"The closing days of Congress have
presented anew a spectacle in a demand
for the repeal of the injunction laws
and for the creation and passage of the
most vicious of class legislation. We
can excuse a certain percentage of the
members for their bowling TO popular
clamor because Of their dense ignorance
of the meaning of the majority of the
measures before them.
But there are leaders there who
should know what is going on and
simply evade the issue because they are
afraid to take a decided stand. These
men we should condemn in unmea J.
ured terms. And this association must
stand as a unit opposed to any anti
injunction law that prefers labor or
ganizations"
The following telegram from Senator
Beverldge of Indiana, was enthusiastic =
cally received:
"The fight for honest tariff is max
ing good progress"
The convention also listened TO the
reading of a number of papers on tech
nical subjects and adopted resolutions
opposing the repeal OF the nationa,
bankruptcy act OF 1898 or the pure food
law.

said, will call upon every Republican

a local option law for Wilmington and
rural New Castle county. and it is said
bv one of the most active temperance
