GOMPERS SAYS MOONS
REPLY Is MISLEADING

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14--Samuel Com
pers. when shown the statement of
Congressman Moon tonight, character
ized it as misleading, "as 1t was in
tended to be-. and as his bill was in
tended to be-"
Mr.. Gompers added:
''If his bill were now law; IL 1t had
been law when Justice Gould, of the
supreme court of the District of Co
lumbia, issued his Injunction, there
would not have been one jot of differ
ence in the case of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, nor would there have
been any difference il the status of
the sentence imposed by Justice Wright
upon Frank Morrison, of Imprisonment
for six months, upon John Mitchell for
nine months, or upon myself for IL
months.
''It Is not a question of notice of an
injunction, but the issuance of an in
junction, denying the men the personal,
constitutionally guaranteed rights,
which is involved"

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 14.-The American

here today, will get down to actual
work tomorrow.
The report of the credentials COM
mittee shows that the deliberations or
the body will be controlled by the
miners unions of the country. that
branch of labor having 2307 votes,
while the carpenters are next with 612
votes.
The report Of Secretary Morrison,
which was read this afternoon, showed
that the convention represents 1861, 1,151
trades unionists.
President Gompers today discussed at
length the contempt case against him.
self, John Mitchell and Secretary Nor
rison. This is the case instituted by
the Bucks Stove and Range company
of ST. Louis, and which resulted in
the United States court of the District
of Columbia sentencing GomperS,
Mitchell and Morrison to jail for fail
ure to obey an injunction forbidding
the maintenance of a boycott against
the stove company.
Gompers vigorously attacked the
Moon bill providing legal authority for
the issuance of injunctions, an~author-
ity which the speaker said does not
now exist. Gompers also attacked the
membership OF the judiciary commit
tee of the house for its attitude toward
labor legislation, saying that the ma
jority membership of the committee
was composed of the most docile rep
resentatives whom Speaker Cannon
could have possibly selected.
The opening session was turned into
an insurgent political rally by Owen
Miller, president of the Missouri Fed
GRAFTON of Labor. Jeers greeted the
name of Joseph G. Cannon and loud
applause welcomed the name OF Champ
Clark.

CABLE COMPANY MERGER
TRUE, SAYS CLAPPERT0N
Vice President of Commercial
Corporation Strengthens Re-
port of New Arrangement
Especial to Tho Heraldl


NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-In regard to
the published reports of a merger of
American and English cable con'pa-
MES, which Is expected to result in a
reduction Of rates for transatlantic
service, NJ. r. Clapperton, vice presl-
dent of the Commercial Cable compa-
ny, said today:
'T have read the replies of both Mr..
Vail and Col Clowry to my statement
that Mr. Vail was in Europe Lust sum-
Nmer, and Mr.. Hall is now in Europe
for the purpose Of combining the West
ern Union with the two English cable
companies. Mr.. Vail says am incor-
rect, but Col. Clowry does not wish
to be drawn into a controversy. AS It's
the combination, I quote from the Of
fetal report Of the meeting of the An
glo-American Telegraph company's
shareholders, held in London on July
20 last, when the chairman said:
''It is possible that If we succeed in
identifying our interests with that Of
the American Telephone and Telegraph
company, we may participate more
largely henceforward in the growth of
the cable business. 1 wish to add that
all this last summer and fall the Eng
lish newspapers have been full of arti-
cles discussing this proposed combina-
ton of the Western Union with the
English cable companies, and. 1t is a
we'll known fact the Western Union
has practically arrived at an arrange
ment with the AngloAmerican Tele-
graph company, but is meeting with
obstacles in the direction of the Unit
ed States cable company. I guess that
no one on the other side of the water
would care to deny that Mr.. Vail and
Mr.. Hall had been in Europe for the
purpose of bringing about that COM
bination in opposition to the CONNER
cial Gable company.
"Mr. Wallis proposed combination has
been the common talk of financial Lon
don for nearly six months last past"

CONGRESSMAN MOON
REPLIES TO GOMPERS
Declares Injunction Bill Meant to
Protect Workers

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 14.-Con-
gressman Reuben o. Moon OF this city,
who was assailed in st. Louis today
by Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, in his
annual report, issued a reply this after
noon.
Mr.. Moon says Gompers' statements
'are entirely unwarranted," that the
injunction bill on which the attack is
based, "embodles in 1t the uniform
practice Of the best federal Judges for
over a century"
He says further the bill 1s designed
to protect the laboring man against
the abuse of the injunction process
without notice."
The statement, in part, reads:
MIR. Gompers' assertion that this
bill legalizes the injunction practice Is
entirely untrue, because the regularity
of such practice has been upheld fully
by the highest courts of the country.

EXPECT ALDRICH TO PUSH
CURRENCY REFORM BILL
Senator Believed to Be Preparing
Monetary Measure

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-Financiers
who have returned from the national
monetary commissions conference
held in New York last week, expressed
the belief today that Senator Aldrich
would attempt to accomplish at the
coming short session of congress the
enactment of a currency reform bill
and that the central bank idea would
be one of it's features. Such bill,
it was said, was now in course of
preparation.
A subject of much consideration is
the question as to what disposition
of the $780, 900 of Q per cent bonds
now held by the national banks will
be proposed as to the basis of note
circulation in central bank scheme.
The market value Of those bonds is
now much below their purchase price.
While one plan of caring for these
securities has been to take up with
the postal savings, as is allowed by
the postal savings bank law, 1T is now
considered that such a process might
be too slow, and it is supposed some
other plan will be provided in the bill,
which it is expected will be intro
duced soon after the session opens in
