Attack on Emperor

By United Press Leased Special Wire.

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
BERLIN, Nov. 26.-An attempt to
gag Emperor William by law is to be
made by tho Socialist members Of the
Reichstag. In bitter speech, filled
with invectiye. Herr Ledebour To-
day assailed the recent utterances Of
the Kaiser. ridiculed his pretensions
Of divine right" and said that public
utterances along tbe line Of those re-
Gently made by the monarch were not
only in bad taste but positively irri-
tating TO all Germans who have the
welfare Of the nation at heart"
What measures will the chancellor
take 10 keep his pledges given 10 this
Reichstag in November, 1908. by
Prince Won Buelow," demand Ledo-
bour.
These were made solemnly by the
Emperor, only to be ruthlessly violat-
ed by his Majesty at koenlgsberg and
other places. Did the pledge mean
nothing? Cannot the German people
believe that promises made from the
throne are intended TO be kept? II this
is the case and the recent develop
ments would seem to indicate that Il
Is, then, the time has come when leg
! islation must be exacted that Will keeT
the ruling monarch from making pub
{ lie utterances that reflect on his peo-
( pie.
THE speech at Koenigsberg, en-
! dangered German honor and German
/ safety. The nation expects that th'
/ Emperor viii maintain his promise
! of 1908 to assume an attitude Of re
serve IN public hereafter. His recen
speeches glorifying his ancestors anC
upholding the claim Of rule by divine
right were in a very bad taste. Thel
have had an irritating effect on th'
people OF Germany and have tended t
hold the German nation up TO the ridi
cule OF the world"
Herr Ledebour spoke for an hou
in this strain, his speech being pune
tuated by wild applause from the So
Cialist members.

FEDERATION OF LABOR.
Position OF President Gompers Threat

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
ST. LOUIS, Nov. 26.--Delegates at
the American Federation Of Labor
convention admitted that President
Gompers had been drawn directly into
a situation that threatens the fedora
ton. when he was asked TO adjust the
crucial clash between the Western
Federation of Miners and the Inter-
national Association of Machinists. AS
predicted, James o. Connell, head Of
tho machinists, caused a dead lock In
the struggle 10 affiliate the western
miners and the convention was adj
iourned without action. The fight be-
tween William Meyer, president OF the
western miners, and O'COnnell, for
Jurisdiction over all workmen I'm the
metaliferous trades, ended In, de-
mand by O'Connell for a ruling from
the chair. President Gompers refused
then TO decide whether the Western
Miners OF the Machinists should have
the last word In the affiliated Western
Federation.
When the convention reconvened to-
day the delegates expected some an
nouncment by President Gompers. The
issue in the Western states is over the
perpetuation Of the GOmpers policy OF
trade unionism," as against what is
termed In some quarters as industrial
unionism." Gompers' declination to
rule on the issue gave rise to the be-
lief that he may Withhold a decision
until after final adjournment.

Dr. Beck's Letter.


Dear Sir: see by the papers that
City Council is advocating the build
ing Of a Municipal Electric Lighting
Plant. Why not the necessities first.
In my opinion there is nothing more
needed than a Municipal Hospital for
Contagious Diseases, where physicians
can send their cases and treat them as
they should be.
Our present method OF quarantine is
the best that is possible under the
present conditions. but far, am sorry
to say, from perfect.
I feel that an institution OF this
kind can be maintained in this city
at a very little. Of any, expense, and
would be a God-send to the public in
general. This Is a matter that l feel
should meet with the hearty approval
of every physician, especially those
who have been connected in any way
with public health, and feel the need
OF such an institution more keenly.
Trusting that your ideas may be
fully realized, and assuring you of my
hearty cooperation IN the same /
am,
Very truly yours.

it is not as a great writer that Bur
