proper consideration should be given

are urging Speaker Cam on to consent
to committe report on an Injunction
bill: The bill they passed Is
that introduced BY Mr.. Hubbard,
which meets with the approval OF all
conservative labor leaders and EN-
ployers OF labor. Mr.. Hubbard's bill
provides that no restraining order or
temporary in junction shall be granted
without reasonable notice and after
hearings. except that In cases
where it is made to appear that great
and trreparable injury would be caused
by delay pending a hearing that a
restraining order can be had upon the
application for temporary I'M junction.
No restraining order issued without
notice, however, shall be continued
in force more than five days after its
issuance. A companion bill introduced
by Mr.. Hubbard provides that upon re-
quest OF the defendant contempt
case may be heard by Judge other
than the one Issuing the Injunction.
Numerous Injunction bills have been
introduced, and the fact that Mr.. Hub.
bard's were selected from among this
large number Is more than an ordl-
nary compliment because in import
ant matters OF this nature the efforts
OF first-timers are generally ignored.

Pinn1ng Him Down.

An eastern Democratic journal that
has been In active opposition to the
nomination OF Bryan. takes UP his
answer to the question recently put
to him about government and state
ownership Of railroads and literally
fiays him. Mr.. Bryan is reported to
have said that 1t was not pressing
issue and he added, Il do not intenn
that It shall be a leading issue" This
statement, says his Democratic critic,
cannot wave aside his record on the
question. nor can 1t deceive the people.
1t is hardly necessary to go into
his record ut length on this subject.
The most convincing testimony will
be found in the remarks he made at
Madison Square Garden, on his re-
turn from his tour Of the world. when
1t was supposed his spirit had been
chastendetl and his radicalfsn sub.
duel. On that occasion he said: a

Will be no permanent relief on the

That was what drove conservative
Democrats away from him. who are
still staying away from him, and will
forever be opposed to his nomination
