Strife in Committee.

Denver, July 9--After reachino -
agreement on the plank on iniunc,;a a..
and announcing the fact, the suh.cosa
mittee OF the Subcommittee on platform
having the subject in charge, last night
failed to supply the full sub-commttes
with the document and thus caused
suspension of the entire PROCEEDINGS -,
that question. Not only did the sub
committee fail to present its report h.,
up to IL o'clock neither Mr.. Williams
nor Mr.. Sullivan, of the sub-committes
had put in an appearance at the fd
subcommittee meeting.
During the evening there was much
discussion by labor leaders of tbe Il
junction plank, and while it was Assert
ed that the officers of the Federation ~
Labor were satisfied with the miami
other official representatives of labor
make loud protests against the omission
of the provision demanding notice in
advance in injunction proceedings
At midnight it was announced that
the full subcommittee had passed unon
all but three or four subjects to he
dealt with and members of the sub
committee expressed full confidence that
the subcommittee would be able to pre-
sent a complete report when the full
committee meets at A. M. TODAY Az
IL 80 the Subcommittee adjourned un-
til $3.50 A. M. today.
The subcommittee appointed to draft
an injunction plank reported a few min
utes before the committee took recess
at o'clock, stating through Mr.. VIII
liams, its chairman, that the three men,
bers-himself, Judge Parker and Mr.
Sullivan-had reached complete agree
ment. He also made the announcement
that the plank had been scrutinized by
the officers of the Federation of Labor
and was acceptable to them.
The plank as thus recommended takes
position favorable to the placing Of
labor disputes on level with other dis
putes and against the courts regarding
laborers differently from other classes
of citizens. There is no requirement
| for notice previous to an injunction
proceeding, because Mr. Gompers had
said that none would be demanded. pro-
viding there could be cessation of dis
elimination against the labor element.
| At 10 o'clock the full committee met
with the main subcommittee on plat
FORM but as the latter was unprepared
to report, adjourned The sub-commit-
tee adopted the following:
"The professional growth of Nation
al forests, the protection of timber on
forested areas of the public domain out
side the timber reserves; the encourage
ment of reforestration throughout the
country; the immediate elimination OF
agricultural lands from the forest res
ervations; the control of the timber re-
| serves by laws insuring equal rights to
all in place of the bureaucratic rules
and regulations that have led to sys-
tenn of favoritism and terrorism obnox-
ious to American institutions; the an
nulment of all rules that attempt to in
terfere with the police regulations Of
the states; greater encouragement to
settle the public domain by homeseek-
ers, and a system of selling timber from
the National forests, which will not put
the public at the mercy of the lumber
trusts"
