More Room for President.

President Roosevelt and Representa-

the House Committee on Public Build

White House business.
Heretofore there have been plans for
remodeling and charging the White
House in order to meet present require

dent Roosevelt is opposed to changing in
any material way the arrangement of this
historic structure. Under these circum-
stances enlarged facilities would have to
be provided elsewhere At one time

"The people have no source OF income.
They have had neither food nor water
for their stock, and finally, when re-

no food for themselves were forced to
sell their cattle, horses and mules. Their

Protest From Gompers.

Samuel Gompers, president of the

to the Senate a protest against the
Conspiracy" or Anti-1nj JUNCTION, bill,
as reported to the Senate by the Com
mittee on the Judiciary.
He says that when the bill was first
reported February 3 lit was received
by all parties in interest as a measure
calculated to right wrong too long en-
dured." This feeling, however, was rude
ly changed, he says, by the latest report.
He quoted the opinion of an attorney
to the effect that the bill as now re-
ported is completely subversive of all
principles of liberty" and added: ""Or-
ganized labor seeks no immunity from
the law applicable to all other citizens
and people of our country, but must in
sist that those things which are legal
when performed by other citizens ought
not to be illegal when performed by
members of organized labor, and it was
to recover those rights to the members
of organized labor that the original bill
was drafted"
He concluded by saying that the labor
interests would prefer the defeat of the
bill as amended to its passage. He asks,
however, that the original bill be IA
vorably acted upon.
