TODEFY ORGANIZED LABOR
Republicans In . Congress Under Lead
of Speaker Will Defeat Measures ..
in Interest of Labor
Washington A fight without quar
ter will be fought on the floor of the
house in the near future when the re
publican leaders, under the marshal
ship of Speaker Cannon, will test the
strength with the friends of organized
labor. The committee on judiciary is
now working on the anti-injunction
bills and in a few days will bring out
the Gilbert bill "modified to comply
with the president's recommendations
as given in his" annual message. The
committee will favor a measure which
will restrict the powers of the courts
in the granting of injunctions,, but
which will not attempt to deny the
courts the power to. issue injunctions
without notice The Federation of La
bor strongly indorses the bill Intro
duced by Representative Pearre of
Maryland, which, m all cases requires
notice before an injunction can be
used. - -. ' - ' ' .
Having been forced to meet the is
sue in the last campaign, Speaker Can
non has yielded to the wishes of the
house leaders to bring the fight from
the stump into the house, and the
friends of organized labor will be chal
lenged to bring out their full strength
and demonstrate what the people
through their representatives in con
gress want.
Labor leaders eagerly await the op
portunity to press the issue, and a
memorable debate is ; promised in
which great heat will develop. The
house leaders are confident that, with
an adverse renort on the bill Indorsed
,by organized labor, they will be able
to defeat it, and the feeimg ol reseni
mnt entertained by some mmbers
against President Gompers for the
fright he gave them in the last cam
paign Is leading them to predict that
before the contest Js over Mr. Gom
pers - will be sorry the issues have
been raised.

Ambassador Aokl is Anxious to See
Congress Pass a Naturaliza
tion Law
Washington, D. C Favorable ac
tion by congress on the recommenda
tion of the president in his last an
nual message that an act be passed
specifically providing for the naturali
zation of Japanese who come to the
United States Intending to become
American citizens will go far toward
securing a continuance of the tradi
tional friendly relations between this
country and Japan, in the opinion of
Viscount Aoki, the Japanese ambassador.
Of course." said Viscount Aoki, "no
nation likes to see its subjects leave
to take up a permanent abode in a
foreign land and lose all- relation with
the fatherland, but in many cases if
cannot be helped."
The ambassador expressed the be
lied that there were not so many Jap
anese in this country to take advan
tage of naturalization if it were grant
ed, but he thought that such an oppor
tunity should be afforded them along
with the citizens of other countries.
He said he did not think it. probable
that those Japanese who were emi
grating in large numbers to Hawaii
and the Pacific coast would avail
themselves of naturalization, because
of the fact that 'they rspresented the
poorer classes, and most of them ulti
mately returned to Japan.
Viscount Aoki said he had every
confidence in the outcome of the test
case which will be brought in - the
California courts. -
ed on at the last election had been
carried by a majority of the voters.
It will now become a law. .

The strange religious , frenzy has

Women cry and scream so that they

their elders. The newly converted

Little children vie with one another
