Chicago. June Is The anti-injunc-
ton plank of the Republican national
ton. Is as follows:
I'VE declare for such amendment
OF the statutes of procedure in the
federal courts with respect to the
use of the writ of injunction as will
on the one hand prevent the summary
Issue of said orders without proper
consideration. and on the other will
preserve undiminished the power of
the courts to enforce their process to
the end that justice may be done at
an times and to all parties"
Over this plank there is a sharp
contest. the labor leaders arguing for
IT'S adoption and the employers of
labor opposing the measure.
On the tariff a declaration Is made
in favor OF revision by a special ses-
sion of congress imme diately follow
ing the work assigned to committees.

ken to this end In the work assigned
to = committee OF the two houses of
congress which are now investigating
tho operation and effect OF existing
schedules. The tariff plank reads as
follows:
I'm all tariff legislation the true
principle OF protection IN best main
tai7ed by the imposition of such du-
ties - win equal the difference be-
tween the cost Of production at home
and abroad with reasonable proft
