Labor Leader Puts Final
Appeal Urging Support
For Bryan.
PUBLISHES SPECIAL
EDITION OF PAPER
Declares Roosevelt Is Inconsistent
and Insists Workers Vote
Against Judge Taft.

A final appeal 20 organized labor on
behalf Of the Democratic national ticket
was issued today by President Gompers,
OF the American Federation OF Labor.
in the form Of a special number OF the
American Federatonist, which viii ne
mailed TO all central labor unions
throughout the country.
In a telegram addressed to every cen
traI labor body this morning. announo-
ing this fact. President Gompers says.
Every labor man and liverty-loving
citizen is urged 70 redouble activity and
alertness. and to stand true to the
great cause OF human freedom involved
in this campaign"
The principal article in the pamphlet,
Headed, president RooseveIt's incon-
sistency," says in part:
president Roosevelt, in his attacks
upon labor. processes to be deeply out
ragged. because Samuel GOmpers has
criticised the action Of the courts in
certain instances. because he has in
timated that judges are not always In
falible, and that injustice had Often
been done to labor.
Asks Roosevelt.
HAS Mr.. Roosevelt always refrainel.
from criticising or attacking the courts
decisions?
1T Is notorious that the President al
ways attacked fiercely anybody who
does not agree with him. His naive as
sumption OF infaIibflity Is almost ludi-
crous. He really seems to think that he
has a monopoly of all right-thinking
and good intentions
THE worker judges Candidate Taft

Referring TO the Presidents recent let

drastic injunction decree against the
Iron MOlders' Union, Of Milwaukee
TltSlQenl GOmptrS says IN the article
Here President Roosevelt himself
admits that the courts have abused the
power OF injunction by forbidding things
which the workmen had legal right
10 do"
What is his remedy? Is it the enact
ment OF a law TO define the Injunction
power and limit its abuse? No; he would
nave the workman send embassies 10
the White House TO ask him and Mr.
Tart 70 bring pressure upon the courts
70 reverse such inJuncttOns. President

Special to THE ARGUS.

Washington. d. c., March 23-Tl,e
U. s. Supreme Court handed down to-
day its opinion in the now famous
RAILROAD rate litigation between the
States of North Carolina, Virginia,
Georgia and others and the Railroads.
The opinion sustains federal Judge
Pritchard in his rulings, tor which he
has been aired so extensively in the
public prints by partisan newspapers.
The opinion is explicit and gives no
uncertain sound as to the obligation
resting upon the States to treat with
equity the vested rights of corpora
tons doing intra-state business. In
other words, the doctrine of "eminent
domain" has it's limitations in justice
and is not the doctrine of might makes

POWERS IS STEADILY INCREASING.

In the second conference at The Hague
forty-fve powers were represented. All
were, theoretically, equal at the confer
ence, but, in all truth and reality, they
were not. Eight we're recognized as
great powers and thirty-seven as small
powers. The INK of great powers
is steadily increasing, however. Five
hundred years ago there were but three
the Holy Roman Empire, France and
England. Later on Spain became a
great power, but she lacked staying
qualities. The military genius OF Gus
tavus Adolphus made Sweden a great
power, but after he died Sweden fell out
of the first rank. Austria, Germany,
Russia and a unified Italy were at length
added to France and England, and then
1000 900 veterans at the end of the civil
war brought the United States into the
company of the strong. and Japan
fought her way in through victories in
two great wars The list, therefore,
stands as follows: England, France,
Austria, Germany, Russia, Italy, the
United States and Japan-eight in all,
and recognized everywhere as Great
Powers to be consulted in any great
conference over great world changes.
It is believed that China will in the
next twenty years become No. 9 and
Brazil should become No 10. The lat
ter is, however, equatorial, with Latin
traditions, and neitherof these is favor
able to speedy development. Brazil
has a great expanse of territory and she
may wake up enough by 1850 to become
No. 10.

FOR TIE GAMBLING EAST.

Under no circumstances would Sena-
tor Aldich Or his advisers consent to an
amendment that injured IN the least
Wall Street, no matter how Just ii might
be, or how much it would benefit the
rest OF the country. This vas plainly
shown when the Aldrich nance COM
mittee rejected Senator Johnst ms
wholly reasonable amendment for keep
ing a portion of the Is per cent reserve
at home instead of hurrying it to New
York, to be used there in stock and cot
ton gambling.
The entire bill is drawn in the inter
est of the gambling East, for that is the
section which is loaded up with State,
county and city bonds. Under the new
amendment railroad bonds would be
cut out as a basis Of emergency circu-
lation. This does not hurt the East,
for it holds an abundance of State,
county nj city bonds, which, with ma
tional bonds, are to be the basis of an
emergency circulation if the pending
bill becomes a law.
Only 2 1000, 900 900 of railroad and
State, county and city bonds are avail
able for circulation purposes, according
to Mr.. Aldrich's figures, and now that
railroad bonds are to be eliminated from
he emergency problem, it is doubtful
whether there are enough State, county
and city bonds available to support the
proposed additional circulation, namely
$500. 600 900.
The entire bill has small reference to
the prevention OF a panic. It is q weak
piece of patchwork intended to help the
East out of q panic after it has occurred.
A lev amendment provides that not
moro than 81. O00, 600 Of an emergency
circulation shall be withdrawn in the
course Of q single month. It would
take, therefore, about Ave years to get
rid of b maximum sum named in the
/ Afdrich bill, and it would be taxed all
the while heavily. All in all, the bill

LAUNCH TIPS, 3 DROWN.
The Merry Wido50 Vas Making
First Trip as FerrybOat.

Pittsburg, July 27.-The Merry Widow gas
olene launch, carrying from sixteen to twenty
workmen from the Jones & Laughlin Steel
Company's plant across the Monongahela River
TO their homes in the south side section of the
city, was capsized shortly after o'clock to-
night in twenty feet of water by waves from a
coal boat Three men are known to be drowned,
as follows: Henry Schaffer half owner of the
launch; George Kimberly and Thomas Rhyd-
derck
Whether others were drowned is not known
at this time The police endeavoring to
ascertain the names of the men who were in
the launch when the accident occurred. Con-
siderable confusion prevails, however, and up
to a late hour tonight only a few of the men
who hal been in the launch had been found.
Several months ago Henry Schaffer one of
the known victims. and Anthony Charles, both
formerly employed in the steel plant, bought
the launch 10 transport the mill to their
homes across the river. The idea met with
great success among the men and the Merry
Widow started tonight its first trip. It is
believed that as the accident occurred near the
shore most of the occupants escaped. Rhyd-
derck, who drowned was lay Methodist
preacher
