AMERICAN FEDERATION OF LA,
RoR lNDoRSES HIS PoLlTI-
CAL ACTION.
TO FIGHT INJUNCT|ONS
WILL STRIVE TO HAVE AN ANTI
INJUNCTION LAW PASSED BY
NEXT CONGRESS.

Denver.-Following, in brief, are the
decisions reached by the American
Federation of Labor at its session
Thursday:
That the political actions of Presi-
dent Gompers and the executive coun-
ell during the recent presidential
campaign be indorsed most heartily.
That efforts be made to unity the
anion labor vote so that it will be the
balance of power in all political con-
ventions and elections, and union la
Dor can control the nominations of
governors, Legislators, portion of
the judiciary and number of the con-
gressmen.
That Daniel ]. Keefe, member Of
the executive council who refused to
follow the political lead of the other
members of the council, or any other
officer of the federation, who refuses
to abide by the majority rule, be asked
forthwith to resign.
That the federation go on record as
ravoring political participation by or
ganized labor as body, and that some
definite political plan be outlined.
That trades unionists generally de-
fend themselves and their unions
against injunction suits of all kinds,
but not disregard entirely the rulings
of courts where injunctions are in
volved.
That efforts be made to have an
anti-injunction bill introduced into Con-
gress, so that labor bodies will not
be amenable to the Sherman antitrust
law, and so as to make it impossible
for courts to issue injunctions against
labor organizations where personal
rights and liberties are involved.

CobIess Corn Propaaated.

Bloomington, Ill.-A year ago H. j.
Sconce and Taylor Garlough of Ver-
million county, purchased a quantity
of seed corn in Indiana. In the ship
ment was a freak ear which, instead of
the ordinary cob, had core of husk,
the grains being neatly wrapped on
the soft foundation, like peas in pod.
Mr.. Sconce was impressed with the
novelty of the find and decided to
plant all the kernels found on the
freak ear To his surprise, the ears
produced were found to be exact re-
productions of the single ear.
