Mr. Hyde's land was mostly a re-
Gently cut lot. Lyman Moore had
some acres of young white pine Ave or
six feet high destroyed The damage
done will amount to about $1,000, if
the timber is neglected and allowed
to stand. On the younger timber,
such as pine, destroyed this will
amount, no doubt, to a $500 loss. from
which there is no recovery. AS the
pines destroyed is self sown. it will
be several years before the new trees
from natural seeding will start. At
all times during the fighting Sunday
a perfect cool effort was pronounced
among the men, and those in charge,
and the fire was surrounded and under
control before it reached recently cut
pine lots that would have allowed the
FIRE to run at will for vast area, al

DID DEMOCRATS FOOL LABoR2
Joker Suspected in Platforms Anti
Injunction Plank.

u0JunctlOn flaNk.
Denver, July ills there a joker in
the anti-injunction plank of the dem
ocratic platform thru which labor
will not find that relief 1t has been
CRYING for-tr1e writ Of injunction with
notice only?
The announcement that Samuel
Gompers and John Mitchell, the two
guiding stars Of labor. were more than
delighted with the plank as adopted
at the convention lulled other labor
men for the time, but close study Of
the plank now fails to bring to them
that degree Of satisfaction which they
had expected. None of the labor lead
ers as yet, however, will say that he
Is disappointed with the efforts of the
democratic leaders.
When Mr.. Gompers appeared before
the committee on resolutions to pre-
sent the demands of labor he read a
plank which he said he wanted either
to have inserted in the platform or
left out. He did not want any COM
promise or half way measures. His
position was supported by II. r. Fuller,
representing the interests OF the rail-
road men Of the country.
In the plank which Mr.. Gompers in
sisted upon having the democrats put
In their platform this is the import
ant clause:
1--WE pledge ourselves to the enact
ment Of law by congress to prohibit
the issuance Of injunctions in cases
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-07-11

arising out Of labor disputes when
such injunctions would not apply when
no labor disputes existed, and that In
no case shall an injunction be issued
Whene there exists q remedy by the
ordinary process of law, and which act
shall provide that in the procedure for
the punishment Of contempt of court
the party cited for contempt shall,
when such contempt was not COM
mitted in the actual presence of the
court, be entitled to trial by jury"
This is specific language. This is
what Mr.. Gompers demanded. What he
got was as follows:
Experience has proven the necessity
of modification of the present law
relating to injunctions and we reiter-
ate the pledge Of our national plat
forms Of 1896 and 1904 in favor Of the
measure which passed the United
States senate in 1896, but which a re-
publican congress has ever since re-
fused to enact relating to contempts
in federal courts and providing for
trial by jury in cases Of indirect con-
tempt"
The object of the trainers Of this
plank was to placate all labor inter-
ests, refrain from alarming capital,
and keep down the ogre Of class inter-
est. It contains no reference to the
claim of labor that liberty has been
fmperiled by the abuse Of the injunc-
ton nor that the rights Of men are
above all property rights.
