Wednesday, July 8 1908 -- We're still at the Democratic convention in Denver; the 'anti-injunction' plank in the Democratic platform of 1908 was a response to the courts using injunctions in order to limit the effectiveness of trade unions by making proposed strikes a contempt of court. Bryan strongly supported an anti-injunction plank, but was talked into softening the wording.
