MIR. eompers, "Remedies.n

The remedies which Mr.. Gompers
has already submitted to congress are
matters of record. and the Identified
tion of his remedy" against injunc-
tions in labor disputes is easy and GER

house bill No. IA of the first session OF
the Sixtieth congress, the complete
text of which is hereto appealed.
The gist of the bill was can this be

Ills statement now makes perfectly
clear an important plank in the Bry.
ante platform which has heretofore
seemed puzzling to a vast number of
earnest-minded, thinking people, who
aressincerely interested in the steady
advance and the legitimate aspira-

both platforms to know precisely what
hopes each hold out for the improve
ment of the conditions of wage earn
ers.
That plank reads as follows

G;st Of Bill.

First-After forbidding any federal
judge to issue restraining order for
an injunction in any labor dispute ex-
cept to prevent irreparable injury to
property or property right, 1t specifl
cally provides that no right to carry
on business of any particular kind, or
at any particular place. or at all, shall
be construed, held, considered or
treated as property or as constituting
a property right"
Second-It provides that nothing
agreed upon or done by two or more
parties in connection with labor dis
pute shall constitute conspiracy or
other criminal offense or be prosecuted
as such unless the thing agreed upon
or would be unlawful if done by sin
gle individual
The bill mere described is not only
the remedy" that Mr.. Gompers has
already submitted to congress. but 1t
is the one and only remedy" which
he and those associated with him in
his present movement have announced
that they will accept in the matter of
his grievance against the courts on the
injunction issue.
The counsel for the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, and Mr.. Gompers,
it's president are both on record to
this effect.
