fectly willing that q vote shall be post
poned. Temperance supporters are delug-
ing members with warnings that they
must not crack on the liquor question.

THREAT OF BREAK WITH
WILSON IN THE SENATE
Southerners to Oppose Nomina-
ton of a Negro to Be Re-
COrdcr Of Deeds.

WASHINGTON. June 10.-A threatened
break between the President and men,
bers OF his own party in the Senate from
the South was indicated to-day on ac-
count OF the announced intention OF the
President TO appoint negro as Recorder
OF Deeds In the District of Columbia.
The office Is now filed by Henry Lin
coin Johnson, a negro appointee OF Presl-
dent Taft. Johnson halls from Georgia
Senator Hoke Smith recently pointed out
to the President what he considered good
reasons why the incumbent should be re-
moved. He learned, 10 his surprise and
disappointment that II the President re-
moved the incumbent he would appoint a
negro to nil the place.
This was strenuously objected TO moi
only by Senator Smith but by other
Southern Senators. The President In said
TO have informed some of the Southern
Senators who came TO protest that he wa
under some commitment made by his
managers In the last campaign that ne
groes should not be deprived OF offices
now enjoyed by the race and that when
incumoents were put out their places
should be flled b. negroes.
one or the Presidents callers Ia said
to have pointed out 10 him that such a
poAcy and such a pledge was hardly con-
sistent with the oft proclaimed state
rnsnt on behalf OF the Administration
mat II came into power unpledged so far
as political promises OF patronage were
involved
The cftice Of Recorder OF Deeds in the
District OF Columbia is one that Presi-
hen' Clevelanc recognized as the exclusive
property OF the negro Democrats. His

G0MPERS BRAGS OF
CONGRESS MASTERY
His Men There Must BE Lis
tened To, He Says at
Cooper Union.

Samuel Gompers. speaking IN Cooper
Union last night before an audience OF
400 predicted that the Senate would pass
the Clayton bill and complete the work
OF the House OF Representatives in ex-
emptlng labor unions from prosecution
under the sherman antitrust law. Mr..
Gompers. with Representative Frank l..
Buchanan Of Illinois. exulted over the
mastery that labor organizations exert In
Congress and asserted that labor has
gotten 10 a situation where II no longer
fears Judges 'who hear their masters
voice"
There were II good many Socialists In
the small crowd and they annoyed Mr..
Gompers with occasional Misses, hector
ings and interruptions.
Mr.. Gompers said that the labor unions
had been hshting for twenty-four years TO
abolish n kind OF special privilege which
has destroyed republics.
"ln the old days" he said, "tyrants who
were robbing the people OF their rights al
ways found soothsayers who would clothe
tyranny with the forms OF law That Is
just what we have been having In this
country. The capitalists and plutocrats
who wanted everything for themselves
to suit their masters. We are getting
past that sort OF thing now because OF the
great growth of the labor movement
We have men in Congress who have to
be listened to-"
Mr., Gompers reviewed various prosecu-
lions OF union labor officials who were
charged under the sherman law with con-
spiracy. declaring that such officials had
never been guilty OF conspiracy but were
merely attempting 10 get Justice and fair
treatment for workers in various States.
Arguing that labor unions have every
right to be exempted from the provisions
of the Sherman law, Mr.. Gompers said
workers who are nssociatlng for a fair
disposal OF the fruits of their brains and
their hands cannot be classed with corpo-
rations that are disposlng OF iron or sugar
OF copper or what not. We have been
fighting for that principle since 1890.
Jusglery has beaten US many times. but
we have grown so powerful that we can
not be trlcked any more. l am as GER
tain that the Clayton BILL II II goes before
the Senate. will pass as I am that the sun
viii rise tomorrow morning"
The resolutions adopted by the meeting
contained these principal announcements
Whereas organizations or workers are
different In purpose and in nature from
the trusts and monopolies which the Sher-
man antitrust law was intended to regu-
late in that these organizations control
only the power Of labor. the power in
separable from the personality and the
body OF the individual worker himself.
and monopolies and trusts control the
concrete things which are the products OF
that labor.
RESOLVED. That this mass meeting of
working people indorse the labor sections

 President A. Lawrence Lowell has sanctioned the appointment of a com znittee of graduates, who will begin immediately an active campaign in. solicitation of funds among Harvard graduates for the eventual erection of the new building.
 Many Harvard alumni have already signi1ed their intention to contribute among whom is Hamilton Fish, IT,, who recently offered $5,o00 toward the fund to be given at the time when other alumni contributions were
 Harvard undergraduates last year. through a committee of the student council, made a canvass of the uni- versity and obtained $15,O00 in pledges to the fund. While this amount will only in the smallest degree aid toward the raising of the million dollar fund intended for use in the construction of the new gymnasium, the under graduate spirit has convinced the fac uity of the Harvard students sheer lty in seeking a new building
