As the smoke from the tunnels of the

Sydney and New South Wales turned
regretfully back TO what for the next

The sea fighters steamed majestically
away IN single file, headed by the Con-
necticut and cheered by the crowds that
blaekened the shores and hills. Thou
sands OF sailors answered the cheers and
salutes from the decks Of the ships,
and the leave taking in every way was
such as to put the final seal on the new
formed friendship between the Occident
and the antipodes.

fleet hopes to reach Melbourne near
noon on Saturday. The sailors viii try

Most serious judicial Invasion and
usurpation Of individual liberty and
human freedom by the abuse Of the
writ OF injunction"
That was one of the features of the
history Of this country during the past
year, according to President Samuel
GOmpers. OF the American Federation
Of Labor. Expressing his opinions edi-
torially in the current issue OF the
American Federationist." he adds:
AN attempt has been made by the
abuse Of the writ Of injunction to deny
and prohibit the freedom OF speech and
the freedom of the press, and men have
been cited 10 show cause why they shall
not be punished purely for the exercise
of the right of free press and free
speech, ghts whish are not only natural
and inherent in themselves. but guaran-
teed by the Constitution Of our coun-
try. and which our forefathers fought
to establish, and which d free people
never dreamed would be placed in
jeopardy"
Not All Criticism.
Mr. Gompers does not hold his edi-
torial entirely 20 criticism, however, for
he declares that despite the unpleasant
features there is much cause for gratifi-
cation, for never before in the history Of
the people of our country has there been
such a spirit OF fraternity and solidarity
among the toilers. such a determination
to stand by one another and by the
organizations OF labor which have done
so much to bring sunshine and hope into
the lives of the tOilers
1t is a Labor Day editorial. dedicated
to the ''Toilers of our country" Mr..
Gompers writes that he has found much
upon which TO ponder seriously and
much tc encourage all to still greater
efforts in behalf of the great principles
