CONTEMPT CASE STILL ON.
Congressman Sulzer Testifies Before
Justice Wright and Admits He
Knew Boycott Was On When
He Delivered Speech.

Washington-The contempt proceed
ings against President Gompers, Vice
President Mitchell and Secretary Morri-
son are again in progress. The last wit
ness for the Federation officials was
Congressman Sulzer. 1t will be remem-
bered that after the injunction was is
sued against the American Federation
of Labor in the now famous case. Con-
gressman SulZer made a speech in the
house of representatives in which he in
corporated an editorial from the Ameri-
can Federationist, containing a discus
sion of the controversy. Thirty thou
sand of these speeches were mailed to
all sections of the country. The con-
gressman in his testimony before Justice
Wright admitted that he knew the boy
colt was on and also that large num-
ber of copies of his speech were franked.
He was pressed for an explanation as
to why he had made the speech on
March II, 1908, the day after the meet
ing of the executive council of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor and the day
before the protest conference of the Ia
Dor officials. In answer Mr.. Sulzer said.
81 make speeches when the spirit moves
me and l can get recognition from the
speaker. This matter of the Injunction
deemed TO be of sufficient public mo-
ment to demand wide publicity. The
Congressional Record being one of the
cheapest agencies for publicity, | simply
used that means of placing the subject
before the citizens at large" In answer
to questions from the attorneys as to
how many copies were distributed, Con-
gresham Sulzer replied: 81 don't know
for sure, but l only regret that there
were not more sent out" The attorneys
endeavored to bring out that the con-
gresham had been asked by some Off
cial of the Federation to make the
speech Incorporating the editorial, but
the congressman stated that he had
been receiving the American Fedora
Zionist regularly for many years and
that he inserted the editorial in his
speech on his own initiative. With the
testimony of Congressman Sulzer the
Federation case is closed, and after re-
buttal by the prosecuting committee,
arguments will be had before the full
court

The LAWRENCE STRIKE.

Washington-From reports in the
daily press and communications re-
ceived at the office of the American
Federated of Labor, the Lawrence strike
presents state of affairs which calls
for condemnation of the state and CITY
officials. The brutality that has been
shown, together with the usurpation of
the rights of the people, is deplorable
and demands not only a searching in
vestigation, but the application of Sc
we're penalties to those who assume to
be greater than the law Three resolu-
tions have been introduced in congress
seeking an investigation, and the presi
dent of the United States has instructed
Attorney General Wickersham to ascer-
tain whether the federal law has been
violated. Representative Butler Ames
who represents the district which in
cludes Lawrence, is in that city making
a personal investigation and it is re-
ported that he has said that These men
and women cannot suffer much longer
They may be compelled to rise in armed
revolt against the oppression, if the
present state of affairs is allowed to con-
tinue." There are, in Lawrence also
agents of the department of commerce
and labor watching developments Pur-
suant to the resolutions introduced in
the house, a hearing was held before
the rules committee Saturday, March 2.

in looking over the report of the last
quarter OF 1911 for expense of mechani-

that it is very poor compared with that
of the same quarter of 1910. l don't
want TO say that Evanston is the only
point that makes a poor showing, as
other points are away below, but l will
say that Evanston is the lowest. No
doubt we are not fixed with the same
kind of men at this time that we were
a year ago, but l notice that we have 65
per cent. more men at that point for
the quarter than the same quarter OF
the previous year; comparing the two
quarters | find that We got 81 per cent
less work out of the shops at that point
wish that you would take the matter
up with Mr.. White and see if We can do
better in the future as we are being Sc
verely criticised from Mr.. Scott's office
in Chicago. Hoping that We do better
in the next quarter,-I remain, yours very
