Bryan Interested in Contempt Charges
 Against Labor Leader

fA&&A&A&A
 Fairview. Lincoln, Neb.. July si.--- The action of Justice Anderson of the Supreme Court of the District of Co., lumbia. In citing Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell and Frank Morrison to show cause why they should not be punished for contempt for alleged violation of an Injunction against the American Fed eration of Labor and It's officers in the Buck Stove and Range case, has ex- cited considerable gossip here.
 Mir. Bryan is taking the keenest in- terest in the matter but hs will make nc comment on it. The case is one coming directly within the public view of the plank of the Denver convention relating to contempt committed out side the presence of the court. and It Is believed will be seized upon by Mir Bryan as an illustration of the need for g law which will accord to the &C., eused trial by jury. Despite state ments to the contrary Mir. Bryan today announced that he did not contemplate going into Vermont on any speech making tour In the expectation of in- Aueneing the election in that State in September.

LABOR'S ASPIRATIONS.

the present time says the Fed
crationist.
Organization, through and com
plete, obtains among all the forces
OF wealth and corporate power.
Production is centralized and in
the control of the powerful few.
In thorough and compre-
henslvcly organized and federated
labor movement. united in aspir-
alton, principle, and fact, lies the
only hope Of the toilcrS to resist
the power, avarice. and tyranny
OF corporate wealth, and to safe
guard the rights and sure the in.
tere>ts and promote the well being
of the workcr>-the wealth pro
ducers.
The tollcrs can not expect that
their rights and interests will be
voluntarily conceded by the in
dustrlal powers that be. What.
ever improvements have come into
the life Of Americans workers
nave not been handed to them on
silver plattcr>. They have been
achieved as the result of iutclli-
gent, PERSISTENT. and self. sacrificing
organization and struggle on the
part Of the tOilcrs themselves.
Judging the present and the
II Inv I,.,v -.
oppression and improvement of
conditions will depend entirely
upon the workers themselves:
their better equipped and organ
lied efforts and the pclsistencv
with which their demands are
pressed home.
In view Of the present situation
III which the toilcrs find them
selves by reason of the large
number Of unemploycd-due to
artlticl;,lly created industrial stag

'Princes Of Einance''-court de.
cl>lonS designating labor unions us
trusts and the vicious abuse Of the
injunction power; the constant
effort Of the "Captains Of In
uustry' to take advantage Of The.
tollcrs and impose wage reductions:
aye, all the alcrtncSs and desire Of
labor's opponents to force the
tollers back and whit is the
all, important AMI imperative duty
OF labor more than ever to
thoroughly organize and solidiiy
its ranks.
In all the history Of the world
there has never been so great :,
unanlmitN in sentiment and pur.
pose among the tUilers of a com
mon lot and Il common heritage as
at this time, and this. too, whether
they are organized or unoryanized.
Despite the wilful misreprcsen
tatlon Of its opponents there is
neither desire nor purpose in the
organized labor movement Of our
country to Go i wrong or an in
Junction 70 any man man or set Of
men in all the world.
The toilcls are daily becoming
conscious of their rights and
urgently demand the advancement
III the worlds affairs which is
Justly theirs. They are move
grlmlN determined than ever before
to attain their rights this also
/ regardless of whether or not they
are union members. The union of
labor is the vehicle of successful
achievement. and this tact must be
. convincingly brought to the at
