the statutes OF procedure in the federal
courts with respect to the use of the
writ OF Injunction as will, on the one
hand. prevent the summary issue of such
orders without proper consideration and
on the other, will preserve undiminished
the power of the courts torEnforce their
proc IS, to the end that justice may be
done at all times and to all parties.
The plank requested by Mr.. Gompers
was wOrded as follows:
We pledge ourselves to the enactment
OF law to prohibit the issuance OF in
functions in cases arising out of labor
disputes when Such injunctions would
not apply when no labor disputes ex-
listed and that In no case shall an injunc-
ton be issued when there exists a rem
edy by the ordinary process of law, and
which act shall provide that In the pro-
cedure for the punishment OF contempt
of court the party cited for contempt
shall. when such contempt was not COM
mittcd in the presence of the court, be
entitled to trial by jury.
The plank finally accepted and
made Il part Of the platform reads
The Republican party will uphold at all
times the authority and integrity of the
courts state and federal. and will ever
insist that their powers to enforce their
processes and TO protect life. liberty and
property shall be preserved inviolate. We
believe. however, that the rule of pro-
ccdure In the federal courts with respect
10 the writ Of injunction should be more
accurately defined by statute and that no
injunction or temporary restraining order
should be issued without notice except
irreparable injury would result from de-
ann ha.sap nj
thereafter should be granted
Opposition TO the plank at first pro
posed was started by memorial to

Nicholas Murray Butler of Columbia

that the platform contain nothing
which could he construed as an at
tempt to weaken the federal courts
