ROOSEVELT DENOUNCED
SAMUEL eoMPERs SCORES PRES
IDENT IN EDITORIAL.
Labor Leader, in Federationist, De-
mics Ever Abusing Judges
or Courts.

Washington, D. C.-In an editorial
in the Jenuary issue of the American
Federationist Samuel Gompers refers
TO the alleged abuse of the Injunction
power by the courts, points to the in
dorsement of his attitude by the Dem
yer convention of the American fed
GRAFTON, denies ever having abused
judges or courts and refers in vigorous
fashion to President Roosevelt. Com
pers says in part:
The vicious and unwarranted at.
tacks from the exalted-and others
not so exalted-the attempt to direct,
control and subordinate the labor
movement of the United States other
than by the men of labor themselves,
has been rebuked by the Denver con-
vention.
In view of the u%tterances of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, during the recent cam.
paign, all looked forward with keen
interest to what he would say in his
recent annual message to congress.
He disported himself as was antici.
pated.
we wish to concern ourselves here
particularly with what the press char
acterizes as AN attack on labor lead
ers' in the presidents message. 1t
does not call for much discernment
to infer to whom the president directs
his abuse. It is doubtful that any
president of the United States in an
official message to congress ever be-
for descended to such misrepresenta.
ton and %yilifcation of individual cit.
liens as Mr.. Roosevelt has in his last
annual message.
president Roosevelt absolutely mis-
represents the attitude of certain
leaders Of organized labor in his
sweeping demonstrations. He does this
knowingly and willfully
"Mr. Roosevelt can not quote, for he
a not find, any violent and sweep
ing attack upon the entire judiciary
of the country, which he charges the
men of labor with making.
"The fact is that no representative
of labor made any attack upon any
individual, judge or the judiciary as
such. We leave such fulminations to
Mr.. Roosevelt"

London, Eng.-News that the ex-
istence of a new major planet moving
