Nashville Banner.
 The Alabama law which prohibits, features of the boycott is attracting the attention of the Northern press. Leslic's Weekly of recent date says:
 ''The South is leading the way boldly and bluntly, according to it's fashion, in one of the greatest struggles that this country has ever had. We refer to the struggle against various evils and abuses connected with, but by no means essential to, the development of trades unionism. One of these is the odlous practice of the boycott. While Northe. n politicians and legislators of all parties have been truck ling to alleged labor interests on this sub iect the Alabama Legislature has gone ahead and enacted a drastic law, which. if enforced, as it certainly will be in that State, will go far toward ridding Ala bama of this un-American method of en- forcing demands of any kind.
 The Alabama law prohibits lolterlng about a place of business for the purpose of turning away it's patrons by threats, persuasions. or inducements and the printing and circulating of notices having the same object. It also prohibits the publication of the name or any public official or judicial officer upon the black list unfair list. or other similar list be- cause of any lawful act or decision uf such official. The use of force, threats or other means of intimidation to prevent any person from engaging in lawful ur- cupation is strictly forbidden.
 That the law is not ai ined at labor unions or in the interest wholly of em- ployers is shown by the fact that it also prohibits employers and corporations from maintaining a blacklist or using any method to prevent persons from obtaining employment.
 Laws like this, strictly enforced, would go far towards settling what iS called "the labor problem" and preventing the frequent recurrence of lawles dcmonstra- lions as d result of disputes between cap ital and labor But 1t is not so much the need of laws to prevent trouble of this kind as it Is the enforcement or the , laws now existing. All forms of violence are unlawful. and strikes would lose their terror if the laws of this cha 'acter now on the statute books of every State in the Union were always strictly upheld: Ine neyortholess. nsS oI @ a just and proper one, as IS also the provision against blacklstlne' Such practices should be everywhere pro- hibited.

TAMMANY IN 1904.
Parker May Be Bearded as Too Close
 fn Ei11

New York Special to Washington Post. Senator Arthur P. German of Maryland, returned to Washington tonight, after a very quiet visit in this city of twenty four hours. During his stay he was wis., lted by lieutenants of Charles F. Murphy. the leader of Tammany Hall, and a score or more of other prominent State Demo crats
 There was held in the Fifth Avenue Ho- tel. where the Senator was staying, a conference of the very first importance, having for one of its purposes unity of action in the Democratic National Con- vention.
 Murphy has been favorable to the norn- ination of ex-President Cleveland for the Presidency, but since MT, Cleveland re- tired from the contest Tammany has ap- peared to lean to Parker as the only New Yorker mentioned in connection with the nomination. Recently 1t has been found that Parker was too close to Senator Hill to please Murphy's friends. The Tam many leader then instructed the sub-lead. CTS mat they should not indorse any par tlcuiar candidate, thus leaving the organ ization free to make a choice In this state of affairs Senator German Was asked to come to New York for a con. ference. which took place at the Fiftn Avenue Hotel here today.
 The Whitney element of the Demo. cratic Party is said to be for Richard Oi ney, and the Parker boom has failed i'd enlist the support from this quarter that The Brooklyn Eagle evidently counted upon.
 While the report tonight that Senator German has virtually been assured the support of Tammany Hall is believed to be exaggerated, there is no doubt of the friendly feeling now existing here toward the Marylander. The Parker boom has not apparent been strengthened locally by Mr. Cleveland's recent announcement. It is the understanding that MT. German is very conservative in his conferences with Democrats, and that he is far from seeking an Endorsement at this time One of his friends Is authority for the state decided to become candidate for Presl- dent.
