CHICAGO, Oct. 23.-President Sam

Grafton of Labor today reiterated his
former announcement that he will op-
pose any man who favors government

the Chicago Federation of Labor he
mainta3Jed that the rights of free

away by the abuse of the Injunction.
While not mentioning Secretary of
War w. H. Taft by name, he made 1t
plain that he referred to that officers

ing:
Regardless of all else is the neces-
sity of all organized labor and its
sympathizers to concentrate their err
forts to send to oblivion any men, be
he the president of the United States,
a member of the cabinet or any other
officer. who does not stand right be-
fore the people.
President Vancleave of the Ma

said that the $1,000. 900 raised by that
organization was for educational pur-
poses," continued Gompers. But a
part of it has already been used to

RESUMES ROUTINE
Adjournment of Congress Gives Relief
From Sunday Work.

The adjournment of Congress permits
the Government Printing Office to re-
turn TO the everyday routine and brings
with II the relaxation from the strain
under which all must labor during a
Congressional session. The boys in the
Office take delight in promptly meet
Ing every demand on the office in the
way of Congressional printing, much OF
which must be done at lightning-like
speed, but it is with equal pleasure that
the sessions end is welcomed. which
brings with it q degree of relief in the
way Of respite from the hard pace tha-
has been maintained.
The past session Of Congress made an
unusually heavy demand for printing.
which served TO keep the regular and
temporary force OF compositors and
others extremely busy. necessitating. as
it did, the employment of much of the
force on Sundays during the session.
