EMPLOYERS In ARMS
FIGHT TRIAL By JURY.
Organizations Oppose Plank Il
Democratic Platform.

Organizations Of employers throughout the coun-
try are up in arms according to their representa-
here against the following clause In the labor
plank of the Democratic platform:
Experience has proven the necessity of the rnodi-
f1cetion of the present law relating to nunctions
and reiterate the pledge of our national plat
which passed the United States Senate in 1896 but
which a Republican Congress has ever since re-
courts and providing for trial by jury in cases of
indirect contempt.
It decided by number of employers asso-
Citations to cooperate with the National Association
of Manufacturers in opposing this measure when
it is brought up again at the opening of Congress.
1t is not what President Gonpers, Of the Ameri-
Federation of Labor wanted, but Is regarded
by the employers highly mchievous and men
to the authority of the federal of equity
On behalf Of the National Erectors' Association
which has had trouble with the union In q number
Of cities Commissioner Walter Drew said last
night
Though the trial by jury measure was not IA
vored by Gompers, who wants to make picketing
and the boycott legal, it is a most mschievous
measure. When the platform says trial by jury
it Is making use of old catchwerd that the
working people may jump at. The federal courts
of equity have the inherent power to maintain
their own dignity. The minute you say that
such a court cannot punish for contempt of its
decree, but that the matter must go before
g, jury, you weaken the power of the judiciary
There are times when conditions in a neigh
borhood may create wave of popular sentiment
which makes II difficult to get unbiased verdict
Take for instance the strike at Chester Penn. the
Moyer-Haywood trials and similar cases While
do not believe jury in such cases would willing
ly render a verdict that in its belief in
accordance with the evidence. members of the fury
are liable to be swayed by the popular sentiment
Of the vicinity in such cases There are many times
when this wave Of sentiment sweeps all before Il
and takes the place of cool Judgment
IF the federal courts cannot punish contempt
Of their decrees they placed at the mercy of
public clamor. This would rob the court Of its
power to maintain its authority and dignity The
Judges of the federal courts hold Office for life
and they have not to bow TO any state of public
feeling at any time. a state Judge who wants
to be reelected may sometimes do"

Strikers Resort to Violence And Federal Court Issues
 Injunction

Seattle, July 2S-The longshore- mems strike has reached such state that Federal Judge Hanford has is- sued an injunction prohibiting the strikers from in any way. interfering with the business Of the shipping companies. The action of the court has caused much chagrin to the lead CTS of the strikers. Several shots were fired this morning, both by stri- kers and by strikebreakers. Much excitement was caused but no one was hurt.
 During the past day or so the strik- CTS have been getting ugly, and on Sunday non-union"men at work on the Yucatan were stoned and the strikers had to be suppressed by the police. In Tacoma strike breaker, John Klintz, in self defense stabbed q striker and in turn was knocked down and badly injured by crowd of long, shorcmcn. He was rescued by the police.

OPENING OF COURT
 WILL BE DELAYED

Judge Silas Reid will not return from the states until late in August and court will not convene in Fair banks until August 31. Word to this effect was received today by Assis- tant United States District Attorney l.. V. Ray, the information coming from Commissioner Goodwin of Fairbanks. The message states that Judge Reid is now in Chicago, but gives no reason for the delay in the latter's arrival in Fairbanks.
 When he went out Judge Reid an nounccd that he would return in time to open court in Fairbanks, July 27. This would have made it possible to open court in Valdez some time in October. It is believed that under the circumstances Judge Reid will not come to Valdez until after the Christmas holidays.

 The decision in favor of the Stand ard is, in administration circles, con- sidered one of the most severe blows yet struck at the policy advocated by the president. No one in authority has, however, venturcd any public criticism of the decision.

CALCIUM SHINES
 ON JIMMIE HYDE

Picking, July 25-James Hazen Hyde, he of life insurance and mon key dinner fame, early this morning made another bid for publicity by shooting at two coolies who were en- gagged in cleaning in the hotel in which MT. Hyde is staying. The shooting caused much excitement and those who rushed into the corri- dor beheld MT. Hyde, clad in paiamas and with a smoking revolver in his hand. The coolies had vanished leaving their mops and buckets be- hind.
 MT. Hyde's only explanation of the affair is that the coolies disturbed his morning rest and refused to desist when he so ordered. This exaspera- ted MT. Hyde and he emerged from his room and tried the persuasive power of powder and lead. There was no arrest.
