CHICAGO. June IL. - Republican
leaders are worried over the at.
titude assumed by the labor vote
President Gompers and his following
have a definite demand and will make
1t. They want an absolute anti
injunction plank In the platform.
There are those In the party that will
fight 1t. The laboring interests will
fight until the last gasp to put this
plank In and then IL they fail there
will be trouble for Republicans. This
Is what worries those interested In the
success Of the party
President Gompers has his plan Of
war mapped out In this wise:

fuses to adopt the anti-injunctIon
for labor platform Il will be toted
out to Denver and an attempt
made to nail Il into the Demo-
cratic platform. II that 10 sue

wise person to see that the labor.
Ing interests would not work for
the election Of the Republican
nominee for president.

trouble. II the party does adopt the
anu-injunction platform II will arouse
the ire Of the National Manufacturers
association. President James r. Van
