sideration of the committee the sug- gestions rendered the resolution com mittee at the Chicago convention and asked that they be incorporated in the platform.
 Addressing the committee. in support of the resolution, Gompers spoke of his failure to secure recognition at Chicago: We asked for bread and we received a stone" he said. The repub- lican injunction declaration. he declar- ed to be an endorsement of the "exist- ing abuse of the law" He asked the democrats either to leave the subject entirely out of the platform or adopt a real remedy for the wrongs complained of. On the subject of injunctions Gompers said the laboring men merely asked to be regarded as equal: We do not asked for special privileges" he said, but merely for justice and equality We insist that the injunction be not made an instrument of oppres- sion" He contended that the law in Tits ordinary operation was sufficient to protect the public against the crimes of laboring people. Gompers said that If the democratic party would assist in fighting these two wrongs it would be possible for labor to stand with it Labor could afford to wait for other reforms suggested. If you do what we ask you will electrify our hearts" he said in conclusion, and we will be with you"
 James Duncan. first vice president of the American Federation of Labor, added weight and argument to the support of Gompers. H. R. Fuller, representing the brotherhood of lOco- motive firemen, engineers and train men, presented an argument for the identical injunction plank he laid be- fore the republican convention. The plank endorses the right of laborers to strike and persuade others to do so.
 At the conclusion of Fuller's re- marks Haskell called upon John Nit chell to address the committee. Nit chell said he had purposely refraintH from speaking because the question was one needing forceful impassion- ed discussion and his personal experi- ence was such as almost to preclude him from such an impassioned discus sion. While generally regarde6 as a law abiding citizen he at this moment was precluded from travelling in some states of the union. He could not go into some portions of West Virginia without conflicting with an order of the court. Mitchell declared himself a democrat and in a general way urg- ed the committee to prepare such platform as would receive the support of labor. At this point Haskell an nounced the appointment of the sub committee the number being 19 in- stead of IT.

THE NEW YORK ENIGMA.
1t Will Probably Be Settled in a cau-
 GUS Today

Denver, July 7.-The New York dele
 gation will hold a third caucus tomor-
 row afternoon at to reach the long delayed decision as to which candidate
 for the presidential nomination shall receive the big block of seventy eight votes from the Empire state. The caucus has been called by Charles F. Murphy. the leader of Tammany hall. chairman of the delegation. The ad- herents of Bryan still claim that New York will vote for the Nebraskan while the opposing force are hopeful
 that It's decision may help them in their efforts to block a nomination on the first ballot.
 Murphy maintains the same sphinx silence which has characterized his at- titude eyer since his arrival in Denver. It is said tonight that fourth caucus might be held after the nomination of
 presidential candidate to decide where the support of the state shall be thrown in the vice presidential con- test.

MIR. GomPER'S PLANK.
That Gentleman Presents it in a
 Strengthened Form.

Denver, July 7.-Immediately after being called to order at 5: 30 the plat form committee proceeded to carry out the wishes of Bryan, by declaring Governor Haskell of Oklahoma, per manent chairman. The committee then decided to entrust the details of the preparation of the; platform to a sub committee of seventeen members ap- pointed by the chair. but before these appointments were announced in full the committee listened to arguments in support of various blanks which were offered for adoption.
 The first hearing was on the sub ject of the improvement of inland wat erways. Governor Broward of Florida argued that liberal pronouncement in favor of the improvement of water courses in the interior would prove the means of obtaining many votes in such states as New York, Illinois and Ohio and therefore he urged the proposition as matter of practical politics.
 Richmond Pearson Hobson, congress man from Alabama, presented a plea for an increase of the navy and fin do- ing so, he declared that the country was in imminent danger of war with Japan. He predicted that war would take place during the presidential ad- ministration and believing that the democratic party would then be in power. said that if it did not make proper preparations by additions to the navy the party would be ground to powder. At the conclusion of Hob- sons address the committee took a, recess until B. 30 o'clock.
 After recess of two hours for din- ner the committee resumed its hear ings, taking up the labor question. Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, John Mitchell and other labor leaders were present. They presented for the con-

ice' in connection with the issuance of temporary injunctions. Gompers ,contended that he had argued against any use of preliminary injunctions in labor disputes.
 Stone of Missouri asked Gompers whether the original injunction plank purporting to have been drawn by President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft, but which the republican con- vention refused to adopt, would be satisfactory to labor.
 The American Federation of La bor not only does not want such a declaration, but would be opposed to it, was the reply of Gompers.
 Nor the plank the republicans adopted?" asked Stone.
 We are opposed to that" was the reply. Gompers was then questioned closely by many members of the committee to bring out specific cases wherein injunctiops would lie under the plank. The answers made indi- cated that none would lie against laborers

Muskogee, July 7-The sheriffs of Mcintosh and Omulgee lcounties went to Old Hickory Grounds, near Henri etta today to investigate an uprising of Snake Indians, and were driven away from the camp by thirty armed Indians and negroes. Before sending them away, Crazy Snake delivered a message defying. the laws of the state and the United States government. which he declares have no authority over the Indians. It. is probable that state troops will be sent to disperse the malcontents.
