Denver, July THE New York delega-

prepared by it's subcommittee. in which
they declare among other things for a
parcels post. postal savings banks. publi-
cation of campaign expenditures and a
modification of the Sherman antitrust
law so as TO guarantee to the wage earn
ers. asriculturists and horticulturists of
the country the right of organized effort

for equal rights 10 all and special privi-

The platform also embodies substantial

the American Federation of Labor. and is
as follows:
Anti-Injunction Plank.
I'VE insist most strongly that the courts
must be maintained and upheld in every
way. within the province assigned to
them by the constitution of our country.
Neither the executive nor legislative
branch of government should be permitted
in the slightest degree to invade or in
terfere with that part of the work OF gov
eminent assigned to the courts. but be-
cause of the way in which some judges
have acted in cases where contempts &C.
curing outside the view of the court. are
alleged to have been committed. we
pledge ourselves we have done in three
prior national platforms to the end that
public confidence in the courts may be
continued and strengthened to the enact
ment of law forbidding the issuance OF
| injunctiOns in any cases in Wnlcn an IN
| junction would not issue If no labor dis
| putes were involved, and providing tha'
no Injunction shall be Issued when there
| is an adequate remedy at law Such en-
| actment shall also provide that in the pro-
cedure for the punishment of any con-
| tempt of court, not committed in the act

THE Mormons are disfranchising them
selves. IL is the criminal tearing pun

front of this fight for the regular De-

the Normons had disobeyed the laws of
God and therefore they would not SIT IN

indignant contestants were restrained. A

champion and had to content himself with squeezing Gotch's wrists and oc- casfonally getting a grip around the Iowa mans biceps and digging his thumbs in good and hard.
 Tt is my opinion that Hacke1- schmidt was completely exhausted when he got up off the floor alter two hours of pulling and hauling and announced that he resigned the cham pionship of the world to Gotch. He didn't appear to be tired, but the grueling that he had received, some thing entirely unexpected, was rOo much for him.
 "It is doubtful if Hackenschmidt was ever held in such a cramped up. uncomfortable position for such long time in his entire wrestling ca reeT. Gotch kept the Germans head pulled down low. constantly tugging at the back of the neck and varying the attacks with grips under the chin and across the bride of the nose.
 "The powerful Lion complained several times that Gotch was jabbing his thumb in his eve. He complained of other things, too, but I did not consider that Gtch's transgressiUus were worthy Of more than a caution. did not see that he did his broad op- ponent any harm at all and the bull ing was nothing more than is custo- mary fin any match seen in this coun- try. especially where the affair is of any importance.
 "Gotca is a past master of all the little trickery that verges ca the H. legal and unfair, but his work in uhIs line I consider to have no bearings at all in iacapacitating the Lion It might have brought cut the bad streak that Gotch was so sure was in his opponent, but beyond that 1t did ! not affect Hack in any physical sense
