NEW YORK, April 4.-The World
says: The result Of the eclothing cutters
lockout, one of the most important
labor movements of recent date is on
foot. This Is an effort to patch mp the
differences that have long existed be-
tween the Knights of Labor and the
American Federation of Labor matters.
A secret conference OF representatives
of varions sections of the labor move
ment will be held to try to start this
movement The feeling has been
steadily gaining ground since the deci-
sion OF Judge Ricks in the Toledo, Ann
Arbor and Northern Michigan trouble,
that new methods must be adopted by
organized labor The injunctions
issued by Jrage Lawrence on Wednes-
day and Saturday brought this feeling
to head.
Strike and Boycott Inefficient.
The feeling is that labor now is at a
disadvantage in itsstruggle with capi-
tai, in view OF the new tactics of the
latter. The successive appeals to the
courts show that the old methods of
strike and boycott are becoming inef-
fectual in view OF the present factional
quarrel existing between the different
organizations All the talk now is in
faver of a union of the two great bodies
the knights of Labor and the Amer
ican Fedfrations. Several meetings of
tile tailors were held all over
the East side in Brooklyn
and in Brownsville. l.. /. At all these
meetings the locked out cutters Were
assured OF support, moral and financial.

had heen outlined which would be a

The Law Giving our Local Courts
Criminal Jurisdiction.


Judge Parker, in a letter on The
question Of the right of the Cher
okee authorities to try Jim vii
liams for the murder Of Dick Boggs
says:
If Boggs is an Indian by BLOOD
or adoption, and If Jim Williams i:
also an Indian by blood or adop
ton there can be no question al
to the jurisdiction of the Indian
courts. This jurisdiction is set
tied by act of congress of May 2,
1890, 20 Statutes, 81, chapter 1872
entitled:& - act to provide a tenn.
porary government for the terri
tory OF Oklahoma, to enlarge the
jurisdiction of the United States
court in the Indian Territory and
for other purposes. The Both sec
ton of this act contains the follow
ing proviso:
That the judicial:tribunals Of the
Indian nations shall retain exclu-
sive jurisdiction of all civil and
criminal cases arising in the act in
which members of the nation by
nativity or by adoption shall be
the only parties.
The 31st section of such act also
contains the following as its con-
cluding paragraph; The constitu.
ton of the United States and all
general laws of the United States
which prohibit crimes and misde-
meanors in any place within the
sole and exclusive jurisdiction of
the United States except in the
District of Columbia, and all laws
relating to national banking asso-
Citations, shall have the same force
and effect in the Indian Territory
as elsewhere in the United States,
but nothing in this act shall be so
construed as to deprive any of the
courts of the civilized nations of
exclusive jurisdiction over all cases
arising wherein members of said
nation, whether by treaty, blood
or adoption are the sole parties;
uOI 81 dS W lubtIAbiO WIN bllO lAbub
and power of said civilized nations
to punish said members for viola
tions of the statutes and laws en-
acted by their national councils,
when such laws are not contrary
to the treaties and laws of the
United States.
This statute received an inter-
probation in the case in re May
field 141 U. s., LOG, and the su-
preme court in that case conclu-
sively decided that if any offense
is committed by a person who is
an Indian by blood or adoption
upon a person occupying a like
status, that the Indian courts will
alone have jurisdiction. This
question has now passed beyond
controversy, and the burden of
trying and Furnishing citizens by
adoption for offenses committed
upon citizens of the nation by
blood or adoption is now upon the
courts of the Indian Territory.
