there is to 1t. We have not determined
whether this is question for the state

II have not received any telegram Of this

Francis J. Heney, appointed temporarily
to prosecute the late Senator Mitchell and
others under indictment for land frauds.
Bristol was named upon the recommended

consulted as to the appointment. There
was serious objection in Oregon to the ap-
pointment of Bristol under the circum-
stances and charges were filed against him
by Senator Fulton, alleging unprofessionat
conduct in case O number or years ago.
After considering 1t some time Attorney
General Moody turned 1t over to the oregon
Bar Association for investigation as to the
facts being under the impression that the
bar association desired to pass upon Bris-

citation, however. refused to pass upon It
or handle 1t, again throwing the response

Justice.
Senator Fulton was present this morning

Action was taken ny the executive council

afternoon in connection with the future
course Of the organization in the field of
politics as result OF the recent presenta-
ton to the President and Congress of the
bill Of grievance of organized labor.
Al the conclusion of the council meeting
today President Gompers informed a Star
reporter that the decision had been reached
to instruct the officers and members of the
federation to more effectively prosecute the
policy OF questioning candidates for public
office upon questions affecting the interests
Of labor and the people generally"
This action Is understood to mean that

Other Defeats Pointed Out.

II is recalled that the Questioning of
candidates for public office, as 1t is termed
was resorted Ia at the last election by a
politico-labor bureau that was established
in this city, and which is said TO have re-
suited in the defeat of several members OF
Congress who were said to be Objectionable
to the cause OF the worklngmen. This bu-
reau sent out much literature to the dis
tricts of the members who had been
marked, and also furnished speakers and
other workers.
President Gompers says the position the
federation has taken has been commended
by some of the leading newspapers in the
United States, and that encouragement has
been received from other sources. Re-
ferring to the statement that labor legisla-
tlOn Is class legislation, Mr. Gompers de-
clared that the ship subsidy bill was class
legislation of the most pronounced type.
The bill OF grievances which was present
Cd to President Roosevelt and to Speaker
Cannon and Senator Frye by President
Gompcrs and more than one hundred rep
resentatives of organized labor is still
matter of energetic discussion before the
executive council. ii is quite evident how
