the end of conference with Judge
Curbajal the feleral peace envoy, last

tored in Mexico within a short time
Judge Carbajal brought some PROPOSE
tions," said Senior Madero to an Asso-
ciated Press representative, "and made
some notifications in our original
propositions In fact, these concessions,
slight though they may be, were made
to show our willingness to meet the
government half way; and, after our
military triumphs, it more than indi-
Gates our good disposition to treat for
peace.
Madero declared that he would have
another conference tonight with Judge
Carbajal BY that time the Judge will
have received a reply from the Mexican
government to the proposals discussed
with Madero last night Madero said
that the next move should be made by
the Diaz government but has talked as
if to-day there would be a favorable
reply from the government. This would
end the revolution Immediately.
There was evident, however deter
mination to prosecute the war should
the government refuse to accede. Madero
gave the impression that the affair had
reached the point of an ultimatum and
that the die would be cast to-day

Says James Duncan, First Vice Presi-

Quincy, Mass, May l6.-@It is a great
victory for u.s. said James Duncan, first
vice president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, when informed yesterday
of the decision of the supreme court of
the United States in respect to the con-
tempt cases against Messrs. Gompers,
Mitchell and Morrison Mr.. Duncan,
who is also the secretary of the Granite
Cutters International union, said that
the decision of the supreme court was
what the labor leaders had been expect
ing.
Il am very glad to hear of this de-
cision," he said 1T is only what we
have been contending, that the Amer
ican Federation of Labor should be al
lowed the right of free speech The
court decides that this cases is civil
rather than a criminal one. This places
us in the same position as all other
people. We never claimed to be inn
mune from the laws of the land, but we
did contend that we should have the
same rights as are allowed to all others.
The injunctive process took away our
rights, but the decision announced to-
day places us ON a level with all other
people"
