LABOR LEADERS PLANNING
MIGHTY DEMONSTRATION
One Million Men Expected to Take
Part in Meetings to Protest
Against Recent De-
clslons
BY Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 13.-The repre-
sentatiVes of the American Federation
of Labor have announced that besides
the mass meeting in Grand Central
palace here next Sunday, to protest
against the labor decisions of the
United States supreme court and to
demand that congress pass the labor
amendment to the Sherman antitrust
law, mass meetings of similar charac-
ter have been called in every part of
the country.
Many of these meetings will be held
on Sunday and some on Monday, and
they estimate that an aggregate of over
1000, 900 of workingmen will attend the
meetings.
The labor amendment eXempts labor
from the provisions of the law provid-
ing for restraint in competition.
J., w. Robinson, representatives of
Mr.. Gompers in the east, said: THE
meetings will not be so much meetings
of protest as to demand remedial legis-
lation. Probably at no time in the his
tory of organized labor in the United
States have so many mass meetings
been held simultaneously as will be held
next Sunday and Monday. The matter
is of vital Importance, not only on ac-
count of the wording of the courts de-
cision, but on account of the interpre-
tations that can be put on the de-
cisions. They can be construed so as
to make it impossible for unions to en-
force their demands
