The editorial of President Gompers is
supported by series Of articles in the
Federationist from the pens Of presidents
of national and international labor unions
j. w. Kline, president Of the Brotherhood
OF Blacksmiths and Helpers. says:
II cannot believe that the founders Of
Our government ever dreamed that the
people for whom they had suffered would
have to submit to the injustice that has
recently overtaken u.s."
He refers to the Supreme Court deci-

Should Enter Political Arena.
f. NJ. Ryan. president of the Bridge and
Structural Iron Workers Union. says:
The decision of the Supreme Court in
the Loewe case seems to be on the lines
of the famous Taff-Vale decision. The
trend of many recent court decisions, In
my opinion. makes 1t imperative that We
enter the political arena in the same per-

dustrial world. and the unjust laws Of
which we make complaint will soon be-

J. T. Carey. president of the paper
makers, etc, says:
THE courts ruling was that the or
ganization of hatters came within the

tho amount of injury done Loewe. This
decision is apparently against the Con-

D Domestic Club

Mrs. j. L. Sanderson very de-
lightfully entertained the members
of the Domestic Club, last Thurs
day afternoon from to 6. An
invitation to the hospltable Sand
erson home is always hailed with
great delight, as it carries with it
an assurance of a good, social time.
The club program was very fine
and included a paper by Mrs. Will
Brandt on the history of the Do
mestic Club, and a magazine read
ing by Mrs. w. Ell. Cowell, both of
which were much enjoyed by the
Club and guests. Responses to
roll call were "Quotations from
Washington. After the program
was concluded, Mrs. Ed. Tritsch,
Mrs. Will White and Miss Evelyn
Sanderson rendered some bea utiful
piano solos and Mrs. 0. w. Fl.
Wright and Mrs. Bruce Dollison
sang duet. At five O'Clock an
elegant three course dinner was
served. The tables were charm
ingly arranged, three in the rear
parlor and one in the dining room,
overlooking conservatory of
towering plants. The dinner was
served by Mrs. Sanderson's three
daughters, Mrs. Ed. Tritsch, Mrs.
Porter Waugh and Miss Evelyn
Sanderson, Those who enjoyed
the afternoon, other than the Club
were, Mesdames John Strawn, Chas.
Schwenke, Tillie Montgomery,

Junia Club

Always bright, always new, al
ways excellent in repartee, the
Junias again had session, full of
optimism, sophism and liberalism.
The meeting was Monday eve
ming at "The Ambrose" and they
banqueted and toasted in the
beautiful dining room of that
popular hostelry. The decora tions
were in yellow and blue. Nineteen
members of the club remembered
the date and the hour, and seven
teen guests also enjoyed the sallies
and the sauce.
After the seven course supper
(think of it, seven courses) was
served, those programmed were full
of plenty of good things and wit,
and the hearers had but to breathe
heavy and listen.
Mrs. II. F. Ambrose presided as
toast mistress, and as she ushered
each literati upon the stage of
response with litheness, she pleas
ingly applied the medicament,
REALISTICALLY showed them out on
the sea of oratory in their little
bark, to struggle alone.
The first subject roasted was,
