ed to incorporate the plank regard
ing the use of injunctions in labor
controversies, and the full committee
was called in and received the sub
committee report.
While the subcommittee was IN
session during the greater part OF
the day, there were two or three
rather prolonged intermissiOns, and
before the day closed it became evil
dent that the injunction clause ad-
vocates were sparring for time. Dur
ing the recesSes as well as the time
the committee was engaged, strenuous
efforts were made by both sides to
increase their strength in the full
committee. For the first time since
the fight began, friends OF the ad-
miniStration became fully awakened
to the seriousness of the situation.
During the day they received tele-
grams from Washington expressing
the views of both President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft as to the neecs-
Sity OF the injunction plank. In one

San quarter of New OrleanT one of
the most serious tragedies yet con-
nected with that section occurred

their lives.
According to the police, these three
men met their death as a result of
an attempt to extort money from
Pierto Giacona, a wealthy Italian wine
merchant, at 1113 Charities street.
Eiacona and his soon told the police
tnat these men had frequently bought
wine from them by the barrel and
had invariably refused to pay for it.

forced them to ship barrel OF
wine to a point in Louisiana yester-
day and returned early this morning
and ordered them to prepare a meal

The elder Giacona suspected that
trouble would ensue and hid a re-
peating rifle near the table. Aynen
one of the visiting Italians drew a
heavy calibre revolver and ordered
them to produce money and valu-
ables, the elder Giacona answered
with a shot from the rife.
