Washington, March 22.-President
Gompers of the American Federation
Of Labor and the executive council of
that organization, with about 100 pres
dents and representatives of interna-
tional trades unions, were received by
Speaker Cannon in the house lobby
during the day. They presented a
document concerning pending labor
legislation, which later was presented
to Senator Frye and President Roose-
welt. The document is as follows:
"The undersigned executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
and those accompanying us in the
presentation of this document, submit
to you the subject matter of the griev-
ances which the workmen of our coun-
try feel by reason of. the Indifferent
position which the congress OF the
United States has manifested toward
the just, reasonable and necessary
measures which have been before it
these past several years and which
particularly affect the interests of the
working people, as well as by reason
of the administrative acts of the ex-
ecutive branches of the government
and the Legislation of the congress
relating to these interests. For. con-
venience the matters Of which we
complain are briefly stated and are as
follows:
"The law commonly known as the
eight-hour law has been found inef.
fective and insufficient to accomplish
the purpose of it's designers and
trainers. Labor has since 1894 urged
the passage of a law so as to remedy
the defects and for it's extension Of all
work done for or on behalf of the gov
eminent. Our efforts have been in
vain.

GRIEVANCES OF LABOR
American Federation Submits Document to Roosevelt,
Cannon and Frye Congress Indifferent to
Demands. Measures Advocated in Vain

the constantly growing evil of induced
and undesirable immigration, but with
out result.
Recognizing the danger Of Chinese
immigration and responsive to the de-
mands of the people congress years
ago enacted an effective Chinese ex-
clusion law: yet, despite the expert
ence of the people of our own country.
as we'll as those of other countries, the
present law is fagrantly violated and
now, by act of congress, it is seriously
proposed to invalidate that law and
reverse the policy.
1.-THE partial relief secured by the
laws of 1895 and 1898, providing that
seamen shall not be compelled to en-
dure involuntary servitude, has been
seriously threatened at each succeed
ing congress. The petitions to secure
for the seanen equal rights with all
others have been denied and a dis
position shown to extend to other
workmen the system of compulsory
labor.
Regarding the Injunction.
'sThe benefcent writ of injunction
intended to prohibit property rights
has, as used in labor disputes, been
perverted so as to attack and destroy
personal freedom and in a manner to
hold that the employer has some
property rights in the labor of the
workmen. Instead of obtaining the re-
lief which labor has sought it Is seri-
ously threatened with statutory au-
thority for existing judicial usurpa-
ton.
1.-THE committee on labor of the
house Of representatives was insti-
tuted at the demand of labor to voice
it's sentiments, to advocate its rights
and to protect it's interests. In the
past two congresses this committee
has been SO organized as to make in
effectual any attempt labor has made
for redress. This being the fact in the
last congress labor requested the
speaker to appoint on the committee
Of labor members who from their ex-
perience, knowledge and sympathy
would render in this congress such
service as the committee was orig
inally designed to perform. Not only
was labor's request ignored but the
hostile makeup of the committee was
accumulated.
Labor now appeals to you and we
trust that it may not be in vain. But
if, perchance, you may not heed us we
shall appeal to the conscience and the
support of Our fellow citizens"
After President Gompers had read
the memorial Speaker Cannon made a
speech in which he resented the charge
Of unfairness against the house COM

An Eminent College Worker
Takes a Fall Out Of
Labor Unions

Chicago, March 22.-Issues growing
out of the complex problems Of mod
ern life were freely dealt with by
speakers at the fifty-eighth convoca-
ton of the University of Chicago. In
his convocation address Floyd Russell
Mechem, professor Of law at the uni
versity, dealt severely with labor un-
ions, through which, he asserted,
many peaceful and honest men con-
tribute to the support of organizations
which openly resort to violence and
lawbreaking.
The speaker asserted that what the
country needs is not more law, but
more honesty, and that many of the
complaints in. regard to our jury sys-
tenn would be done away with if all
citizens would do their duty by serv-
ing on juries when called on. : ~

Bailey

Washington, March 22-In the SEN
ate Mr.. Culberson introduced an
amendment to the railroad rate bill
prohibiting railroads from subscrib-
ing to political campaign funds and
imposing fine and imprisonment for
its violation.
Mr.. Bailey also presented an amend
ment to the bill. He had, he said, not
given the amendment to the public
and would not now do so but for the
fact that Mr.. Dolliver had discussed
the provision in published interview.
He relieved the Iowa senator from the
imputation of intentional divulgence of
another's private papers, but said he
was confident the criticism had been
made without due consideration.
Mr. Baiiey's amendment authorizes
parties aggrieved by orders of the in
terstate comnsAce commission to take
their cases into the United States
courts, but prohibits the suspension
of the commissions orders by inter
locutory DEGREES. 49, F.
Senator Bailey did not know any
thing of his fathers death while he
was speaking on the rate bill. After
he had concluded he was called into
the cloakroom and told by Senator
Foster. He Immediately left for his
rooms in the senate annex. Mr.. TIL
man then announced on the floor of
the senate that news had been re,
ceiyed Of the elder Mr.. Baileyss
death. Mr. Tilin,an spia that Mr..
Bailey could nor continue the debate.

STOCK TRAIN IS
TWICE WRECKED
Four Trainmen Seriously Injured
in a Head On Crash at
Lakota, N. ..

Lakota, N. D., Sept. 1.-Two railway
wrecks occurred in this vicinity yester-
day, the most serious at o'clock last
night when a westbound thru freight
had a head-on collision with a special
stock train in the yards at this point.
-Four train men were injured: Engi-
neer Hooker, shoulder and arms hurt:
Fireman Ridlon, head cut and shoulder
gashed, not serious; E. G. Kidwell.
brakeman, chest hurt and internally
injured, and Conductor Shane, leg cut.
All live at Larimore.
It was over an hour before Fireman
Ridlon could be taken from under the
locomotive, which was on it's side in
the ditch. It is simply mirac ulous that
the men escaped with their lives. They
were moved to the Grace hotel and all
are resting comfortably. = - ~.
The accident was due to the careless
ness of the head brakeman on the stock
train, who failed to flag the regular
freight. He had been working but one
day and has not been found since the
wreck and is supposed to have fed.
Ten cars were demolished and a large
quantity of, merchandise destroyed.
Yesterday morning the same special
stock train was ditched at Bartlett
four miles west Of here, by the spread
ing Of the rails. No one was injured
but several head Of cattle were killed
-Four cars were derailed and overturned
