Metal Trades to Take the
Stump in Congressional
Districts.

Cincinnati June S.-Protests Of organ-
lied labor, as voiced here today at pre-
liminaries for the annual convention next
week of the American. Federation of La
Dor, centered against the supreme court
the congress and state legislatures in
general.
Samuel Gompers president Of the fed
Grafton, in addressing club of business
men, interpreted the supreme court de-
cision i'll the celebrated Coronado coal
case as negation of the right to strike,
and declared that organized labor would
appeal to congress for new legislation
setting aside the decision.
In criticising the supreme court, Mr..
Gompers said that he expected to be
taken strictly Cor account" for his ut
terances. adding that Il do not run away

But. it has come to a pretty pass" he
continued, when an American citizen

cison of the courts. Anyone, if he feels
so disposed, can criticise evensthe presi-

what flesh are the members of the su-
preme court that they are above criticism
beyond that of the president Of the

Delegates to the meeting Of the metal
trades department of the federation by

state legislatures as enemies of labor

Mclean in Tariff
Fight on Cutlery
Connecticut Senator Success
fully Contended for the
Retention of Duties-To
Abandon Night Sessions.

Washington, June s.-The senate
abandoned tonight, temporarily at least,
its night sessions for consideration of the
tariff bill. hut it had difficulty in getting
away owing to the fact that record
vote on an amendment, demanded tust
before the hour agreed upon for a recess,
disclosed that quorum was not present.
After fifty minutes, and some activity. by
seant-at-arms, sufficient number
of senators to make uo the necessary 40
was obtained and the session was brought
to a close.
Whether day sessions alone are to be
the rule for the future will depend, Sena-
tor McCumber, republican, North Dakota,
in charge of the bill, said. upon how
closely the senate applies itself to con-
sideration of the tariff. Committee
amendments in only three paragraphs of
the bill were disposed of today, and this
progress was not as satisfactory as those
in charge of the measure had hoped for.
Senator McCumber has urged senators
on his side of the committee to eliminate
as far as possible discussion of extrane-
Gus matters. and a similar request of
democratic senators was renewed today
by Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
minority leader in the tariff debate
Committee amendments disposed of to-
day had to do with duties on table,
butcher and other knives and scissors
and shears
The committee amendments taken up
today led to long fights with Senator
Jones, democrat, New Mexico, opposing
the duties proposed, and Senators Nc
