The Roswell daily record. [volume] (Roswell, N.M.) 1903-current, 1908-07-09

I to the plans of those controlling the
| convention, Mr.. Bryan might develop
| greater strength in the presidential
| ballot than he did on the question
| la t night; but the total of 3S7 votes
| inspired the allied opposition with
new hopes. 1t developed in this con-
nection that a strong effort was made
| to avoid vote last night, as the
| Bryan managers desired not to have
| an issue which would disclose the
strength of the two contending eie-
ments.
The Injunction Plank.
Denver, Colo, July 9.-sfNo injunc-
| tion shall be issued in a labor dis
pute where the writ could not be
employed in the absence OF the exist
ence Of such dispute" This is the
essential part of the injunction pro-
vision which has been drawn by the
subcommittee of three consisting OF
George Fred Williams, of Massachu-
setts, Judge Alton B. Parker, of New
York, and joe Sullivan, of Iowa. 1t
will be presented to the full commit
tee this morning, Land-fs declared to
be entirely satisfactory to all the Ia
Dor organizations except the railway
trainmen's brotherhood.
The plank further provides for ju-
ry trials as to the facts in all cases
of injunctions. This plank is exactly
what was asked for by President
Gompers, of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, and Is understood to
have been approved by him as drawn.
Mr.. Bryan was telegraphed to last
night on behalf OF the protesting rail-
way trainmen who assert that the
provision as drawn Is impracticable
and incapable of administration by
the judges.
The injunction provision is con-
tanned in what is known as the labor
plank of the platform. This plank al
so decares for an eight hour day and
for a comprehensive employers act.
The Injunction plank as adopted
omits the requirement OF notice be-
fore the institution Of. Injunction
suits, the view of the subcommittee
being that the necessity for notice is
obviated by the provision that labor
disputes shall be treated in this con-
nection the same as other controver-
sizes. The plan as adopted does pro-
vide for jury trials in proceedings
for the violation of injunctions.
The subcommittee about noon adop
ted the railroad plank as revised by
smaller committee. 1t provides for
valuation of the railroads by the Inter
state Commerce Commission and
would authorize that commission to
control rates. The subcommittee also
adopted a trust plank which would
give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission supervision over all corpora
tions doing an interstate business OF
more than a million dollars a year.
Last Nights Session.
Denver, Colo, July 9.-When the
Democratic national convention at
11:3O last night adjourned until IL
| o'clock this morning, after hours Of
acrimonious debate over the reS1ort
/ of the committee on credentials. one
snag had been removeF from the
channel through which tGe candidacy
of VIM. J. Bryan must Spass on the
| way to the nomination for the Presi-
Idency of the United States. BY vote
| of GIG to 387 the convention rejected
the minority report of the committee
| on credentials, the principal practical
effect of which was to unseat the
group of contested delegates from
Pennsylvania. hostile to tho candida
| cy of Bryan and more pafticularfy
friendly to the interests Of National
| Committeeman Guffey, OF Pittsburg.
| In addition the report added four to
1.-THE representation of Oklahoma and
thus four to the total strength of the
| convention. These four are Bryan
men.
1 The work on the platform was still
| unfinished when the weary sub-com
mittee having it in charge went to
bed close to midnight, expecting to
resume at $3.50 this morning.
| Discussion of Vice Presidential
candidates Is still in the background.
and there apparently has been no
change in that matter in the past "a
hours:
| There was another night of festivi-
ties in Denver last night, but the fact
| that the convention people were busy
at the hall, and more especially the
| sheer physical WEAKNESS following
! the tremendous demonstration of yes-
! terday afternoon. kept the celebration
within bounds.
