cussed the section OF the presidents mes
sage recommending modification of the
Chinese exclusion act.
There is nothing radical about the
changes the president proposes" said Mr.

officers"

eoMPERS DENdUNcEs A BILL !
says President ftftt Have Approved
Gilbert Msssure without TN
derstandiae It's Terms.


WASHINGTON. March 1A-President
Gompers Of the American Federation OF
Labor and A Furuseth. president Of the
Seamens' union. caused a furore today be-
fore the house committee ON judiciary dur
ing the hearing on snti-lnjunction bills by
denouncing the Gilbert anti-injunotion bill.
which is said TO have been drawn by Mr.
Garfield. chief of the bureau Of corpora
tons and to have the endorsement Of
President Roosevelt.
On the presidents reported endorsement
of the Gilbert bill Mt. Furuseth said: "If
he understands this bill and then gives It
his endorsement, he Is an enemy to honest
labor, struggling under adverse conditions
for better life. Nay, he would be an
enemy to human liberty. We do not be-
lleve. we will not believe it,"
The Gilbert bill grants courts sitting in
equity absolute jurisdiction in all cases
growing out Of labor troubles. The equity
process in labor suits is violently opposed
by the labor leaders.
Mr. Gompers, when asked if he shared
Mr. Furuseth's views on the Gilbert bill.
said he does tQ n large degree He urged
that any bill TO prevent injunotions iniuri-
Gus to the labor interests. must forbid
orders preventing co nbinations of men
from doing what ind dhiduals may do le-
gally, and he declared injunctions against
crimes were unnecessa by, existing law
reaches the case
The Gilbert bill provides that restraining
orders or intunctions In labor cases can
not be granted without first giving due
notice to the opposite party.
II. r. Fuller. who spoke for the various
brotherhoods of railway employees said this
is a concession he is willing to accept as
a first step in the direction of anti-injunc-
tion legislation wholly acceptable TO the
labor organizations.
Mr.. Gompers, however, did not so regard
the bill.
James A. Emery of New York. repre-
senting the Citizens Industrial association
and T. J. Mahoney of Omaha. representa-
the National Association Of Manufacturers
spoke in opposition TO all anti-lntunction
measures and said the issuance of injunc-
tons against labor organizations are neces-
sary to protect property.
The hearing will continue tomorrow.

20 Them


ALGECIRAs, Spain. March 1A-Moroc-
can conference has reached a peculiar
stage II is completely helpless to solve
the deadlock which has arisen over the
remaining details of the police and bank
questions. The sessions are temporarily
suspended without knowing when they will
resume. The French and German dele
sates are bound by their instructions and
therefore are unable to make any further
.uoncessions and the conference not having
judicial or legislative powers cannot settle
the difference by a majority.
The neutral delegates who have hereto
fore sought to secure an agreement
between the parties which the conference
could unanimously confirm now recognize
that II the conference is left to itself It Is
incapable Of getting ou, OF the present
dlfficulty and It remains for the govern
ments themselves to intervene for the
purpose Of reaching an agreement.
