TO BRING A COUNTER SUIT
Labor Interests Propose an Action
Against Manufacturers.
Mr.. Gompers Asserts a Conspiracy
Exists to Crush Organized Labor
Might Disregard Injunction.

Washington, Aug. 22.-Following a
meeting of the executive council of
the American Federation of Labor
Wednesday, President Gompers said
that most probably the federation
would bring counter-suit against
the National Manufacturers associa-
ton, charging that body with conspir-
acy. He stated that the association
recently met in New York with the
object of devising means for the in
jury of organized labor and that it
has been made evident that there is
to be concerted effort against that in
terest.
Mr.. Gompers in an interview We'd
nesday charged that the recent Van
Cleave injunction proceedings against
boycotts and publication of unfair
LISTS were instigated by the Manu-
facturers' association which, he said,
recently decided to raise S1,500,000 to
crush organized labor Mr.. Gompers
added:
THE executive council of the Am
erican Federation of labor decided
Wednesday that the case to be met in
the courts shall be taken on the
broadcast scope. The justification of,
or exercise of our rights sought to be
enjoined are not illegal or unlawful
and we will continue to assert them.
I'VE know we are within our legal
rights and we propose to exercise
them regardless of personal conse-
quences.
so far as | am concerned, | wish
to state this, when it comes to a
choice between surrendering my
rights as a free American citizen or
violating the injunction of the courts,
| do not hesitate to say that shall eX-
ercise my rights, as between the
two"

FOR SELFISH ENDS.
The Efforts Being Made by the Amerl-a
can Medical Association. KS

The Political activity of the Ameri-
can Medical Association has become
so pronounced as to cause comment
in political circles especially as the
the avowed purpose of the Doctors Of
the Regular" or Allopathic school, OF
which the Association is chiefly COM
posed, is to secure the passage of such
laws as will not only prevent the
sale of so-called Patent" medicines,
but will restrict the practice of medi-
cine and healing to the schools" now
recognized. This in many states would
prevent the growing practice of o.
teopathy, and in nearly every state
would prevent the healers of the
Christian Science and mental science
belief from practicing those sciences
in which the faith of so many intelll-
gent people is so firmly rooted.
The American Medical Association
has a Committee on Legislation"
and the committee has correspond
ents in practically every township -
some 10000 correspondents in all.
This committee at the last session OF
the American Medical Association
held in June Of this year expressed a
hope that larger number OF physl-
clans than heretofore will offer them
selves as candidates bou Congress at
the first opportunity. In it's annual
report this Committee said: ITO meet
the growing demands of the move
ment, however,. particularly if the
work of active participation in State
legislation is undertaken, larger
clerical force must be employed"
This is almost the first time in the
history of the United States that an
organized class: has frankly ayowed
the purpose of capturing legislatures
and dominating legislation in their
own selfish interests.
The American Medical Association
has about $4,000 members of whom
1900 are fully constituted mem
bers" and the rest are members be-
cause of their affiliation with state or
local societies. The Association owns
real estate in. Chicago valued at SILL
ISL. 81 and its; total assets are $751;
567.S9. It's liabilities at the time OF
the annual report which was made at
the June meeting, amounted to only
S21, 9O6. The excess of assets over
liabilities is increasing at the rate OF
about $4,000 year, and the purpose
of the organization is to dominate
the field of medicine; and by crushing
all competitions by securing the pas
sage of prohibitive legislation, compel
all of the people of the United States
to pay a doctors fee every time the
most simple remedy is needed.

Kansas City May Lose the Game.

Lawrence. Kan, Aug. 2S.-If George
Tebeau holds out in his demand for
% per cent of the gate receipts for
the use of Association park, and the
Kansas City Athletic club refuses to
handle the game, there is a strong
probability that the annual Missouri
Kansas Thanksgiving day football
contest will be played on McCook
field in Lawrence. Local men who
have been consulted on the matter
are anxious for the game here and
assure the football management that
5000 Lawrence citizens will attend
the match The annual struggle would
then be played alternately in Law
renee and Columbia.

Patron Saint Of Lawyers.

This story is told at the expense OF
Francis H. T. Maxwell, a well-known
lawyer. The members Of the Taunton,
Mass, Bar association thought they
ought to have a patron saint, but after
much wrangling they could not hit up
on any particular saint.
Finally committee, of which Mr..
Maxwell was a member, was appoint
ed to make a selection. They made
trip to New York, and there visited
gallery where most of the saints were
carved in marble. It was decided to
leave the selection to Mr.. Maxwell,
and after making the rounds he placed
his hand on one in group of twok
This one win do" he said. He had
his hand on the devil, whom st. Mi
ehael was driving before him.

on the suit of James w. Vancleave,

of Manufacturers against President
Gompers and other general officers of

TUPPER LOSES IN CONTEST WITH
 HARRINGTON
Second Round of Tournament
 Sees Elimination of Last
 Scratch Man - Broderick Defeats Forbes,

