EXCELLENT SHOWING FOR FIRST
NINE MONTHS or YEAR.
Y. N. c. A. PROsPERING.
Report Shows that Current Expenses
Have Been Paid from Receipts, Not
including Building Fund-Dormito-
ries all Full and Applicants Waiting.

The report for the first nine months
of 1908 to the board OF directors has
been prepared by Secretary Steele,
of the Y. M. c. "A. and is satisfactory in
all respects. 1t shows that the insti-
tuition has been self-sustaining since
its organization, and prospects are
now that it will continue so.
The total receipts Of the association
since January / were $15,o43.o4, which.
is divided as follows: Rents, $5,49o.-
IS; membership. $2,829.00 towel
rentals, $136.50; games, $321.7o; lock-
ers, $203..7o; collections at religious
meetings, $685.; special in%cidentals,
including donations, sales, and other
small receipts, $17o.27, OF which 374.45
was received through a sale by John
ID. Losekamp for the benefit Of the
association.
The total amount received for the
building fund since the association
was organized last year is ~$52,167.42,
Of which $5,S21.42 applies to the build
ing fund, and is not included in the
list above, as it is not applied to the
running expenses. The amount for
building fund received up to January
1 was $46,346.00.
There is $4,000 insurance on the
building and furnishings of the asso-
citation. This amount is carried so as
to get the benefit OF the co-insurance
clause, which reduces the premium.
"The association thus far has paid
its general running expenses from
the receipts outside the building
fund.-" says Secretary Steele. 1.-THE
rooms are all full and there are many
applicants waiting to get them when
they become vacant"

bring about trade agreements to en-
title them to q responsible position
that they occupy now in dealing with
their employers, is entirely due to
the law which I laid down, as to any
other cause.
The Injunction.
81 am said to be the father Of in
functions. l issued injunctions, there
is no doubt about that, and il I went
on the bench and the occasion called.
for an injunction, I would Issue it
again, but l deny that l invented in
functions. Injunctions were issued
long before / went on the bench and
/ only used a remedy that every man
is entitled to when no other remedy is
adequate.
Il agree that in~junctions have been
issued which have been much too
broad, and the reason why they have
been too broad is because they have
been issued without notice and the
Judge has not sufficiently considered
1t. Therefore, I have been in favor OF
requiring that no Injunction should is
sue without notice, but the Republican
convention did not decide to 60 SO
far, but said, il you put into manda-
tory statute the best present statutes
and SO define the few cases where
temporary injunctions may issue with
ou notice and require that when q
temporary injunction is issued with
out notice, 1t shall not have effect
for more than 48 hours, so that a man
may have a hearing within 4S hours,
then that abuse Of which they COM
plain, and Of which they rightly COM
plain because injunctions issued tenn
porarily without notice and the time
for hearing has been fxed three
months hence will be done away with.
It is an outrage and ought not to be
permitted, and 1 am not defending it,
but what l say is, there are judges
and judges, and to visit me with re-
been committed and not to look to
my own cases and to know what my
own case decided is not to give me
a square deal"

to the late date ct which arrange
ments for the conference and the N
tinuing at work pending Its outcome
were reached.
The disagreement at the last confer
ence was that the representatives Of
the mine owners contended for 8 re
duction in wages Of from IL to 20 per
cent, while the sepresentatives Of the
mine workers wanted the scale of the
past year continued. The question
Of wages was the only disagreement
at the last conference, the adjourn.
ment Of which without reaching an
agreement caused It to be feared for
some time that the mines Of the state
might close down and the coai snip
ply be cut Of, but the holding 81 an
other conference and the continuing
OF work IN the mines pending the out
come Of the deliberations at the con
ference has led many q the miners
and operators to believe that agettle-
ment will be reached.
MI. Purcell and MI. Rogers were
both hopeful Of reaching an agreeable
settlement. The conference was asked
for by representatives OF the mine
owners, which leads to the opinion
that q satisfactory settlement viii b
reached.
Mr.. Purcell says that there IL but
slight differences existing between tho
miners and operators in the Wyoming
fields now and the outlook for :
speedy settlement there is good. The
mines in northern Wyoming have
been operating for some time, while
those in southern Wyoming have r.
sumed pending the outcome OF the
conference at Cheyenne, at which
Thomas Gibson, president. Of the or
ganization for Montana and Wyoming.
W. d. Ryan, the secretary-treasureY,
OF the national Organization and John
R. Lawson, national board member for
Colorado, are present. AS in Montana
the miners want q continuation Of last
years scale. while the operators want
q reductions.
Information, which reached Billings
last night from Red Lodge, was to the
effect that practically all Of the mines
there were idle as the men had not
shown up for work IN the morning.
This was because It was generally mn
derstood that there would be q shut
down October i. The miners at Red
Lodge had held a meeting Tuesday
night and decided to quit work o.
September 20 at III o'clock and Il was
in accordance with that decision that
they did not work yesterday. Several
meetings were held and It vas gener-
ally believed that inasmuch az the In
ternational had sanctioned working
until the dispute vas settled at the
conference in Helena the miners
would soon return to work.

meeting was reached by automobiles
and the return was made shortly after

Senator D%olliver had ben holding forth
to an immense audience for an hour.
In his South Omaha speech, Taft
after reviewing the labor decisions he
had rendered said:
THAT is not all. / laid down the
rule that labor ont only had the right
to unite, but that it ought to unite in
order to meet capital on a level; that
workingmen had q right to appoint
officers; that they had a right to raise
funds with which to sustain strikes,
that strikes could not be enjoined,
that men had the right to leave the
employ Of their employers in concert
if they choose; that they had the
right to appoint officers who should
direct them in what they should do;
that they had a right to withdraw
from association with those with
whom they had controversy; that
they had the right to induce all the
competitors, all their fellow unions
to withdraw from such associations,
but that they did not have the right
to injure the property of their en-
ployers or declare q secondary boy
colt against them.
