PLANK COVERS
SUCH CASES
John Mitchell, in Comment
ing on Citation of Supreme
Court In Boycott Case,
Says Democratic Platform
Would Give Relief in Such
Cases.
BY Associated Press.

indianapolis, md. July 21.-John
Mitchell, who arrived here from New
Orleans today, says he knows nothing
of the citation OF the supreme court,
except what has been published.
The citation is based on petition
of the Buck Stove and Range Com
pany, of St. Louis, which alleges that
an order issued by Justice Gould for
bidding an alleged boycott by the
American Federation of Labor has
been violated by the public utterances
and addresses of the three labor lead
ers named. 1t also is stated that Mr.
Gompers caused to be published in
the Federationist, the official organ OF
the American Federation, certain
article rejecting on the courts decis
ion, and in alleged open defiance
printing the name of the Buck Stove
aud Range Company on the I'VE
Don't Patronize List"
Samuel Gompers, Frank Morrison
and Mitchell were named in the sum-
mons. Gompers was quoted yesterday
as saying:
SO far as l am concerned, | wish
to state this: When it comes &c
choice between surrendering my
rights as a free American citizen OF
violating the Injunction of the court
l do not hesitate to say that / snail
exercise my rights as between the
two"
In commenting on this in connec
ton with the anti-injunction plank
Mitchell said today that he believed
that the plank adopted would give tbs
necessary relief in such cases as this
At a meeting OF the United Mine
Workers last January, Mitchell put Il
vote a resolution imposing a flint

| ton who purchased a stove or rang'

"EMIGRADOS" EXILED
FOR COUNTRY'S GOOD
It Was Expected That They
Would Make Many Charg-
es, But This, Says de Leon,
is a Huge Joke-Accusa-
tons Against Cabrera Are
All ISLANDERS.
Special &c TIE Journal.


Mobile, Ala, July 21-AEdrew O.
De Leon, consul general of Guatemala
here, in an open letter to the editor
of the Item, emphatically denies the
report that Cabrera contributed To the
Roosevelt campaign fund. lie says:
Editor Daily Item: Permit me the
liberty of answering your press dis
patch in today's paper in reference to
the alleged contribution of President
Cabrera to the Republican campaign
fund.
This Dr. Herman Prove, and his
friends, the "Emigrados," from Guate-
mala (Iiow residing in the City of Mex
ico) from what they publish, seem TO
have at their fingers ends not alone
the inside workings of the government
OF Guatemala, but also complete III
formation regarding the business OF
the great political parties OF the Unit
ed States.
Is this not ridiculous? Can ii be
conceived for one moment that any
party in the United States, with all
the resources at their command,
would go TO Guatemala to seek eontri-
buttons. Besides, | think that the Ut
terances of these people TO some Of
wanton and gross insult TO some OF
tlemen in the United States, viz: the
managers of the Republican party
who they have accused of receiving
this money.
DR.. Prove and his friends, the
''EmigI ADDS" have bene exiled from
Guatemala for the good of the country
are naturally enemies of President
Cabrera and his government, and it i:
to be expected, that they will make a.
kinds of charges, but when they claim
that the United States has been bribeC
by President Cabrera, the whole thins
becomes a huge joke.
AS soon as any one is forced L
leave Guatemala, the first thing h
does is TO rush into print with abus
of the president. but the indiSputab l
fact remains that during the tim
Manuel Estrada Cabrera has held tn
reins of government, Guatemala ha
steadily progressed upward, and lik
the skilled pilot that he is, he ha
kept his country out of all difficulties
I1numerable charges of all kind
have been made against Presiden
Cabrera, but up to date no one ha
been able to produce a single proof t
substantiate the ISLANDERS which hav
been circulated about him.
1t seems that the Mexican pres
takes especial pains to publish all tn
fabrications brought to them by t.
-'Emigrados" and other persons, ii
imical to Guatemala and her pres
dent, and l would suggest that IN
American public pay the same 'tteI
;tion to these reports as he win III

bribed the United States goySIEner
