OFT IN THE srILLy NIGHT.

(With apologies to Moore.)
OFT In the stilly night,
Ere slumbers chain has bound ma
Loud yowling brings the light
OF cats a-fightin' round me;
The growls. the spits
or feline fits.
The phrases 1 then mutter,
The shoes that sail
Tell many a tale;
The fight ends with a flutter
Thus, in the Silly night,
Ere sumber's chain has bound me.
Loud yowling brings the light
OF cats a-fightin' round me.
When I remember all
The cats, so grouped togethef
I've seen around me fall
Like leaves in wintry weather,
i feel like one
Who treads alone
Some prison cell deserted,
Whose guards are fled,
Whose jailer dead,
And all but me departed.
Oft in the stiiy night
Ere slumbers chain has bound me,
Loud yowling brings the light
or cats a-fightin round me.

FROM MEASURE BILL
TAFT RECOMMEND

Washington, D. G., March A.
President Gompers unhessitatingly
condemns the anti>injupction bill in
troduced by Representative Moon at
the instance of President Taft. With
out mincing matters, the executive
head of the American Federation Of
Labor declares that not one sclnt1lla
of protection to the workers can come
from this much-lauded bill, upon
which the Republican administration
hopes to make good with organized
labor.
Suppose that the Presidents rec
ommendation had been law when the
Bucks Stove and Range company
petitioned Justice Gould for the in
junction. Would there have been
the slightest variation from the pro-
cedure in the Injunction? No; not
one iota," declared Samuel Gompers.
With the keen legal insight born of
many years battling with corpora
tions determined to destroy labor's
power, Gompers riddled Taft's anti
injunction bill with proofs Of its i'm
potency to alter the present grip of
LuS COu1IS 11C PO4ACSu oNS SAAS
significance of the fact that nowhere
in the proposed bill was there any
reference to any law to be amended
nor statute to be altered.
Turning from the direct question of
the bill, the significance of the attack
upon Commissioner Neill was shown
as proof of the Taft administration
real attitude toward organized labor.
Charles P. Neill has committed the
unforglvable sin, in the eyes OF the
administration, of attempting to OBJ
tain proofs of the horrible conditions
imposed upon American child labor
by some of the most powerful cor
porations His chief, Secretary Ma
gel, is a politician of acuteness, and
it was never expected that he would
allow his subordinate to unearth ac-
tual figures and facts detrimental to
the mills and mines Of friends of the
administration.
Now comes Thomas r. Dawley, 4
discharged special agent Of the la
Dor bureau, and prefers charges
against Commissioner Neill to the ef-
feet that Neill is forcing the figures
of his research to prove conditions in
certain mills that do not exist.
Dawley even goes to the length of
asserting that life in these factories
! is a healthy and beneficial thing for
children, and that Neill's conclusions
are drawn from his imagination.
| It is the candid opinion of Wash
| ington labor leaders that behind DaW-
| ley's charges is a well-planned attack
| upon all the friends of organized Ia
Dor holding any government position.
Taft's anti-injunction bill is blind

| labor may stalk, and kill off their

Gompers, president of the American

General Wickersham Wednesday, that
if, the present American workers

tive and conservative in character, is
outlawed and crushed out of existence
by unfavorab)e legislation and court
decision, it will be followed by an
other movement which will scarcely
be constructive. :
Opposition was made by the labor
leader to the Moon bill, now before

stolen from Cooks trains were found
s. AS far as can be learned, the Mexi-
can court does not accuse Cook Of par
ticipating in the robberies, but held
him on charge Of 'contributory
negligence" He was called to the
Third Criminal court on August 80
last, presumably as a witness, and,
after some, questions put to him by
Judge Pa1afox,.: was committed to the
penitentiary, where he has since re-
manned, despite all the efforts Of his
brother conductors to secure for him
a speedy trial.
The railroad officials do not connect
Cook with the robbcries, and in state
ments issued by the Guadalajara divi-
sion of the Order Of Railway Conduc-
tors it! is set forth that the Mexican
brakemen who committed the rob
berries said the American conductor
had no knowledge Of the thefts.
An incident which aroused feeling
was the refusal or Judge Palafox I'd
accept bail for the American conduc-
tor while accepting bond for the three
merchants. -,
Cook came to Guadalajara two
years ago. His home is in Fort Scott,
Kan, where his parents live. His wife
died from smallpox few months
after their arrival here.

Sentences Conductor For :
"Contributory Negligence

Guadalajara, Mexico, March A.
Judge Palafox says he will carry out
the recommendations of the prosecut-
ing attorney and sentence James A.
Cook, the American conductor, to two
years and ten months. The prosecut-
ing attorney held that Cook was guilty
of criminal negligence.
The prisoner will have the right Of
proprietary liberty" which means
that after half of the sentence has
been served his release on parole will
be possible.
Judge Palafox has signified his will
ingness to allow Cook bail in a sum Of
from 5000 to 5000 pesos, $500 to
$4,000 gold.
The history Of the Cook case ex-
tends back many months, and has to
do with the robbery Of freight trains
on the Guadalajara division of the
National Railways. Federal officers
reported that Mexican brakemen on
Cooks train crew were throwing off
merchandise while the trains were
pulling into Guadalajara at night, and
that the merchandise was picked up
by confederates and later sold to local
merchants. Fourteen arrests were
made, the number including three
merchants-two Frenchmen and a
Spaniard-in whose possession goods
