Refers to High Cost of Living.

Attorney Dougherty aroused the ban
cost of living.
ut has been proposed to boycott the
products of the beef trust" he declared.
II think it would be a mistake of the
people to permit the trust to Danish from
their tables a necessary of life. A unified
people, alive to their wrongs, can redress
them. The enemies of the people should
be attacked, not the Stomachs of the peo-
pie. In view Of the awakened public con-
science, the peoples government can re-
dress the peoples wrongs.
"A government which can create cor
poration can protect it's employees from
injustice. Here in this republic the people
have that power. If they have allowed
it to slip from their hands, they ought
to speedily regain it.
Statesmen and the Courts.
Secretary Morrison told of the action of
the Senate and the House in answering
the writ issued by judge ordering them
to appear in court and show reason
for a certain action.
II cite this action he continued, be
cause the American Federation of Labor
has declared, at it's conventions, that no
judge has right to issue any injunction
depriving man of the rights the Con-
stitution gives him. l am satisfied that
action will be sustained by Congress and
by the courts of the country"
This was taken as a prediction that
the labor leaders, now under sentence
for contempt of court, will win their ap-
peal to the United States Supreme Court
on their claim that they only exercised
the constitutional right of free speech
and free press.
Representative Rucker male an obvious,
though not direct, contrast between the
Lincoln dollar dinner of the labor leaders
at the Arlington and the Lincoln twenty
five-dollar dinner at the Waldorf in New
York, which President Taft attended,
He wondered, he said. if at the New
York dinner there would be brought as
many evidences of the lCwly Lincoln,
1.-The man of the people," as was brought
out at the less expensive dinner here.
Among the entertaining features of the
evening were vocal solos by President
Gompers' daughter, Miss Sadie Gompers.
