President to-day i'm regard to legislation in

gress Mr.. Gompers's purpose was to

these measures in the presidents forth
coming message to Congress. The Pres
ident was deeply interested i'm Mr..
Gomperss remarks, and without ndi-
eating what. II any. specific recommenda-
tons would be made in his message on the
subject. said that he regarded it the duty OF
every man. whether I'm public or private life
10 use every effort In his power to Improve
the condition of the workngman and to
bridge the chasm between him and his en-
ployer. Mr.. Gompers favored the eight-hour
law, which limits a days work TO eighT
hours. whether the work is being done di-
Iecuy by the government or by contractors
and the bill having for its object the inn
proVement Of the condition of American
eeamen. This bin gives to seamen the right

also urged the Lodge immigration BILL which

Henry has submitted to the authorities at
Washington the practice begun by Lafayette

In this revenue district OF providing deposit
tors with the form of receipt. by signing
which they can withdraw their deposits
without paying the bank check stamp tax
A month ago a question was raised at CO.
lumbia, Mo, as to the legality of a depositor
Withdrawing his money from bank by CIV
ing an unstamped receipt instead of a
stamped check. Attorney General Griggs
rendered an opinion that the receipt did
not call for a stamp. 1t was the exercise of
the right of the owner to call for his own
from a custodian; that the receipt was
receipt pure and simple. and as such could
not be taxed. This decision was widely
printed as relieving checks when presented
by the depositor himself from the stamp tax.
Collector Henry yesterday received a tele-
gram from the commissioner of internal
revenue saying that no checks were exempt,
but this did not meet the case of the La
fayette banks When one bank in that city
first placed the receipts on the counter there
was some criticism of the action by other
banks on the ground that it was an evasion
of the law, but all the Lafayette banks are
