"On the one hand we have repub-
lican congress absolutely refusing to
enact the demands of the workers for
right and equitable legislation, and
boasting that it is willing to take the
consequences. Following this action of
congress we have the convention of
the republican party scorning labor's
demands and adopting a so-called in
junction plank, which is an insult to
the intelligence Of every voter in this
land; a plank which declares for the
continuance and perpetuation of the
abuse Of the injunction process in it's
arbitrary application to labor disputes.
"The republican party definitely
lines up with the corporate interests Of
the country and defies the people to
help themselves. On the other hand,

1t is the general opinion among
horsemen that the Saratoga Asso-

could be expected, for though the
profits of the meeting have increased
steadily in recent years, Saratoga
never had the advantage of a metro
politan crowd to draw on, and It's
margin of reserve strength has been
proportionately small. The prompti-
tude shown by the management in in
forming horsemen just what they are
to expect seems every reason to be-
lieve that the stakes for which nomi-
nations now are invited will be patron
lied literally.

WASHINGTON, July 3O-Samuel
Compers. president of the American

side on the candidacy of Mr.. Taft in
an editorial in the American Fedora
Zionist this month and urges that the
entire organized labor vote support

Mr. Gompers declared some days
ago in an interview, that he had al

attitude of the republican party to-
ward labor and labors interests COM
pes him to leave that party and to
condemn their "fiimsy. tricky eva

Mr.. Gompers says: THE republican
convention resorted to a fiimsy, tricky
evasion of the issue Oh the injunction
question; that it wholly failed to meet
the requirements of an intolerable, un-
Just and un-American situation and
that no relief was either declared or
promised
Labor asked the republican con-
vention for bread and it gave a stone, -
Mr. G0mpers continued The editorial
which includes planks proposed by la
Dor to the republican and democratic
conventions and the labor planks
adopted by each, says in part:
At a glance the republican plank
adopted will be seen to be fiimsy,
tricky evasion of the injunction issue,

against which labor justly protests
