Within the Senate arena today Mr.
Patterson. the junior Senator from
Colorado. who recently bolted the Dem
ocratic caucus on the Santo Domingo
treaty, hurled defiance at his party
colleagues. lie charged them with at
tempted coercion and intimidation.
He declared that # their wishes were
TO prevail. free speech, free thought
and free action would no longer be pos
sible in the greatest deliberative body
on earth. that States would be deprived
OF their proper constitutional repre-
sentation. and that dissenting Senators
would be given severe party punish
ment if they refused TO violate their
oath OF Office.
Mr.. Patterson entered the chamber
late. He found the galleries crowded
with eager spectators who had been at
tracted by the expectation of a sensa-
tional clash between party leaders
Democrats Are Chilly.
There was noticeable that absence
of party greeting that marks the early
hours Of a days session When the
Senator from Colorado passed into the
Republican cloak room with Mr..
Spooner for a conference, significant
looks were exchanged by Democratic
leaders.
There was a large representation of
Senators on the floor as the Senator
arose.
Addressing himself to his resolution
that a party caucus could not bind an
unwilling Senator. Mr.. Patterson, in
! opening. expressed his regret that he
should appear so conspicuous in a mat
ter OF such gravity. but he felt that the
recent action of the Democratic caucus
in passing resolutions binding Demo
cratic Senators TO oppose the ratifica-
tion of the Santo Domingo treaty was
to cover his case. and that he was in-
| tended ''to come within It's intended
censure'
He referred to heing characterized as
"A White House Democrat" or "bolter. -
and as a Senator who was selling his
/ attitude for patronage.
Proud OF Popuiism
| Mr. Patterson said he was proud OF
| his relations with the Democratic and
| Populistic party up 10 the present time
He did not believe. however, he said
| that 1t was In the province of a portion
/ of the members of a political party Il
| 01claES tHe pOlACS u DLutT OF
| that party.
! He asked If the contents of the resolu.
/ ton adopted by the caucus were per
; suasive or coercive. II appeared TO hin
/ eoercive. He read the resolution and
/ then said that In his estimation II was
| usurpasion OF power by the party and
| that IL was not within the Constitution
| of the United States.
Asked One Appointment.
~ have been IN the Senate for five
years" he said. "and IN that time have
asked the President TO make only one
appointment for me. That was In the
case OF thu Rev. n. Eustis, an Eplsoe-
pal clergyman living in my State, who
desired to be q chaplain in the army"
Senator Patterson explained that this
request had not been granted He said
his last conversation with the Presi-
dent v4aa month ago, when he had
discussed certain regulations affecting
the use of public domain by cattlennen.
That conversation, he said, did not end
pleasantly.

ACTION OF CAUCUS
Democratic Senator Tells Chamber He Will

ing Conscience Under Party Coercion.

IN the affirmative,
Then. said Senator Morgan, the
Senator does not approve of the treaty
as it was negotiated and as 1t now
stands? ."

Senator Patterson
4 give notice then. said Senator
Morgan. that as the Senator is now
pursuing that course. I also shall desire
an open session
In the course Of his reference 10 his
career, Senator Patterson alluded to the
success with which Senator TiIlman. az
the leader of the Democratic party in
South Carolina. had observed the priu-
ciple of Dopulism and so held his party
tcgether-
Tillman Eats Crow.
Interrupting Mr. Patterson. Mr.. TIL
man said.
4 want 10 say to the Senator that ]
have eaten just as much crow held out
TO ne - political conventions as any
man on the floor
Il have eaten crow, too said Senator
Patterson, "but never as dark as that
which the Senator has now eaten. and
Of which he now boastN" Referring tC
coercion. Mr.. Patterson said that the
sort of coercion that is brought about
in caucuses strips every Senator of his
independence and makes him choose be-
tween the approval of his own con-
science and political Oblivion. He must
there abandon his connection and give
up the idea of being led by party die
tates and. as boIter from his party
suffer political defeat at home.
Senator Patterson said the caucus de-
cision is not binding in certain cases
The very exceptions TO the rule rs
declared. prove the cruelty and injus
tice Cf this caucus action. The caucus
| is equivalent to the declaration thai
when We cannot reach a man through
his reason we viii reach him through
his fears. Cucuses Of this kind are de
moraIizing and degrading TO those upor
whom they are intended to operate"
The man who is willing to surrender
mis- convictions at the behest Of his party
associates is more likely to succumb t
veual influences than he who in his every
vote upon every occasion voices the de
Cision of his Own conscience"

Throughout his stay he refrained from
discussing questions relating to the
future Of the Philippines.

told the Fillipinos that nothing he could

BOYCOTT A CRIME
HEAVY DAMAGES AeAIt'oT LABOR
COUNCIL.
WISCONSIN JUDGES AWARD
Contract to Enforce Closed Shop Held
to Be iilesal-law Furnishes Rem
edy for Injury to Business.

Racine, Wis.-Union labor was dealt
a heavy blow by the decision of Judge
Chester A. Fowler in the boycott suit
for $4,000 damages brought by
baker, Otto B. SchlutZe
against the Trades Labor Coun-
Gil. Benjamin Dresser and others.
BY the decision the contract exacted
from the boss bakers by the union men
In an effort to enforce the closed shop
Is held Illegal; trades council and the
individual members are enjoined from
using the unfair list:" the boycott is
declared an actionable conspiracy to
accomplish criminal or unlawful pur-
pose; Baker Schlutze is allowed to re-
cover damages of s2,500 for the loss of
prohts from the time of the commence.
ment of the boycotting acts up to the
time of the trial, and $500 in damages
Tor the amount of injury 20 his busi-
ness and property in relation to its
selling value.
The decision is in part as follows:
All boss bakers of the city signed
this agreement except the plaintiff who
has steadfastly refused to do so.
Upon the plaintiffs refusing to
sign, Concerted attack upon his
business was begun by organ.
lied labor with the object and
purpose of compelling him, against his
will, to sign the contract lld has been
maintained with more or less visor up
to the present time.
The plaintiff has suffered a pcrma-
nent and all but destructive injury to
his business. which has been caused
by the combined acts and the attitude
of organized labor.
AN injury to ones business and
trade is on the same footing as an in.
jury to his tangible property, and the
law furnishes remedy for one as well
as the other.
The acts complained of are, in my
view. plainly in violation of section 466
A, Wisconsin statutes of 1898, as con-
strued by the Supreme Court. This
statute makes any two or more per
sons who shall combine. associate, mu-
tually undertake or concert together
for the purpose of wilfully or mali
ciously injuring another, his trade or
business, by any means whatever, or
for the purpose of maliciously compel
ling another to do or perform any act
against his will, guilty of an offense
punishable by fine and Imprisonment.
This contract was in itself an IL
legal contraction in that 1t would by
its terms obligate the plaintiff TO en-
ploy union labor only as distinguished
from non-union labor. 1t would obligate
him to maintain a closed shop as dis
tinguished from an open shop"
