Challenged to Say if He In
dorses Gompers.
CALLS BOYCOTT BRUTAL
Declares No Court Could Exercise
More Despotic Power.
LETTER TO SENATOR P. C. KNOX
Demands That Mr.. Bryan Say Plain
ly Where He Stands on In
junction Issue.

Does Mr. Bryan agree with Mr..
Gompers that all existing legal re-
straint on the enforcement of every
degree of the boycott should be
withdrawn; that the industrial ex-
communication of the innocent
merchant who refuses to render
unquestioned obedience to the Or
ders of Mr. Gompers should be le-
galized and encouraged; or does he
believe, with us and with Mr..
Mitchell and other labor leaders
who differ with Mr.. GomperS in
this matter, that this form of the
boycott is morally wrong; that Ia
Dor at war should fight with its.
enemies and respect the rights Of
neutrals; that innocent third par
ties should not be coerced into
taking sides in industrial disputes
to which they are in no sense par
ties. under penalty of having their
business attacked and destroyed?
MIR. Taft is perfectly definite on
this proposition.
Where does Mr.. Bryan stand?
NO court could possibly exercise
any more brutal. unfeeling or des-
potic power than Mr.. Gompers
claims for himself and his follow
ers in this legislation, which would
permit them without let or him
drance of any kind to carry on
every form and degree of the sec
Ondary boycott"

10000 Motions in a Days Work.
From the New York World.

Ao,OOO mouons In lays OK.
From the New York World.
Before each Of a row of machines in a
certain Pittsburg shop, as described in
the current Charities, sits q girl. Each
girl picks up a bolt with her left hand,
takes 1t from the left with the right
hand. feeds 1t point downward into the
machine. When she has done this 10000
times she will have earned ninety-six
cents. Unless she or the machine breaks
down such is her ten-hOur day.
In these machine-made days II is not
the monotony of such a task which is
most impressive. The girl of the sixteen
thousand motions attracts and holds the
attention.
With motions fewer in number but in
finitely greater in variety the days work
Of a family is done. The houseworker
is not tied to a machine. She stands up
to her tasks one moment and sits down
the next She may think of other things.
and tomorrow will be in it's duties and
performances a little different from today.
The houseworker gets tired. Is it
really the same grinding. breaking weari-
ness as that Of the girl who sits before the
machine and makes 1900 identical mo-
tons in a ten-hour day? This is a fair
question in Pittsburg. Perhaps it is a
pertinent one in this larger city. where
thousands of young women choose the
routine of the factories in preference to
the life Of varied tasks offered in WELL
ordered households. The chief difference
when the case comes to New York seems
to be in the kind of machine that does
the grinding.

both vicious and chimerical, to which
Messrs. Bryan and Gompers are COM

the highest degree detrimental to the in

be performed, and what as a matter of
fact could not be performed. I believe
both in the patriotism and the intelli-

men, of America. Therefore I do not
believe that they can be misled to their

Proposed Remedy q Sham.
But there Is another account against
Messrs. Bryan and Gompers in this mat
ter. Ephraim feedeth on wind. Their
proposed remedy is an empty sham:
They are seeking to delude their follow
ers by the promise Of law which would
damage this country solely because of the
vicious moral purpose that would be
shown by putting 1t upon the statute
books, but which would be utterly worth
less to accomplish its avowed purpose.
have not the slightest doubt that such
law as that proposed by Mr.. Bryan
would II enacted by Congress. be de-
clared unconstitutional by unanimous
Supreme Court-unless indeed Mr.. Bryan
were able to pack this court with men
appointed for the special purpose Of
declaring such a law constitutional I
happen to know that certain great trust
magnates have announced within the past
to why they were openly or secretly
favoring the election of Mr.. Bryan. that
the law that Mr.. Bryan proposed. in
GLIDING especially this law, would be
wholly ineffective, because the court
would undoubtedly throw them out and
that the promises to enact them could
therefore be safely disregarded.
''Sound Common Sense
On July last the special counsel to
the Central Association OF Building
Trades Of New York, Mr.. Edward j.
Gavegan. submitted to that association
an opinion in the matter of injunctions,
an opinion which was officially Endorsed
and approved the same day by the Gen.
trail Association of Building Trades of
New York In this opinion, dis
cussing proposals to do away with or
modify the power of issuing injunctions
in industrial disputes. Mr.. Gavegan said
that the proposal to favor defendants in
industrial disputes above all others would
be class legislation and in the nature of
special privilege. Special privilege is the
bane Of the workingman. Special privi-
lege is what creates powerful special in
terests. What the wage-earner wants
and all he wants is equality before the
law. It Is playing into the hands
Of the special interests to enact laws
which are certain of annulment by the
courts, even when they are intended in
good faith for the betterment of the
workingman. The special interests would
rather see q thousand favorable but I'M
enforceable new laws enacted for the
wage-earner than to have him learn the
full power Of a single existing remedy.
The remedies SO far suggested and made
public cannot in the very nature Of our
system furnish any needed relief.
Labor representatives should concentrate
and use their influence for the enactment

something more before I leave Office: and

his promise to do wrong is given knowing
that it is wrong or because of levity
and lack of consideration which make
him willing to promise anything without
counting the cost if thereby support at

dangers, seemed TO have earn
Ell an approving smile from the tickle
goddess. A slight but perceptible veer-

creasing power of the suns rays,
swept the ocean clear of its storm
wraiths. Soon after passing the pillar

alongside changed their Ieaden hue to

the ocean carpet spread an ever widen
ing circle until it merged into vivid
green. Then, with startling sudden
ness, the curtain was drawn aside on
panorama at once magnificent and
amazing.
Almost without warning the ship
was found to be entering the estuary
Of a narrow ford. Gaunt headlands
carved on a titanie scale out of the solid
rock guarded the entrance and already
shut out the more distant coast line.
