failed to supply the full subcommittee with the document and thus caused a suspension of the entire proceedings on that | nestion. Not only did the sub-com- mitte sfail to present it's report, but up to II ) o'clock neither Mir. Williams nor MT. ullivan of the subcommittee had putt l an appearance at the committee mes hg During the evening there was mu h discussion by the labor leaders of the injunction plank, and while it was asserted that the officers of the federa- ton of labor were satisfied with the plank other representatives of labor made loud protest against the omission of the provision demanding notice in ad- vance in injunction proceedings
 At that hour it was announced that the full ub-committee had passed upon all but three or four subjects to be dealt with and members of the sub-commit- tee expressed full confidence that the sub committee would be able to present complete report when tne full committee meets at g a. m.
 Agreement Reached.
 The subcommittee appointed to draft Tn injunction plank few minutes before the committee took a recess at o'clock stated through MT. Williams, it's chair man. that the three members, himself. Judge Parker and Mr. Sullivan, had reached a complete agreement He also made the announcement that the plank had been scrutinized by the officers of she federation of labor and was accept p1a nly mended takes position favorable to the placing of labor disputes on level with other disputes and against the courts re- garding laborers differently from other classes of citizens. There is no require ment for notice previous to an injunction proceeding, because Mir. Gompers had said that none would be demanded pro- viding there could be a cessa lion of dis crimination against the labor element.
 At Il 80 D. m. the subcommittee ad- journed until a. m. tomorrow.
 After being in session most of last night the working subcommittee of the demo- cratic convention committee on resolu- tions resumed it's sittings at an early hour today, but at p. m. took a recess until o'clock tonight i was reported that members of the committee had re- 
 in the convention hall. It had been the expectation of the subcommittee that it would be prepared to report to the full committee at o'clock this afternoon, but when that hour arrived the work of the subcommittee was still so incomplete that it was necessary for the full commih tee to take an adjournment until 10 o'clock tonight, with the prospect that upon meeting at that hour it would be again necessary to adjourn until tomor- row morning.
 Questions Discussed.
 The subcommittee spent the frs. half of the day in discussing questions of MT. Bryan and others relative to blanks in the platform, but shortly after noon de- cided that in order to make progress it would be necessary to divide the work and consequently subcommittee of the subcommittee were appointed on various subjects, including injunctions, trusts, railroads, resources of the country, tariff, etc.
 These minor sub-committees consisted in all cases of three members, and the Remainder of the day was spent largely hy them in consultation over the various Subjects. There were, however, some questions upon which the full sub-commit- rec found 1t possible to pass, and these in : cluded the publilcty of campaign contri- bution relative to which strong plank was adopted.
 The committee also adopted various ether suggestions among them being blanks demanding the enactment of an income tax law, providing for the restric- tion of Oriental Immigration, denouncing what the committee termed President Roosevelts "perpetuation of his dynasty" etc.
 Draft of Plank.
 The injunction subcommittee was the first to be appointed and its members were tusly occupied during the day. This sub- committee consisted of Messrs. Williams of Massachusetts, Parker of New York and Sullivan of Iowa. It's deliberations were based upon a draft of tine proposed plank made by MT. Williams, which, while found to be generally acceptable, . was very closely scrutinized not only by the conservative members of the com- nittee, including Judge Parker, but by the labor leaders as well. MT. Williams was in consultation during the greater part of the day with the labor men, who appeared extremely anxious that not only line substance but the particular language kof the resolution should be such as woul1 satsfy the voters who are claimed to be behind them. Owing to the care whicl 1t was found necessary to give to this blank 1t was still under consideration by re subcommittee when a recess was ~, for dinner.
 j subcommittee on tariff found less

 lttee consisted of Messrs. Pettigrew
 1th Dakota, Brown of Nebraska and " 4ler of Illinois, and 1t reported to the ~-Aib- committee by o'clock. That
