Resolutions of Bad Faith
Says 1t Was Programmed.

Chicago, June 1S.-The resolutions
committee of the republican national
convention just before daylight this
morning, after working since yester-
day afternoon, adopted the following
plank, dealing with the writ of in
junction which will be incorporated in
the platform to be adopted by the con-
vention:
The republican party will uphold at
all times the authority and integrity
of the courts, state and federal. and
will ever insist that their powers to
enforce their process and to protect
life, liberty and property shall be pre-
served inviolate. We believe, howev-
er. that the rules of procedure in fed
eral courts with respect to the issuance
of a writ of injunction, should be more
accurately defined by statute, and that
no injunction or temporary restraining
order should be issued without notice
except when irreparable injury would
result from delay, in which case a
speedy hearing thereafter should be
granted"
Agreement Is a Compromise.
This plank was virtually adopted by
the full committee on resolutions, after
being unanimously repcrted by the
subcommittee. In the full committee
the following states voted in the mega
tive: California, Colorado, Delaware
Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Mon
tana. Nevada, New Hampshire, North
Dakota, New Jersey. Oregon Utah
West Virginia and the District of Co
/ lumbia. Louisiana was not represent
ed on the committee.
This is a compromise between the
demands of labor and the capitalists
! demands. and while not satisfactory tC
either, ends a great deal of the opposi
tion which has been stirred up in the
last few days. 1t is considered by the
| leaders of the convention as a happy
/ solution. The latter half of the res
olution, requiring notice except in
emergencies, is merely a plea for the
return to the former practice in fed
! trail courts"

Gompers Is Opposed.

No Opposition in Convention.
There was little belief. despite tn.

would not pass the plank. There
