LABOR TO Fight OPEN SHOP
DECLARATION MADE By FED
GRAFTON PRESIDENT.
Not Ready to Make Plans Public.
Significant Reference to Courts
Recent Injunction.

Declaring that labor will make a strong
fight against the principle of the open
shop during the ensuing year. Samuel
Gompers. president OF the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, IN an editorial in the
January Issue Of the Federationist, yes
terday broke the silence which he had
maintained ever since the announcement
of the decision of Justice Ashley M. Gould
in the case of the Buck Stove and Range
Company Of st. Louis. Mr. Gompers tnti-
mated that organized labor is preparing
for vigorous campaign to secure its
rights.
We will do something in the matter -
he said. but the federation's plans can
not yet be made public You may rest
buy those stoves"
THE American Federation Of Labor is
trying to organise all the workingmen Of
the United States, and we will do it. AL
beers. and we are constantly growing. To
protect himself, the workingman must or
ganize. He cannot fight capital as an in
dividual and secure his rights. The out
look for organized labor In the coming
year is bright: brighter than 1t has ever
been before.
Voluntary Arbitration.
Organized labor Is willing to accept vol
untary arbitration to prevent strikes. pro-
vided by that method the arbitration is
really voluntary and faithfully carried
out.
Let employers organize as much as they
please. and in any way they please. but
let them honestly recognize the same
right in organized labor and deal with It
not at arms length and under the spur
Of necessity, but gladly and willingly.
There Is no other way to avert strikes
no other way to avert the losses en-
tailed by industrial warfare"
Continuing, Mr.. Gompers said: Fig
ures are given by the Department Of
Commerce and Labor showing the i'm
mense amounts lost by labor and by capi-
ence left is that the elimination Of strikes
would mean a direct saving Of the
amounts mentioned.
Subject to Discounts.
"But this inference is subject to heavy
discounts. Business has its ups and
downs apart from labor. Statisticians
cannot tell what would have happened
in any given case, and they naturally re-
gard the losses as total and real.
mo Intelligent workman will assert that
the strike method Is in itself good
thing. 1t may be inevitable, at times. but
a necessary evil Is not a blessing. Organ
sake of striking, and would be glad of bet
ter methods to settle disputes. But facts
are facts. and human nature is human ma
ture. What Is labor to do when an en-
ployer Is arrogant, stupid, blind to his
own interests, prejudiced and arbitrary?

JEFF DAVIS TO THE FRONT.
Startled The Senate BY Announcing That

ARKANSAS Gazette.)

A special to the Gazette from
its Washington correspondent
announces that Senator jeff
Davis startled the staid and
reverend seniors in the Senate by
giving formal notice that he
would address the Senate Decem-
ber 18th on his anti-trust bill,
which he introduced on the 4th
inst. at the first opportunity Of the
session for Offering bills. His
bill follows in part the lines laid
down by the measure he proposed
in this state for the suppression
Of pools, trusts and combinations
in trade" Its provisions are
sweeping in application, includ-
ing all conceivable forms whereby
persons or corporations engaged
in interstate or international trade
seek to evade the law, forbidding
combinations in restraint Of trade,
specifying trusts formed in this
country or any other country.
The bill prohibits any agree
ment to fix the price of any
article of manufactured pro-
duction, imposing a penalty of a
So, 900 fine for each offense, and
each day Of continuing offense
another $4,000 fine. 1t also
makes the violation a felony, with
imprisonment Of not less than five
nor more than twenty years, the
offending person or corporation
to forfeit its charter if it be O.
Federal one. The measure makes
it unlawful TO sell, deliver or
dispose Of articles sold by pro"
hibited corporations, and relieves
the purchaser form liability to
pay for the articles so prohibited.
Section five is especially drastic
in defining corporations or COM
binations prohibited by the act
II makes it unlawful to offer for
sale any article for less than the
cost Of manufacture, for the pur-
pose Of preventing competition,
1t provides that if any officer Of a

failure shall operate TO cause the

ing all pleadings filed previously
by the defense,
