DENVER, COL, July S.-After reach
ing an agreement on plank on the
question OF injunction and announc-

II o'clock, neither Mr.. Williams nor
Mr.. Sullivan had put In an appear

ling the evening thcre was much dis

Injunction plank. and while 1t was
asserted that the officers of the Fed
Grafton Of Labor were satisfied with
the plank. other representatives of
labor made loud protest against the
omission Of the provision demanding
notice in advance In injunction pro-
ceedings.
It was announced that the full sub

pressed confidence that the subcom-

by them in consultations.

upon which tho full subcommittee
found 1t necessary to pass. and these
Included the publicity Of can1paign n

DENVER. COL, July s.-Whether
Mr.. Bryan Wills 1t or not. the injunc-
ton plank Is the issue as Denver sees
It tonight. In 1900 Mr.. Bryan In
sisted on free silver plank. while de-
claring that Imperialism was the ts-
sue. The public declined to accept
this distinction. and the Democratic
party had again the burden OF free
silver. and was defeated. This year,
Z learn from very high sources, Mr..
Bryan has ostensibly declared for a
platform drawn by the committee on
resolutions without reference to his
personal views. The burden Is thus
shifted from his shoulders to that OF
the party, but the burden IL there, and
In word 1t Is. shalf-the Democratic
party abandon its fundamental prin-
ciple OF equal laws for all, and to gain
the labor vote write plank that
would, II enacted into law, make or
ganized labor class which enjoyed
special legal rights? AS yet the COM
mittee on resolutions Is wrestling with
that problem.
The New York platform specifically
calls for a law preventing the
issuance Of an injunction in any
case where one would not issue
X no labor dispute was involved.
Another plank suggested is thatsno In
functions be allowed in Industrial dis
putes. This again creates a class dis
tinction. AS to trial by juEy> Cover
nor Swanson made the .sWg gestion that
the language used be that no one
should be deprived OF his liberty with
out trial. New York's strong plank is
e 4 H
explainable either on the ground that
New York has big labor vote which
Tammany wants to placate. or. because.
as this correspondence has already sug-
gested. Tammany wants Bryan to hang
himself. This much emerges clearly
that Tammany is playing its own game
without regard to the rest OF tie coun-
try, and that all unbiased observers
agree that while proper limitation
may be placed on the issuance Of In
functions, yet class Legislation is a
load load the Democratic rart.- cannot
