GROSvENOR CONSPIRACY
BILL IS CAUSING ALARM
Employers of Labor Are DenOunc-
ing 1t as an Attempt to Legal
ize LaWleSSneSS.
FEATURES OF MEASURE
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-The business
interests of the country are stirred up
over the Grosvenor conspiracy bill. En-
ployers of labor from one end of the coun-
try to the other are alarmed at the pros
pect of the adoption of this measure. which
they describe as an attempt to legalize vio-
lence and lawlessness.
mo other bill that we have had before
our committee" said Chairman jenkins
of the judiciary committee ''has attracted
the attention that Mr.. Grosvenor's measure
has. Protests against it have been coming
in by mail and telegraph until we are
nearly swamped by them. We long since
ceased attempting TO acknowledge these
communications. Almost without excep-
tions. the protests couched in bitter
terms. The bill is denounced as anerchistic
and the declaration is made that its adop-
ton Will be runous TO the business in
terests Of the country. The labor leaders
are just as active in their support of the
Grosvenor bill as are the enemies of the
measure in their opposition. The opposi-
ton TO the bill is based on the general
ground that ii will encourage violence, law
lessness and INSTRUMENTATION among the
working classes. One employer writes to the
committee: The present depressed condi-
ton of many lines OF trade is directly due
to the unsettled and unreasonable labor
situation, brought about by agitators ra-
Their than by employees generally"
The bill is entitled "A bill to limit the
meaning of the word conspiracy and
the use of restraining orders and injunc-
tons in certain cases" 1t provides that
no agreement combination or contract by
between two or more persons to do or
procure 10 be done, any act in cOntempla-
ton or furtherance of any trade dispute
between employers and employees in the
District of Columbia or in any Territory or
between employers and employees who may
be engaged in trade or commerce between
the several States shall be deemed
criminal nor shall those engaged therein
be indicted otherwise punishable for the
crime of conspiracy, if such act committed
by one person would not be punishable as
crime: nor shall such agreement, combi-
nation contract be considered in re-
straint of trade or commerce, nor shall
any restraining order or injunction be is
sued with relation thereto. Nothing in
this act shall exempt from punishment,
otherwise than as herein excepted and
persons guilty of conspiracy for which
punishment is now provided by any act of
Congress, but such act of Congress shall,
as to the agreements. combinations and
contracts hereinbefore referred to, be con-
strued as if this act were therein con-
tanned"

RooseveIts Strength in Indiana,

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
without in the least depreciating any
other honored names which have been men
toned for the presidential nomination at
the Republican national convention, l am
satisfied that President Roosevelt is strong
er in Indiana and will carry larger vote
and make a majority more certain than
anv of them. The common people have
come Il, see and know that he stands for
them. They also know that the opposition to
his nomination is found in the class OF poll
ticians who imagine that money is more po-
tent in a political campaign than principle.
And there are others who have not realized
ont of his administration all the personal
benefits they expected. But with the voters
this sort OF opposition will be his strength.
His strenuous enforcement OF the legisla-
ton against the combines OF capital, called
trusts, and all other schemes 10 get rich
quick" at the expense of the masses dis
closes not only moral courage, but that he
brings an enlightened conscience TO guide
him i'm the discharge OF every official act.
The Democratic party is at present with
ont an issue. Let US not make one for
them. The opposition would hail with JOY
the turning down" Of the President, who
has fought the trusts and who has VigOr-
ouslv prosecuted the official grafters. The
president is already nominated by the Re-
nublican masses. The failure of the con-
vention to ratify the choice OF the rank and
file of the party would be disastrous.

Wright regarding various amounts, some as
large as $2,5OO,0O0 appearing on the credit

balance sheet, but the defendant contended
that they were merely "slips of the tongue"
He concluded by declaring that the failure
of the British merican Company was
caused by the malice of a group of members
of the London Stock Exchange, who depre-
ciated the London and Globe shares. Wright
added that he was left 100000 worth of
these shares. He estimated that his loss in
Lake Views was from 100000 to Sl,5oO,ccO,
and said he had mortgaged his property and
sold his house in Park Lane in order TO
save John Fowler and other brokers who
were engaged In sustaining the operations.
Wright declared that all his actions were
legitimate and had been approved by the
board of directors, who had also approved

vailed in this city in connection with all

MANY BILLS To REMOVE
CHARGES OF DISCRETION
Few. However, VIII Be Passed by
Congress Unless Its Present
Mood Changes.
PRESIDENT IS OPPOSED

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, jar. 21.-Very few of the
bills now pending proposing to remove the
charge of desertion from former sailors
and soldiers will be passed. Several such
measures have been presented by the In
diana senators and representatives from
the Northwest. Two thousand bills of this
character are pending before the House
committee on military affairs. and the num-
Der will steadily increase as the session
grows older
In discussing this matter Representative
Hull, chairman of the House committee,
said: Last year Congress passed six bills
to remove charges of desertion, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt vetoed every one of them.
He took a very decided stand against Con-
gress using the power 10 clear up the rec
ords of men who had been branded as de-
serters The President regards this as a
very severe offense, and has apparently
made up his mind not to permit Congress

1880 That law provides that a pension
shall be given TO every honoTably dis
charged soldier who is in any way. dis
abled As soon this law adopted
we had a veritable flood OF bills 10 remove
charges of desertion. The cause was easy
TO discern. l think that any alleged de-
serter who was able TO rest under the

titled TO little consideration at this late
day"
