LONDON, Oct 22.-Warfare be-

govina has been IN progress ten days
according to a Montenegrian agent ar
irving today, who is here investigat-

warfare is raging in the mountains OF
the annexed provinces, since Austrias

situation is so dangerous that Austria

That plank reads as follows
Plank Has Empty

This is the plank that .somises the
remedy against injunctions which
Mr.. Gompers asked of Mr.. Bryans
party. In actual fact it means abso-
lutely nothing; no change of the law
could be based on it; no man with
out inside knowledge could foretell
what its meaning would turn out to
this for no man could foretell how any
judge would decide in any given case
as the plan apparently leaves each
judge free to say when he issues an
injunction in labor case whether or
not 1t is a case in which an iniunc-
tion would issue If labor were not in
volved. Yet this plank is apparently
perfectly clea. to Mr.. Gompers, and
in his letter to his followers he indi-
Gates beyond question just what he
understands it to mean. He asserts
that he has the requisite inside knowl-
edge. His statement that Mr.. Bryan's
party (for 1t was Mr.. Bryan who die
tated the platform) Pledged itself to
those remedies which labor had al
ready submitted to congress" is a per-
fectly clear and definite statement.

American Federation of Labor has so
declared itself that 1t must insist upon

could, the position of labor-that we
