Parker Files Brief in the Su-

HE DECLARES INJUNCTION
Not Violated by "Federationist"--
Leaders Naturally Are Resentful-An
Echo of the Bucks Stove Il
Range Proceedings.

Washington Oct. "a brief was filed
in the supreme court Of the United
States yesterday by former Judge Alton
B. Parker and associated counsel in the
contempt proceedings against Samuel
Gcmpers, John Mitchell and Frank Nor
rison, officials of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, who were sentenced to
imprisonment on charge of disobey-
ing a decree OF the supreme court of the
District Of Columbia, forbidding refer
enees in their official organ to the Bucks
Stove & Range company of st. Louis,
being on the unfair list of the fedora.
tion. The principal defense set forth in
yesterdays brief was that the references
in the official organ Of the federation
did not contain contempt for the court,
because its decree was beyond the power
of the court to declare, as had been
shown by modification of the decree in
the court of appeals.
Naturally, and not unreasonably, the
respondents were bitter over their de-
feat says the brief in discussing the
alleged ofeuses. 1T would be strange,
too, if they were not more or less re-
sentful of an opinion not lacking in
personal denunciations, even to the ex.
tent of charging two Of them lGompers
and Mitchelll with deliberate false ties.
timony. Not mnaturally, then, nor I'M
reasonably, they sought to vindicate
themselves. The American Federationist
would be untrue to itself, untrue to the
great profession of public journalism,
untrue to constitutional liberty and its
own conviction Of freedom both of con
science and Of the press, and to it's
own particular and great constituency,
if in the spirit OF servile fear and hu-
initiation it should refrain from a free,
fearless, honest and uudaumted discus
sion of the questions involved This il
has done This it was entitled to do
This it ought to have done; and this IS
all it has done, In no sentence, nor in
all Of the matter quoted from its col
umns, is there anything alleged which
violated the injunction as modified by

Browne entered a sweeping denial of
any wrongdoing in connection with the

former, and that he talked to many
Democratic representatives.

STOMACH DISTRESS
is ENDED FOREVER
Indigestion, Stomach Gas, Heartburn or
Dyspepsia Will Be Relieved in
Five Minutes with a Little
DiapepSin.

Take your sour, out-of-order stomach
-or maybe you call it indigestion, dys-
pepsia, gastritis or catarrh Of stomach !;
it doesn't matter-take your stomach
trouble right with you to your pharma-
cist and ask him to open 50-cent case
of Pape's Diapepsin and let you eat one
22-grain triangule and see if within five
minutes there is left any trace of your
former misery.
The correct name for your trouble is
food fermentation--foo souring; the di-
gestiye organs become weak, there is
lack OF gastric juice; your food is only
half digested, and YOU become affected
with loss Of appetite, pressure and full
ness after eating, vomiting, nausea
heartburn, gripping in bowels, tenderness
in the pit of stomach, bad taste in
mouth, constipation, pain in limbs, sleep
lessness, beiching Of gas, biliousness, sick
headache, nervousness, dizziness or many
other similar symptoms.
If your appetite is tickle and nothing
tempts you, or you belch gas, or if you
feel bloated after eating, or your food
lies like a lump Of lead on your stomach,
you can make up your mind that at the
bottom of all this there is but one cause
fermentation of undigested food
Prove to yourself in five minutes that
your stomach is as good as any; that
there is nothing really wrong. Stop
this fermentation and begin eating what
you want without fear of discomfort or
misery.
Almost instant relief is waiting for
you. It is merely matter of how soon
you take a little Diapepsin.

This Amount TO be Spent by
Railroads
AGREEMENT IS REACHED
Long Effort to Secure This Result--It
Meants a Great Change in the
Equipment of Rail-
ways.

Washington, Oct. s.-Defnite stand
ards Of safety appliances to be attached
to railway cars and locomotives finally
have been agreed upon after nearly a
third of a century of effort. 1t is esti-
mated that the proposed changes in
equipment will cost the railroads about
S50,000,0 900.
The agreement was reached by a com
mittee appointed last week by the inter-
state commerce commission, after two
days hearing. The committee consisted
Of fifteen men, equally divided between
representatives, Of the operating depart
ments Of railroads, safety appliance in
speetors of the commission and railroad
operatives Radical differences of opin-
ion and judgment were met by eonces-
sions by all interested parties, and the
agreement reached is unanimous as to
all equipment TO be constructed in the
future, except as to the placing of four
sill steps on non-proiecting end box cars.
That matter will have to be determined
by the commission The Pennsylvania
railroad, through its master mechanic,
Mr.. Gibbs, entered objections TO the
transferring OF the hand brake from the
right to the left side OF the cars, and
to the placing Of four ladders on each
car The interstate commerce commits
sion was given six months in which to
frame and make effective suitable stand
ards of safety appliances. The order
of the commission must be promulgated
by the l4th inst. The agreement reached
yesterday viii apply, naturally, only to
new equipment, but the commission,
from time to time, will determine what
the standards shall be on the present
equipment.

While the sugar bounties and the sug-
ar factories were thriving, there were
three factories in the state The one at
Lyons produced about forty.eight tons