With the defeat of Tupper last evening by Harrington in the second round of the elimination pool tourna- ment which has been in progress at the Elks' Club, the last of the scratch men is out of the running and the contest is nearing the end of the sec ond stage. In the second game Dr. Frederick sprang 6 surprise, defeat ing Forbes after the latter had haI a lead during the greater portion of the game.
 Much speculation had been indulged in as to the result of the Harrington, Tupper game, the former having a handicap of five points, and the lat ter being the only scratch man left in the contest. Up until the game opened the sentiment was evenly di. videe, but before it had progressed very far Harrington became the odds on favorite. Playing the steady and l careful game, which has eharacteriz- ed his work since the opening round Harrington secured lead in the first couple of frames. and gradually en. larged 1t with each successive frame.
 On the other, Tupper did not seem to be in the best of form at any time in the game. However, he played a steady game until his opponents lead became rather large, at which time
 the theatrical manager gave an illus. 1 tration of how one would pose for a moving picture entitled" The Lates; Sport-Ballooning" The final score
 stood: Harrington, 100; Tupper 63. In the second game Forbes was a
 fayorite against pr. Frederick and
 for time it looked very much as
 if this was the proper dope" Start ing with a handicap of five points
 Forbes overlook the physicians han
 dicap of ten and kept on piling uI the points until it looked like a walk | ing talking party. However, after the | fifty mark was turned, matters be
 gan to assume a different appearance
 Gradually Frederick oyercame the
 lead of his opponent by a succession | of brilliant runs. The spurt, which
 it was feared was temporary, was the
 real article and the doctor finished
 in good style while Forbes was stil at the S9th post
 The first game this evening will bC played by Pattison (9O) and Francis 1 (90) and the second by Zeismer (90
 and Neylan (90).

OUTLOOK IS NOT VERY BRIGHT AT
 PRESENT
In ConverSing With Big East en Brokers Duey Finds They Believe Standard Oil Responsible for Slump.

After spending about six weeks travelling through the east on his sum- mer vacation Harry Duey, member of the well known firm of brokers, re- turned to the city Sunday morning, and last evening left for Hachita, N. M., from which point he will go to the property of the Anderson-Apache Company, in which he is a heavy stockholder and one of the directors.
 When seen by a Review reporter and asked concerning financial con ditions in the east, as we'll as the opin. ions of the prominent brokers of that section of the country in regard to the recent slump in the market, Duey said:
 Prom all I could learn the condi tions in the money market in all oi the big eastern centers does not differ in the least from its condition right here in Bisbee-it is very tight, and there is no definite prospect of its be coming better in the near future. Al though there seems to be a great deal of money, those who have 1t are keeping it well in hand. fearing that the long threatened contest between the big corporations and the fedora administration will bring about a con dition of affairs wherein every avail able dollar will be necessary for i'm mediate use.
 'In regard to the stock market those brokers with whom I conTersed in Chicago, seemed to hold different opinions, some thinking that it would improve steadily, while others were firmly convinced that no radica
 change will come either way unti
 the government succeeds in bringins the big corporations into line, so tha
 public confidence will be restored
 without which no change for the bet
 ter can be expected.
 Talking of the recent slump thu majority seemed to be of the opinioI
 that out of revenge the Standard Oi l crowd hammered the market, anC tried to gain the support of the smal | investors against the administration which has been instrumental in SCOT 1 ing a $29 ,240,000 fine against them With their enormous resources thi crowd can undoubtedly demoralize tn ] whole situation, but it is not proba ble that they will pursue this cours
 in the face of public opinion whicl
 is already So strongly opposed t
 them"

pERSUADEs GIRL IF THIRTEEN
 ID ELOPE
San Antonio Comancho, 25 Years of Age, Is Caught After Having Had Girl Away from Home 24 Hours.

After taking Eustalia Mendoza, aged 13 years, away from her parents home, and remaining hidden with her in a shack on Chihuahua Hill since Sunday evening, San Antonio Co., manchc, aged 25 years, was last night placed under arrest by Deputy Sheriff Will White, who also took the tirl into custody. Comancho will have a preliminary hearing on Wednesday.
 Yesterday morning Nativadad Men doza appeared in Justice Hogan's court and informed him that San An tonio Comancho had persuaded her 13-year-old daughter to leave home with him on Sunday evening, and that neither of them had been seen after that. A complaint was drawn up and warrants issued for the arrest of the fugitives. The papers were placed in the hands of Deputy Sheriff White, who immediately got into com munication with the officers at Naco, the mcsher having stated that she be- lieved the man had started for Can anea.
 All of yesterday not sign of the fugitives wa found, but late last evening White, while working around among the Mexican population of Chi huahua Hill. learned that Comancho had been seen in a shack above Naco Road. The officer at once went to the place designated, and although he knocked on the door several times got no reply. He then tried the window. but that also was locked, but just at that minute he heard some one cough inside, and going to the door. informed the occupants that he would force ali entrance if they did not permit him to enter immediately. The threat had no effect. and White was well along on the work of demolishing the door when a man inside said he would open it.
 As soon as he laid eyes on him White knew Comanche and placed hin under arrest, as well as the girl who was in the room. The prisoners were placed in the branch county jail.
