REPUBLICAN MEMBERS HOLD
CAUCUS ON INJUNcTIONS
b. Associated Press.

b. Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, May 20.-The Re-
publican members of the house met in
conference tonight to determine what
should be the attitude of the majority
toward the enactment at this session
of legislation modifying the power of
the federal courts to issue inJunctions.
The conference failed to reach an
agreement and at IL p. m. adjourned
till tomorrow night.
1t is apparently foregone conclusion
that If the caucus agree on bill, 1t
will not exceed the scope of the Payne
bill, and the Republican leaders to-
night express grave doubt that any
measure will be passed at this session.
Nearly all of the so-called anti-in-
junction bills introduced at the present
session and now reposing in the jul
dietary committee unreported were
brought to the attention of the con-
ference tonight. and more than a
dozen amendments to them were ten
tatively offered.
The discussion provoked by these
proposals was free and at times spir-
tied, but no disputes resulted.
Representatives Little and Jenkins
argued against any change. Repre-
sentatives Hubbard of Iowa, Townsend
of Michigan, Madison of Kansas and
Sterling of Illinois took the opposite
SiuS III tuS QSOdtO.
Mr.. Littlefield of Maine took the
ground that there ought not to be
any change in existing laws with refer
ence to the issuing of injunctions. He
said that any attempt to restrain the
power Of the courts with reference to
the question of notice and hearing, or
as to time during which restraining
order should remain in effect would.
in his Judgment, be beyond the power
of cnogress. He said there was no &C.
casion for legislation on the ground
that the courts had abused the power
to issue writ of injunction; that the
official reports showed that during the
last five years only 1928 injunctions had
been issued, twenty of these being only
in labor cases, and five of those were
issued after notice and hearing. There
was nothing in the books, he said, to
show that the court in any instance
had exceeded or improperly exercised
it's power
He stated that within the last week
or so the American Federation of La
Dor had filed with him twenty-three
different injunctions covering a period
from, 1888 up to date. but had filed no
criticism in connection with any, and
that only one OF them appeared to
have been modified by the court--the
Elkins injunction. issued in 1898.

How Taft Mended His Trous-
ers Before Going to Call
on the Car.

William Allen White, the famous
Kansas editor and novelist. writes an
entertaining character sketch OF Taft
in the American Magazine. IL is
almost entirely about the man himself.
Here is one OF the numerous illumi-
mating stories told.
The next day Taft was in Russia
at the time) the same large man
slipped gently out of bed at g o'clock.
and CROPPED around In the dark OF the
murky morning looking for his
trousers. He did not make a light for
fear OF waking his wife. Prodding
quickly but softly through the dusk,
falling easily over the concealed furni-
ture OF the room, he was getting we'll
along toward a half-dressed stage
without waking his wife TO ask her
where things were packed-after the
fashion OF Americans OF his class
when in drawing on his trousers
his only pair of black trousers-his
Sunday trousers IL you must know the
truth. pressed and rather unfamiliar
he lost his balance and fell, sticking
one foot through trouser knee. A
man weighing 240 pounds can put con-
jab OF his toe when he tries TO catch
his balance with IT, and the hole
loomed up dark. gloomy and peculiar.
He couldn't bring himself to waken
his wife. He knew that she was tired
and needed the sleep. So he called
bell-boy and asked him to have the
trousers mended. They were his best
trousers, the only pair he had that
would go with his black clothes. and
he had TO ride two hours in sleigh
and meet by appointment at o'clock
the car OF all the Russias. There was
nothing TO do but to wait for the bell
boys return with the rended garment.
When the boy came he brought such
a botch job that the fat man grinned
and tackled ii himself But he was in
a hurry, and his hands were strong
and clumsy, and zip went second

looked at the hopeless wreck a mo-
ment and then rose, hunted for and

ton seems absurd.
But when we realize what an Amer
lean girl brought up in. luxury mlgh'
be led TO expect OF the man she mar
ried. and how incapable she might be
OF using his weekly stipend wisely. We
do not wonder that he hesitates.
IL all depends wholly and entirely
upon the order OF girl she may be.

ogre, rent, would make sad inroad
upon that income.
Ii is TO be hoped that the day is not
far off when a more just and sensible
and humane order OF things will ex-
list, which shall do away with this aw-
full and devastating question of rent.
God never intended human beings to
sell their very souls TO pay for the
air they breathe and the spot OF earth
they lie down upon. any more than He
intended the fish in the sea 10 pay for
the water they dwell In.
