LABOR DEFENSE
ENDS IN COURT
Attorney Ralston Delivers a
Strong Argument for
Union Leaders.
CASE NAY CLOSE TO-DAY

You are not a national reformatory
either for the purpose OF checking or
furthering anarchy. as Mr.. Darlington
seems to argue; you are here simply as
a court of law to decide on questions OF
law" said jackson II. Ralston. OF coun-
sci for Samuel Gompers. John Mitchell,
and Frank Morrison, in his closing ar
gument for the accused labor leaders
yesterday afternoon TO the court consist
ing OF five justices of the District Su-
preme Court, in the contempt Of court
proceedings.
Mr.. Ralston declared that District At
tCrney Wilson had appealed to the court
to exercise "a new and unheard OF
function" He has appealed to the
court to stand as an impregnsble bull
wark." explained the lawyer. against

depart from its usual and well-dehned
functions and rules to check this wrong

this court throw these men down to this
minotaur Of his imaginary danger"
should Not BE Personal.
Counsel for the accused labor leaders
said that the offense charged against his
clients was too personal for the Justices
sitting in Judgment to try II, as II con-
cerned an offense committed against
them, precluding, no matter how hard
they might try. an absolutely fair decl-
sion and judgment.
We are living in q reconstructiye

but for the future, when Il will be looked
upon with a different eye and ? clearer
vision
Arguments VIII Conclude To-day.
Judge Parker finished his argument
and was followed by Mr.. Ralston. Mr..
Parker praised the courage OF Samuel
Gompers and his love OF truth, saying
that he could not maintain himself at
the head OF the Federation OF Labor for
nearly thirty years unless he was an
able and a good man. Judge Parker
took up the various charges, and eX-
T.lained that most of them were single
sentences made in the course OF extended
Political speeches In a great cause. These
speeches were made for the purpose of
arousing support for the men running
for Congress who were favorable TO the

 It is also reported from Flor ence that the oxuberant chief ex- ecutive has brand new stunt which he purposes to pull off along about the time the mer- cury arises to the vicinity of the skylight. It is his plan, accord. ing to this information, to give vacations to as many prisoners as possible through the heated term. They will leave Florence, unattended even by watchers, :" it is said; but before their de- parture. each and every one will pledge his sacred honor to re- turn.
 While the governor was at the prison the other day quite an in- teresting little aggregation of .'unfortunates' arrived. One was Dan Reynolds. released several months ago for the sec end time, and who now returns for fifteen years sentence. Another was the negro who killed his partner near Tucson the day after being paroled. Still another of the 't.unfortun- ates" was a Mexican, who came back for second term. All these 'unfortunates'' were lodged in the prison.

With the adoption by the Ari- zona legislature of the joint re- solution which has been intro duced in both houses, providing for constitutional amendment for the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people, it will only remain for two more states to adopt it to make the required two-thirds of the states. With its adoption by Arizona, thirty state legislatures will have adopted it. and thirty two is two-thirds of all the states. The probability is that within the next few months the other two will pass the measure, when it will be up to congress to pre- pare and submit the amendment for the voters or state legisla- lures to adopt or reject.
