VIEWS OF
LABORITES
On Anti-1njunction Plank of Re-
publican Platform--Is a Farci-
cal StraddIe.

want to say to you that we, the
American Federation Of Labor,
are not satisfied with the anti-in-
junction plank in the Republican
platform. -
This statement was made by
Samuel Gompers, President of the
A merlcan Federation Of Labor.
81 give my views in an editorial
written for the July number of the
American Federationist. Labor
he continued, "cannot be satisfied
with any makeshift. Hallway
promises mean nothing.n What +
say in that editorial are my views
and the views of labor organi-
zations as to this Republican plat
form"
In his editorial Mr.. Gompers
will say:
''The psychological moment has
arrived for a total change of
Governmental policy toward the
workers.
"No one can expect that the
toilers will complacently accept
the conception that they are
servile class and will submit to
treatment at the hands of society
less favorable than is accorded to
citizeps in other walks of life.
'There is impending a great
campaign-a campaign and cleo
tion for members of Congress as
well as the Presidency of the
United States and other executive,
legislative and judicial officers.
ono man aspiring to any of
these positions can evade his re-
sponsibility in this crucial hour.
The workers have pleaded,
have appealed and besought the
powers responsible, but all in vain.
Labor will take, no fair-weather
promises as substitute for per
formances.
Will Not Support Taft.
Chicago leaders of union labor
declared after the Republican
National Convention was over that
the organized, workingmen of the
country would not support Taft.
They said he was still the original
injunction Judge; that he had not
changed his opinions on the ques-
tion of the relation OF the courts to
struggle between capital and labor,
and that the anti-injunction plank
in the Republican platform was
a makeshift measure intended to
deceive and hoodwink the laboring
| man.
Taft is not acceptable to the
workingman," said E. N. Knock
els, Secretary of the Chicago Fed
GRAFTON of Labor
Bookbinders' President Talks.
"Organized labor throughout the
United States will bitterly oppose
Taft and Sherman said Robert
Glockling, OF New York, President
of the International Brotherhood
of Book binders, who arrived in
New Orleans Saturday, on a tour
among local unions.
GIVE consider Taft the father OF
the injunction, and nothing will
prevent the members of labor
unions from voting solidly against
the Republican ticket. Organized
labor will see to it that Taft meets
his Waterloo in November

WRITES TO JUDGE COOK
Urges That The Investiga-
ton be as Searching as
Possible.

! Frankfort, KY, Jan. 2-Gov.
Wilson to-day addressed a letter to
Circuit Judge Thomas 2. Cook at
Hopkinsville. in which he expressed
the belief that Judge Cook would do
his duty during the present term Of
court faithfully and usefully, not
withstanding the fact that the duty,
would be an unpleasant one under
the existing circumstances. The
Governor assured Judge Cook that
he gave no credit to the thoughtless
talk being indulged in by some that
the officials of the court would not
do their full duty in the investiga-
tion of the raid on Hopkinsville.
He said there was no doubt tnat
several hundred men were guilty Of
a felony under the Kuklux act and
Of conspiracy to commit arson and
of shooting with intent to kill. He
said the act was a calamity to the
state, district and to Christian coun-
ty, the full extent of which will not
be counted for years to come. He
said that the crime admitted of no
defense and would not admit of any
hesitation of the authorities to con-
denim it.
Gov. Wilson pleaded with Judge
Cook for the most earnest, serious
and unyielding effort on the part of
himself and the Commemorative s
Attorney for the apprehension and
indictment Of the guilty, but asked
for an absolutely fair and impartial
investigation of everyone on trial.
The Governor further assured Judge
Cook that he had done all he could
do to uphold the law and sustain the
court, and that he would continue
to do so, but that, on the other hand,
he would be faithful to bis duty in
the consideration of the condition of
the investig alton.

