 Senator Long Talks.
 Senator Long of Kansas who made tbe motion during the first session to- day for the appointment of a sub-com- aaIttee to consist of thirteen members and who was the first member ap- pointed by Senator Hopkins, Chairman, said tonight in discussing the plat form:
 "I am going to do everything possi- ble in the Committee to make the plat form in line with Roosevelt and Taft and especially as shown by the letter in his speeches preceding this conven- ton. I do not expect we shall make a platform satisfactory to the extremists on either side. but do believe 1t will he satisfactory to the great body of Republicans"
 Senator Long had particular refer ence to the much discussed injunction question. He stated 1t was his belief that this plank would merely declare against summary action by courts. without recommending anything that would lessen the dignity and preroga- ti0es of the courts as established by long practice.
 Senator Long continued:
 q do not believe the gravity of this platform fight is appreciated. It is simply question of whether the plat form will be along well known admin istnation lines or whether 1t will be the platform of the allies"
 Sop to Labor Unions.
 Washing ton, June 1s.--(Special.)- )-It lB Iedrneu nSfe on the nlEf1SL huLnOr- ity that President Roosevelt and Secre- tary Taft have instructed the adminis- tration managers at Chicago to insist upon an anti-injunction plank in the platform to be adopted by the conven- ton.
 Roosevelt could not induce Congress to pass legislation of this character and in order to throw a sop to the la bor organizations. he is doing his at. most to. have the convention promise Gompers and his followers that the ad. ministration will do all in it's power tc bring Congress to terms later on.
