Boycott is Defense
Of the Workingman,
Say Labor Leaders

There was a small attendance Of dele
gates at the weekly meeting Of Central
Labor Union last night. but what was
lacking in numbers was more than made
up IN eloquence that poured out in op-
position TO the action of the court in
it's ruling against the labor organiza-
tons in Issuing injunctions.
The right to boycott business interests
that oppose organized labor and its right
20 organize was fully discussed. The
keynote OF the two hours discussion
the boycott and the uncOnstitutiOnality
OF government by injunCtions.
The discussion resulted in no action
the matter being postponed until next
Monday night, when there will be
full attendance. The general opinion
obtains that President GOmpers. of the
American Federation OF Labor. will con-
Giuue to publish the Bucks Stove and
Range Company In the Federationist on
the I'VE do not patronize' list notwith-
standing the injunction order OF Justice
Gould and that his arrest and imprison-
n1ent will follow.
II was decided TO employ n strong
corporation attorney to look after the
rights Of organized labor in these in
junction matters.

American Federation of Labor, and edit

CHINA AND JAPAN

PARIS, Dec. 24.-Japan's treatment Of
Chinese residents of Korea and the
flooding of Mongolia with japanese col
Onists are threatening trouble between
China and Japan.
Concerning conditions in Korea the
Chinese government has already pro
tested to the Japanese minister here
with the sole result that the latter has
denied the facts as laid before him.
BY way OF retaliation China has de-
termined to refuse longer 20 transact
Korean diplomatic business through
Japan, but will send cOnsuls to Korean
cities a. once. This arrangement will
be highly unwelcome to the Mikado and
may bring matters to a crisis at once.
Government Notified.
Chinese merchants in Korea have no
titled their government OF their resol'.-
ton to discontinue credit TO Japan, that
they wish their government TO call on
Japan to draft a commercial code that
they may no longer be victims OF the
Mikado's whims, and that they believe
sending Chinese cOnsuls to the Hermit
Kingdom will have an excellent effect.

way Of the Chinese, practically barring
them from competition.

China Uneasy.

The japanese colonizing OF Mongolia
has not been made an international
matter, but IS causing China great I'M
easiness.
The Governments diplomatic repre-
sentatfves at Tokyo report the existence
OF a society there TO promote emigra-
ton to Mongolia and the Chinese
journal, Using Pao. says significantly
it is useless TO ask the object OF the
Japanese"
Even in personal contact citizens Of
the two countries clash. The Pei Ching
Jihpao, a leading Picking newspaper, pub
fishes an article accusing japanese mer-
chants Of "duplicity. bad faith, and viO-
lenCe." and government officials com
plain that Chinese who go 70 Japan. 10

The board of the New Haven directors is to meet next Saturday and 1t is reported here, on trustworthy authority, that the Morse proposition will be laid before them
 One of the first objects of President Mellen, when he took office several years ago, was the strengthening of the marine department of the railroad not merely by the purchase and building of new boats and improving the service, but by the acquisition, if necessary, of other lines and the combination of the whole at last under centralized man. agement. itself responsive to the con- trolling railroad corporation. This ob- iect has lately been accomplished, with results that romised extremely ser ious competition with the great Morse system of steamboat competition. In consequence there came an acute situa- ton, one which the negotiations now understood to be pending, followed.
 The properties on the sound of the New England Navigation company originally came to the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany as part of the absorbed railroad lines by which several of the steamboat lines were controlled The combination of the New York, Boston and Provi- denee lines, the Stonington line in later years being removed to New London A few months later the Fall River line came into the New Haven system, un-
