Text Of Gomper's Statement
Mr.. Goraparss statement said:
$50. Attorney General Daugherty has
promised to put the soft pedal on his
performance, that, ID, that he will not
press for the enforcement OF that pro-
vision of his injunction to invalidate
the constitutional guaranty for the
freedom of speech. He has not said
whether he will insist on fiouting the
constitutional guaranty for the free
dom of the press and asaemblage, nor
has he expressed himself as to whether
ton Of the plain provisions of Sec
ton 90 OF the Clayton antitrust law,
which forbids the issuance of an in
junction as he has secured from Judge
Wilkerson. tse
Senator Borah is a great expounder
and advocate of the principles of the
Constitution and his conference with
Mr.. Daugherty has at least done some
little good
"The arraignment of MIR. Daugherty
by Senator Robinson and the protests
of the press and the people clearly
demonstrates the deep resentment
felt against the unwarranted misuse
of the writ of injunction.
Harding's Action Criticized
"President Harding promised the
railway shopmen that if they accepted
his first plan for the adjustment of the
strike he would use the big stick on
the railroad executives to compel them
to accept it. The shopmen accepted
the Presidents plan, but the carriers
rejected it, and instead of using the
big sticl, upon the railroad executives,
he, through his Attorney General, has
swung the big stick in the form of the
injunction against the shopmen, who
accepted his plan.
81 am confident that with a fair
tolerant spirit the strike can be adj
justed, and all this effort to hog-tie
labor and prevent them from exehcis-
ing their normal, legal and constitu-
tional rights can be speedily effected"
1t was definitely decided that the
labor leaders are to remain here for
their deliberations instead of going to
Washington Saturday, as was sug-
gested. Their sessions will be held
daily in the Wanamaker suite in the
Hotel Ambassador, where an entire
floor has been set aside for the council
members, their clerical forces and the
press representatives.
