Departmental Action Affecting Army
and Navy Officers in Porto Rico

Members of the Cabinet say the al
legged smuggling cases against naval and
army officers and Governments officials
in Porto Rico are merely persecution,
and the men against whom the cases
have been brought may have violated
the laws. but they were not conscious
Of such violation, and the attempt Of ma
tives TO have them prosecuted was un-
warranted. The Department. of Justice
ordered the eases dismissed after they
had been carefully considered by the
Cabinet
Army and naval officers have a club
a San Juan. They carried liquors and
cigars and other supplies rom their
vessels to the club. and did not pay any
duties on them. About year ago Ri

rested, and fined $500 for having con
traband liquor in his possession This
enTaged the natives, and caused them to
demand the punishment of naval officers
for the technical offense upon which the
so-cal1ed smuggling cases are based.

DEFIANCE OF ORGANIZED
LABOR TO ITS TRADUCER
President Gompers Replies to Attack Of
President Parry.

The nti-organized-labor utterances
made by President David NJ Parry. Of
the National Association OF Manufac-
turers, at the annual meeting Of that
organization in New Orleans. Tuesday,
have somewhat fncensed President Sam
uel Gompers. OF the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
In discussing the report made by MT.
Parry, Mr.. Gompers said he purposed TO
retaliate in emphatic terms IN the next
issue of the American Federationist -
The editorial comment which the presi-
dent of the American Federation Of
Labor will make. will be almost identi-
cal with the statement he made yester-
day, which was as follows:
IF there were any doubt that Mr..
Parry had taken leave of his reason. the
report tor rather haranguel which he
has made to his convention, demon
strates it beyond any doubt: # the
manufacturers association indorses MI
Parry's unjustifed, undigested aud mali
cious antagonism to the effort Of the
workers to secure material and moral
Improvement. they simply write them
selves down to his low level, and stand
committed with him for all theg injury
which must follow from his rabid utter
ances. his venomous and ignorant an
tagOnism, which must provoke only Te-
sentiment and retaliation.
