Washington, Nov. 13-President
Wilson is back at his desk at the
White House today after an absence
of two months, and prepared to take
up important foreign problems which
have been in allegiance pending the
election, as well as domestic ques-
tions. These included the German
submarine situation, the Mexican pro-
blem and a number of Federal ap-
pointments.
The President expected first to con-
slider the submarine question which is
admittedly serious.
He has not considered any changes
in the cabinet according to admins
tration officials, who characterize as
premature reports that he had decid-
ed on such changes. It is possible,
however, that one or two cabinet Of

BEGIN 3 WEEKS
TERM OF COURT
Judge Frank e. Everett Convenes
Circuit Court Here ut Ten This
Ill
Morning.

| Circuit Court convened here thi
morning for three weeks term, tn
first two weeks to be devoted to tn
civil docket, which is very heavy, an
the last week to be taken up with tn
criminal docket. Judge Frank E. Ev
erett, Judge of this District calle
court to order this morning prompt,
at ten o'clock.
The grand jury was called an
sworn in, taking only a few minute
to get the 18 men necessary to fiji
the jury. Judge Everett then pro
ceeded to deliver his charge to thu
jury upon their duty and the worl
that they must do.

tory remarks in which he compliment.

ages enjoyed and the enforcement Of
the law SO thoroughly, the Judge
stressed certain laws that are more
generally violated and told the jury
that they should investigate conditions
thoroughly and indict where they
found violations.
Judge Everett first spoke of the pis-
tol-toting practice and said that the
crime started like everything else,
with a slight violation of the law,
which if unnoticed would soon result
in the person becoming an habitual
violator of the state laws. He urged
that where ever violators were found
indictments be returned, and he prom
ised to do the rest.
Speaking of the unlawful retailing
Of whiskey, Judge Everett commended
the new quart law very highly and
said that it has been the means of
practically doing away with the blind
tiger in this state. He told of the
last term Of court in Sunfower Coun-
ty when not blind tiger case was up
for trial, the first court without q
blind tiger case since saloons were
voted out of that county. The Judge
stated that it took just half the time
to try the criminal docket in Sunfow-
er county than usual, and gave as the
reason the lack Of whiskey cases.
I The Court spoke briefly but to the
point upon the violation of laws where
the moral side Of life is considered
and told the jury wherever such cases
were found indictments should be re-
turned.
Last but not least he warned the
jury about information leaking out Of
the jury room to the outside public
concerning the actions Of the jury.

In discussing international labor re-
lations the report speaks of the effort
to have World Labor Congress held
at the time and place Of the holding
Of a World Peace Congress at the end
Of the European War and rejection
Of the suggestion by organized labor
in Great Britain and Germay, which
necessarily requires that our propo-
s;tion be abandoned" This attitude
led to the adoption Of this suggestion
by the Council:
"Since the first proposal submitted
by the A. F. Of l.. to the labor or
ganizations of Europe has been defin-
itely rejected by them, we suggest
that the organized labor movements
of those countries that shall parti-
pate in the general peace conference
to determine terms and conditions of
peace at the close of the war, shall
urge upon their respective govern
ments that the wage earners shall be
represented in an official commission
from their respective countries. The
| same policy ought to be pursued also
by organized labor movements of neu-
tral countries if it shall be determined
that neutral countries also will parti.
pate in the general peace conference.
Thus, representative wage earners
would be seated with other represen-
tatives of the nations in general con.
ferences connected with the formula.
ton Of peace terms. In this way the
ideals and needs Of wage-earners
would be presented and considered by

Baltimore, Nov. 13--The thirty

can Federation of Labor opened 6

itics and domestic affairs during the
last year were set forth at length ii

Council at the American Federation Of
Labor, presented here today to the
Federation's Thirty-sixth annual con.
ventiOn.
The membership of the Federation
is given at 2,071, 1886 on September 3d.
the close Of the fiscal year, an increase
OF about 125,000 over the previous
year and Of more than 100000 in the
nineteen years Of it's existence. There
are 2l,711 local unions in the fedora
ton and As state federations. Re-
ceipts for the year are shown at $404,
407 with cash balance at it's close Of
SS9,S80.
The report closes with a plea to
workers to continue their efforts for
better conditions through organiza-
ton and cooperation.
"There are opening up before the
labor movement" it says, "tremen-
dous opportunities to mold and in
Huence the foundations Of economic,
social and political organization. It is
hitting to call attention to our well
known slogan which represents the
way by which present progress was
hieyed-Agitate! Educate! Organ
ize!-much has already been achieved
through organization and the toilers
are just beginning to realize the great
opportunities that lie before them;
only through better and stronger or
ganization can all enter that heritage.
"ltis but fitting that we should ex-
rress our deep appreciation Of the re.
s2ect and confidence manifested TO-
wards us BY the great rank and file Of

first model in the endeavor to protest
wage-earners from "the prevented ap-
plication Of antitrust legislation and
from being the abuse Of the writ of
injunction"
The decision, the report says, is
based on the theory that labor is
! property" which it asserts is dogma
tic ruling and based upon past decis-
ions OF judges. The court is charged
with not making proper investigation
in deciding such a case and its meth
DDS are characterized as "unscholarly,
unscientific, and out of harmony with
the purposes of real justice" The re-
port says the Executive Council will
consider the case to determine wheth-
er further steps may be taken.
In connection with decisions affect
ing labor by Federal Courts the report
refers to the noted Danbury Hatters'
case.
'The great wrong that was done in
the Danbury Hatters' case" it says,
may be eradicted after long years.
The aged, infrm Danbury Hatters
have been ordered to pay the Shylock
award claimed by the Antiboycott As
sociation. The shadow of the Httters'
case which for years hung like a
threatening pail over the labor move-
ment still has power to menace.

Of American soldiers captured by Car

1T was at this time," the report
goes on, shat a request was made to
President Gompers that he make a
personal appeal to General Carranza
to release the United States soldiers"
The telegram asking release "in the
name of common justice and humanity
and a better understanding between
the two countries" and to avoid "the
horrors Of war" was recited and the
report goes on to say that "that same
evening extra papers announced GEN

led to an understanding which made
more general feeling that the people

Reviewing antitrust and injunction
regulation the report says:
"The enactment Of the labor provis-
ions of the Clayton Antitrust Act
has forced employers who wish to use
antitrust legislation and the injunc-
tive process to assist them in defeat
ing the efforts of employees to secure
higher wager and better conditions
of work, to transfer thei refforts from
federal to state courts. The result
makes increasingly important the nec-
essity for the enactment of state
laws to prevent the abuse of judicial
agencies and the prevention of legis-
lation to exclusive service in behalf

of employers. The uses to which
islation have been put have made vir-
tually strike-breaking institutions and

condition is subversive to proper re-

Such condition the report says
resulted in the framing of model
