ANTI-INJUNCTIOH BILL
BEFORE THE COMMITTEE
Many Protests Entered Against Its
Passage by Employers Of
Labor.

WASHINGTON, Feb. A.-The House
committee on judiciary to-day began a Sc
ries of hearings on the Grosvenor bill to
limit the meaning of the word conspiracy
and the use of restraining orders and in
functions
President Gompers, of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, presented his views in
favor of the measure before leaving for
Porto Rico. large delegation headed by
James w. Beck, former assistant attorney
general, and Daniel Davenport were pres
ent to-day in opposition to it. S. Keighler,
of Pittsburg representing the National
Building Trade Employers Association, en-
tered a protest in behalf of his associa-
ton, the grounds that existing laws
were amply sufficient TO enable employees to
secure their rights. and none too strong to
secure to the employing classes the Sc
curity of their property. 1t would destroy
personal liberty and free institutions of
government, he declared.
Mr.. Beck said he represented the Building
Trades League of Chicago, the American
Anti-boycott Association, and the Nation
al Association of Marble Dealers. Mr..
Beck based his opposition on four funda-
mental reasons: First, the bill was am
biguous and would give rise to a flood of
evils: second, 1t was uncaled for; third,
il would legalize unlawful, VIOLENT and
criminal conspiracies in restraint of trade,
and fourth, its provisions were uncOnstitu-
tional Mr.. Beck declared that If enacted
into law the bill would effectually repeal
the Sherman antitrust law. Under it, il
would be possible to form the Northern Sc
curities Company on the ground that such
a combination would be in furtherance of
settlement of trade disputes. Mr.. Beck
quoted Mr. Gompers, of the Federation of
Labor, and Mr.. Mitchell, of the Mine Work
ers' Association. as saying that they would
not personally obey an Injunction if they
deemed it an interference with their rights
as they saw them.

MACHEN'S COUNSEL
SCORES GOVERNMENT
Charges 1t with Juggling Figures
in Effort to Secure a Con-
viction.
v1ctIOn.
ALLEGED HOLD-UP GAME

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-Continuing his
argument in the postal trial to-day Charles
Douglass, for the Defense charged the
prosecution with not having come out into
the open with respect TO the Lorenz note
for Sc. COO The deductions of the govern
ment regarding the financial transactions
Of Lorenz and Machen he characterized as
the most remarkable specimen of jugglery
in figures in the history of the courts, hav-
ing for its object the landing behind the
bars of an erstwhiIe distinguished official
of the government and four others whose
regulations have been as clean as his Mr.
Douglass further charged Mr.. Purdy, of
counsel for the government, with having
seriously attempted to impress the jury
with a misstatement regarding certain fig
ures and said that counsel for the defense
felt degree of honest indignation at that
line of discussion in a matter so grave and
important. He also charged that certain
financial transactions between Machen and
Lorenz had been deliberately and purposely
excluded by the government from all calcu-
lation because they did not suit the govern
ments end. aim and purposes. Inspector
Mayer, he also charged, had returned to
Mr.. Lorenz twenty out of thirty-seven
checks, because they did not suit his pur-
poses and IL was Mayer, he added. who was
the real prosecutor in this case. He crit
icised the failure of the government to pay
the Groffs balance of $4,000 and said it
was simply "a hOld-up game.
Mr.. Douglass also bitterly assailed First
Assistant Postmaster General Wynne. Mr..
Douglass openly asserted that the postoffice
inspectors had changed the language of the
statement made to them by Samuel a. Croft
and that the simple, unsuspecting Croft
signed IL without reading 1t. In vehement
language Mr. Douglass declared that all
the Postoffice Department wanted was to
land Machen. The other defendants were
nothing more than incidents in the case.
Commenting the failure of General Bris-
tow and Inspector Fosnes to testify in
the case he said that they ought to have
stood up like white men instead of like
towards and poltroonS. The real conspiracy
20 defraud. he said. was by Bristow, In
spectors Fosnes, 1horp and Mayer and
First Assistant Postmaster General Wynne
who, he said, had robbed the government
OF the services of a man whose ability had
been abundantly recognized Mr.. Holmes
Conrad then began the final argument for
the prosecution. AS TO the charge which
had been made that the government has
unfairly withheld from the jury its posi-
ton about the note. Mr.. Conrad drew a
simile OF a man who had been sued for
money he did not owe, and who simply lis
tened to what was said about il. That was
what the government had done here, he
said. Its case had been established and ii
had not been controverted.

ton introduced by Senator Morgan calling

ton of the republic of Panama and a copy

ceived by him" The resolution also called

dent, sends a translation of the draft of

ercise any legislative functions pending the
formation and adoption of the Constitu-
ton"

provisions reciting the recognized right of

that this right of intervention is expressly
set forth as regards the future. He also
