displayed during the interview.
Majors heard the impassioned ad-
dress of the delegate without inter-
rupting him and, when he had finished,
turned to the others, whom he called
by name, and whom he addressed as
follows:
Boys, 1 have looked into your case
as carefully as if it were my own. You
are in the wrong; there is no virtue in
your contentious and l cannot consider
them further. You have been receiv-
ing better wages and better and fairer
treatment than the employees of any
other road in this state. You haven't
a legitimate cause of complaint and
you are wasting your own time and
mine as well to seek further confer
ence with me until you come to your
senses and are willing to return to
work on the old terms. Amy of you
who wish to return to the service may
do so without prejudice. You are be-
Ing deluded by selfish agitator who
is profiting by the misfortunes which
his counsel has brought upon you. If
you prefer to follow him rather than
me, l have nothing farther to say to
you. 1 am going to run the P. & o.

do. If you resort to violence l will

He told me about this one afternoon
when l visited him at his office. One
of the office boys hung about as we
talked, in a way that l did not like,
and cautioned Majors lest he be over
heard and Halliday warned, but he
scoffed at my fears and said he trusted
the boy. Nevertheless, didn't like
the CLEAN that came into the boys
eyes when he heard what Majors had
to say about Halliday. Things looked
threatening for the delegate. l knew
that he. was a dangerous character
and / feared that he might try to es-
cape from the net that Majors was
weaving about him by trying to silence
Majors in the only way that was pos
sible.
That night Majors had promised to
call on me at my hotel to sample a
bottle of 30-year-old liquor that a
friend in the revenue service had sent
me from Kentucky. l had invited
Majors more to get him away from his
work than with any idea that he would
care especially for the liquor, as l
knew that he was temperate in all his
tastes and habits. l knew that he
needed the rest, that he was overtax-
ing himself with the war he was wag-
ing with the strikers, and l had not
liked the haunted, worried expression

To most persons in the temperate

truth is that there are over 60 known

which have been introduced by the

GOMPERS IS ENDORSED.
President for His Position in
Contempt Case.

TORONTO, Ontario, Nov. 19.-By a
rising vote, the convention of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor today adopted
a committee report endorsing the posi-
ton taken by President Gompers in the
Bucks Stove and Range company injunc-
ton case and protesting against 1.-The I'M
judicial and Incorporate language" used
by Justice Wright II sentencing Com
pers, Mitchell and Morrison to Jail for
contempt of court
Discussing the use of injunctions in
labor disputes the report says:
when the court arrogates to itself the
power to issue injunotions never con-
templated by rules of equity, and in di-
rect violation of constitutional and stat
utpry laws, and assumes the right to is
sue injunctions for the purpose of en-
forcing criminal law, it departs from the
domain of property rights. and invades
that of personal rights in a manner for
which there can be no excuse except
that the court thereby becomes the sole
judge of the law and the fact, and, if
the parties enjoined are declared guilty
of contempt, the extent of the punish
ment. all of which is a direct violation of
the fundamental laws. of the land and
the Anglo Saxon concept of human lib
orty."
The convention went on record as fa-
yoring bill for an eght-hour day;
uniform employers liability law; the es-
tablshment of department of labor in
dependent of any other department I'M
der the governments; Asiatic exclusion;
the hatters' strike and the Porto Rican
labor movement Child and convict la
Dor and ship subsidy were opposed.

RESIST WALSH APPEAL
GOVERNMENT FILES ANSWER TO
BANKERS PETITION.
Declare No Inconsistency Can Be Shown
in Jury's Verdict Finding Chi
cago Man Guilty.

CHICAGO. H.. Nov 1S.-District At
:orney Edwin w Sims today filed the
answer of the government to the petition
plying the funds of the Chicago Nation
ii bank. for a rehearing of his appeal
% the federal circuit court of appeals.
In the answer the government attor-
ley says that the only new points raised
~ the defendant in the petition, which
vas filed some days ago, are the multi
olicity of the counts of the indictment
and the allegation that the verdict was
Inconsistent.
To the objection the answer replies
hat as a general rule the joining of a
arge number of counts in an indictment
operates to the advantage of the defend
mt by enabling him to dispose of all
he charges at one trial, and further
more that no objection to the multiple
ty Of counts was raised at the trial.
The petition for rehearing urged that
he verdict was inconsistent because the
Jury found the defendant guilty on sep
iratc counts relating to the same trans
action but in which the allegations We're
contradictory, so that if he We're guilty
IF tho facts charged in one count he
could not have been guilty as charged
II announcer. 10 TINS the government re-
plies that the verdict is in effect a gem
eral verdict in which all of the counts
are included; that the Inconsistency if
any exists in the verdict is upon inmate
rial points, and lastly that there is no
real substantial difference between the
counts.
Should the petition for a rehearing be
denied by the court of appeals the only
avenue for a reversal will be an appli
cation to the federal supreme court for
4, .rit of eertiorari.

ESCH DEFENDS MEASURE
THINKS RAILWAY COMMISSIONERS
Misunderstood ITS SCOPE.
Bill Is Designed to Lessen the Number of
Train Wrecks and the Loss of
Lives Incidental.

LA CROSSE, Wis. Nov. 19.-[ Spe-
cial. I-Congressman John J. Esch, in an
interview regarding the resentment of
some of the members of the National
Association of Railway Commissioners
who are holding their convention in
Washington. against his bill on the
grounds that it takes away the rights
of the state aud gives them to the ma
ton. says:
Some of the commissioners evidently
do not understand the real scope of the
bill. The measure gives the interstate
commerce commission concurrence and
not exclusive jurisdiction in respect to
the rights of the state. The main pur-
pose of the bin is to empower the COM
mission to make thorough and exhaustive
investigation of any railroad wreck in
which there IS great loss of life, with
a view of ascertaining the cause so that
1t may become n matter of public rec
ord and serve as an object lesson to the
afflicted and other railroads to prevent a
repetition of the disaster.
There is absolutely nothing in the
bill which could make it be construed as
conflicting with the rights of the state
On the contrary, it contemplates the in
terstate commerce commission working
in conjunction with the state railroad
commission to lessen the number of train
wrecks and decrease correspOudingly the
great loss of life on the rail"