PROPERTY OWNERS WILL
NOW BE PROSECUTED

AT the meeting of the Ministerial
Union yesterday forenoon at Central
Union church, Sheriff Iaukea presented
his plan for prosecuting the owners Of
property used for immoral purposes, as
the best way to suppress the evil as
it exists at Iwilei, and asked for the
support of the union. This was given
by the adoption of a resolution pledg-
ing it to him, offered by DR.. Doremus
Scudder, pastor of Central Union
church.
In presenting the matter, Sheriff
Iaukea said:
q find that arresting the women
who live at Iwilei does no good, az
they are advised after getting out that
they should go back, and I have come
to the conclusion that it is time that
some action is taken against the own-
ers and agents of the property at Iwi-
lei and other parts of the city where
these women live, but before doing this
[ want you all to think very seriously
about it, as it will involve the most
prominent men in this community, who
are either directly or indirectly own
ers of property which is being used for
this unlawful business.
81 am ready with the evidence TO
proceed against every owner of such
property, and I viii have no respect
for persons, it it is your desire. You
have started this crusade against the
evil, and it is for you to say if / shall
go ahead, because possibly you may
not want some member of this union
drawn into court as an owner of such
property, but if / start l will not think
of people.
~ will notify the owners first Sy
letter that they are allowing their
houses to be used as places for prosti-
tuition, and then, if they still refuse to
drive the tenants out, it is for you to
say if I shall bring suit directly
against them

WH|TEHOUSEaa WINS
SUPREME COURT CASE

An employer is not responsible for
injury to a laborer resulting from the
negligence of fellow employee.
The Supreme Court yesterday reaf-
firmed this old common law doctrine in
the suit of Catalina Mejea against l..
NJ. Whitehouse.
Meiea was working on the Nuuanu
dam. In excavating a perpendicular
bank of earth it caved in and fell ON
him rendering him unconscious for
time, breaking his thigh and inflieting
other injuries.
He sued for damages alleging that
the cause Of the accident was the
neglect Of the plaintiff to take preeau-
tions against such a happening. 1t was
shown that the neglect, if any, was
that of the foreman temporarily in
charge of this particular work. The
court holds that such a foreman is n
fellow employee and that the employer
is not responsible for what he does.

GROWING CHINESE MAT
RUSH OFFERS INDUCEMENTS

present time lies idle. 1t will grow
anywhere that tule viii, and its com
mercial value, based on a fve-foot
stalk, runs from $40 to $25 a ton.
The yield per acre in Hawaii, accord
ing to the experiments made, is from
1900 pounds of dried rush to 5000
pounds, according to the length Of the
stalk, while one beauty about its cul-
tivation is that care pays in two ways
the longer the stalk the greater the
tonnage and the higher the price per
ton.
The weaving of mating from the Chi
nese rush, the scientific name for which
is Cyperus tegetiformis, is a simple art,
and something that requires no very
elaborate machinery, while the market
for the mating is a large one. Even
in supplying the home demand in Ha-
wall for this rush mating there is a
good field for a small industry.

Director Wilcox of the Federal Elk
pertinent Station, although he has been
here but short while, has already made
up his mind that there is one industry
awaiting development which has so far
been overlooked by the public This is
the growing of Chinese mat rush and
the weaving up of the product in the
Islands for export.
A sample of this growth. which was
grown experimentally at the station. is
now on exhibition in the rooms of the
Promotion Committee. 1t is split and
cured ready for weaving The rush
shown is over four feet long, and is
pliable and Of good color.
There is a big demand for the mat
tings made from this fiber in the United
States, and according to Director VII
cox it can be grown most successfully
in Hawaii, and in marsh land that is
too saline for rice and which at the

BERLIN, July s.-Renewed interest in
the trial here of Prince Philip zu Eulen-

nection with the round table, scandals
revealed a year ago, has been aroused
as a result of the publication of sensa-

were made during the taking of evidence
at the trial.
The streets surrounding the court build
ing are filled with people, and the police
have been strongly reinforced. They do
not permit the public to approach any Of

Special From a STAFF Correspondent.
DENVER, Col, July s-The District
delegates are in the biggest kind of a
row over the choice Of national commit
teemen.
The minority, with their two votes, are
trying to create dissension among the
majority and defeat Newman. The ma
jorty went ahead yesterday afternoon
and filed the committee assignments
without consulting the minority. They
put Kelley on credentials. Mattingly on
resolutions, Clayton as chairman Of the
delegation. De Nedrey, to notify the
President; Purcell to notify the Vice
President and Newman on permanent or
ganization.
Therefore Charles Darr went to the ma
jority and read tthe riot act. The ma
jority said that rather than recognize
the minority they would not send up any
names at all.
THAT will suit us down to the ground"
said Mr.. Dar. The majority then yield
ed at the suggestion Of Mr.. Newman.
who retired from the permanent organi-
zation committee and allowed the mi
nority to substitute Mr.. Allen.
The opponents Of the chairman for ma
tional committeeman are trying to de-
eide on candidate to center on from
among Capt. John 8. Miller. Sam De
Nedrey. John Purcell and Frederick Sid
dons. The contest will not be determined
until this evening.
