GREAT LABOR CONFERENCE
Leaders in Washington Consider
Proposed Legislation.
Executive Officers of Trades Unions
Discuss Supreme Court Decisions
With President Gompers.

Washington, D. ca conference
of tar-reaching Importance to labor
occurred here. Participating were
President Gompers and the members
of the Executive Council Of the Amer.
lean Federation of Labor, together
with the executive officers of the In
ternational Trades Unions of Amer.
lea, who met pursuant to a call is
sued by President Gompers to con-
slider the consequences OF the recent
injunction decisions OF the Supreme
Court of the United States affecting
labor organizations, with particular
reference TO the Danbury hatters'
case, in which that court substan-
TALLY held that labor organizations
were to be considered trusts, as much
as organizations of capital.
After calling attention TO the sig
nificance of these decisions, Mr.. Com
pers stated that the conference was
for the purpose of taking such &c
ton as the Importance and merits OF
the subject dealt with may be consid-
cred and determined as setting forth
the position and demands of labor. y
The courts rulings, he pointed out,
were binding upon all labor organi-
cations until changed or modified by
Congressional action.
The object of the conference, there
lore, was to consider the proposed
amendments to the Sherman Anti
Trust act, which are being drafted,
with a view, not OF exempting labor
organizations from their obligations
to the public, but rather to prevent
any injustice being done through the
operation of law to organizations OF
laboring men, particularly through
injunction. 1t is desired so to frame
the proposed changes in the Sherman
law as to meet the requirements OF
the Supreme Courts decisions. The
proposed amendments are the result
of recent conferences at the White
House between President Roosevelt
and others, and it is hoped to secure
remedial legislation along these line;
at this session of Congress.
There are III national and inter
national trade unions in America
and practically all of them were rep

suit of the heavy depression in indus

accomplishing the desired results, Of
fcials of both the Pennsylvania and
the Reading roads reluctantly ad-
mitted that the next move would be
general reduction of wages.
When the cut comes. which may be
in April, and certainly not later than
May l. unless a material change for
the better suddenly develops, a cut
OF ten per cent in the wages of en-
ployes making full time will likely
be made
The complete reversal in policy
within the last few days on the part
of the Pennsylvania and the Reading
in retaining in the service only such
employees as are actually required
and putting them on full time. from
the one established about four weeks
ago OF giving partial employment to
which the straws are drifting.
The plan contemplated will not ap-
pear nearly so drastic as similar cut
with only half time In other words,
employees working fifty-five hours a
week and having their wages cut ten
per cent. would still have left prac-
tically fifty hours of service at full
pay, as against twenty-seven hours
under partial employment
Furthermore. with their employees
on full time, less number would be
affected by such cut than if it were
put in effect with an increased force
on one-half time and the chances for
rebellion against such cut would be
materially lessened. Again, the
chances of vigorous protest against
such reduction and possible strike
are still further lessened by the large
increase in the number of idle men
that the present plans of the rail-
roads entail.
