Trend of the Times,

ITChQ VI TIC inlcS.
The trend of the decisions of the
courts" said Mr.. Gompers, has been
TO take away from the workingman
the principle of effective defense
against entertainments or imposition
OF onerous conditions. The climax
was reached when the supreme court
handed down its decision in what are
known as the Hat cases Under that
decision it has made organizations
combinations and conspiracies in res
traint of trade. | do not know what
the courts will do and what executives
will do, gOaded on by our victorious
enemies, but | want to say to you, just
as solemnly as | can say, organiza-
tions of labor, which have done so
much to protect and improve the con-
ditions of the working people, will not
be driven out. You can not afford to
place the stigma of unlawfulness upon
the organizations which have done so
much within the law to improve the
condition of the working people"
over his signature an editorial in
the American Federationist for this
month attacks the recent decision of
States in the case of Loewe & Co..
popularity known as the Hat case"
which is declared to be the most
drastic and far-re aching decision
which it has ever handed down and
"as affecting directly all labor and
hence the whole people
Gompers Calls Halt.
The editorial begins with the state
ment that labor organizations must
not be outlawed," and then proceeds
at great length to review the courts
decision point by point with view
10 showing that the court erred. Says
Mr.. Gompers:
We trust it will not be considered
1ese majestic If We say that in our
opinion the supreme court in this and
other recent decisions affecting labor
tends to revert to the medieval pro-
cedure rather than TO make the appli-
cation of legal principle to the present
industrial situation.

boxes former
Wife FACES JURY

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Mrs. Alice l..
Webb, former wife of Brodie L.
Duke, the millionaire tobacco dealer,
sat CARRIED from head to foot in black
today in Judge Kersten's court while
a jury was selected to try her on
charge of defrauding the Great
Northern hotel out of $50 by means
of a worthless check.
Two colored men in the venire
were dismissed from service on the
jury at hint from Mrs. Webb to her
attorney that they might be preju-
diced against her because she is
southern woman.
Mrs. Webbs defense is that she did
not know the check was worthless.
The witnesses for the hotel COM
pany admitted that the check had
since been redeemed and the account
settled.
The case was given to the jury late
this afternoon, Judge Kersten of the
criminal court instructing the jurors
to bring in sealed verdict tomorrow
morning.

HE ARRAIGNS The
AMERICAN WOMEN.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1O.-Robert
Herrick's new novel, Together"
published today, is a terrible ar
raignment of the American society
woman. Herrick says:
"The flower of successful woman
hood-those who have bargained
shrewdly-are to be found overfed,
overdressed, sensualized, in great no.
tells, on mammoth steamers and lux
urious trains, rushing thither and
thitber on idle errands.
"They have lost their prime func-
tion-they will not or can not bear
children. They have sunk back to be
a mere female creature, possession
and a thing for lust and amusement;
cherished slave; for the death of a
woman's soul follows when she pays
this kind of tribute; the hordes who
crowd Castle Garden will inherit this
land when the white animal hunters
of the market and his pampered fe-
male are swept into the dust heap.
