, DENVEJR, Colo., July 9.-F,olIowlng It the
full and correct test of the Injunction
: plank a adopted by the full subcommittee
of the committee on resolution, and a It is
fcxpeoted to be incorporated In the platform:
"The courts of Justice are the bulwark
I tt our Hbertles. and It Is our purpose to
'.maintain their dignity. Our party has riven
j to the bench a long line of distinguished
! Judges, we hare added to the respect and
confidence In which thl department must
. be Jealously maintained. We resent the
! attempt of the republican party to raise
I a falsa Issue rennectlns- the Judiciary. It
St an unjust reflection upon a great body
' of our eltlxens to assume that they lack
i respect for the courts.
It Is the function of the courte to Inter
pret the lawt which the people create, and
If the lawt appear to work economic, so
clal or political Injustice. It It our duly
to chan o them. The only basis upon which
tha Integrity of our courts can stand Is
that of unswerlng Justice and protection of
life, personal liberty and property. If Ju
diclal processes may be abused, we should
arusrd them agalrat abuse.
"Experience has proven the necessity of
a modification of the present law relating
to Injunctions, and we reiterate the pledge
of our national platformt of 1R9S and
1904 In favor of the measure which passed
the United States senate In UWS, but which
a republican congress hat ever tlnce re-
fused to, enact; relating to contempts in
federal court and providing for trial by
jury In cases of Indirect contempt.
Judicial Practices.
"Questions of Judicial practice have arisen
specially In connection with Industrial dis
putes. We deem the parties to all judicial
proceedings should be treated with rigid
Impartiality, and that injunctions should
not be Itsued In any cases In which In
junctions would not Issue If no Industrial
dispute were Involved.
"Tha expanding organisation of Industry
make It essential that there should be no
abridgement of the right of wage earners
and producers to organise for the prolec
tlon of waget and the Improvement of
- labor conditions to the end that such labor
organizations and their members should
not be regarded as Illegal combinations In
restraint of trade.
"Ws favor the eight-hour day on all
government work.
"Ws pledge the democratic party to the
enactment of a law by congress, aa far as
the ederal Jurisdiction extends, for a gen
eral employers' liability act covering In
Jurv to body or lost of life of employes.
"Wa pledge the democratic party to the
enactment of a law creating a department
of labor, represented separately In the presl
dems cabinet, which department shall In
elude the subject of mines and mining."
At 1J:46 p. m. the subcommittee com-
pltid Its work and after referring the
plal'urm to a committee o( five on revi
sion Issued a call for a meeting of the
full committee at 1:15 p. m.
The Railroad Plank.
The railroad plank was adopted by the
full subcommittee as follows:
"We assert the right of congress to ex
erclse complete control over Interstate com
merce and the right of each state to exer
cise Just as complete control over commerce
within Its borders.
''We demand such enlargement of the
powtrs of the Interstate Commerce com
mission as may be necessary to enable It
to protect persons and plnces from dls
crimination and extortion md to compel
the rsllroads to perforin their duties as
common carriers. We favor the efficient
supervision and rote regulation of railroad
engaged In interstate commerce. To thl
end we recommend the physical values of
the ra.lrmd by the Interstate Commerce
commission, such valuation to take Into
consl.Jeruilon the original cost of con
struction Mid all element of value that
will render the valuation made fair and
just. We fuvor such legislation as will
prohibit the railroads from engaging in
business, which brings them Into compete
tlon with their shippers, also legislation
which will assure such reduction In
traasportatloneratei as conditions will per
mit, .care being t.:ken to avoid reduction
that woulri compel a reduction of wages,

legitimate investments.
"Ws heartily approve the lawt prohibit

A Message From
The President
fiOOO CHEER FROM THE WHITE HOUSE
The Brown Shoe Company's shipments for
the montn of June were JS52. 503.0s, and,
according- to published reports, we believe
these are i he gnu i em shipments of any shoe
house for the same period In this country'.
During the past spring shipping season,
from December 12. ISO?, to Juiy 1. lu. we
show a total lost In shipments of UW9.076.2O
over the tame period of the preceding year,
but as our shlpmeuls show a gain of over
One Million dollars per year for the last
five successive years, and, as our shipments
for the first six months of 1907 were one
million dollars (ll.iiiO.noo) greater then our
shipments were for the first six months
of ls0. our business for the first half of
the present your Is very encouraging,
especially In view of the fact that our sales
department does not remember of a con
dition (unless it may have been 13
when the retailors were so universally
disposed to defer placing orders for goods
Intended for future use.
However for the past four weeks we
have been on the gnln side In sales except
for one week, ard we believe that our
Incoming Suelness during July and
August wl'.l show a good Increase for
these months, also that the same will be
the case for the lait four months of the
rear. If the crops of the country are a
air average, aa now seems to be the Indi
cations, and that our Company's shipments
for the year 1901 will show a nice gain
ever 1907.
Ws also believe the general business of
the country for the laat six months of
this year will reflect the short purchases
of the first six months In the way of a
material Increase In volume.
Our eight great factories are now turn
ing out their respective specialty brands
with a greater degree of excellence than
ever before In the history of our country.

The Injunction plank aa adopted oraitl
the requirement of notice before the In
stitution of injunction suits; the view of th
suSicommlttee being tha: tne necessity fo
notice Is obviated by this provision that
labor disputes shall be treated In this con
nection the same as other controversies.
The plank as adopted does provide for
Jury trials in proceedings for violation of
Injunction ordert.
Thlt Is the essence of the Injunction pro
vision which has been drawn by the sub
committee of three, consisting of George
Fred Wiliams of Msssachussts, Alton B.
Parker of New York and Jerry Sullivan of
Iowa.
Satisfies Labor Leaders.
The plar.k Is exactly what was asked for
by President Samuel Compere of the Amer
ican Federation or. L&Dor, ana is unurrem
to nave been appro-ed by him as drawn.
Mr. Bryan was telegraphed to last night
on behalf of the protesting railway men
and lold that the provision as drawn was
Impracticable and Incapable of administra
tion by any Judge. -
Thi Injunction provision Is contained In
what will be known as the lsbor plank of
the piatform. This plank declares also for
an e'eht-hour day and for a comprehensive
emp'iyers" liability act
Wnen Mr. Gompers was heard by the
resolutions committee' he was asked many
questions us to his demand for the aboli
tion f the Injunction In labor disputes. He
sU'.el positively that those he represented
wera not asking for notice before an In
Junction should lhsue, but wanted the entire
abolition of thelnjunction process In labor
dlsp-.tes, except 1n such cases as it might
bo proper to use the process had no labor
dispute existed. He contended that If this
detiiid were met it would do awsy with
the hardships he claimed organized labor
lial suffered at the hands of the courts
Railroad Men Object.
Application to be heard by the commit
tee oralnart the plank was at once made
by H. R. Fuller, representing the broth
erhoods of railway employes. It It con
tended that no law could be enacted which
would give a Judge the basis of a decision
as t' whether or not the writ would apply
In iny given case where a labor dispute
did or did not exist.
The telegram tent Mr. Bryan laat night
In opposition to the "no notice" Injunction
plant by H. R. Fuller and H. E. Willis,
representing railroad employes, follows
Tno subcommittee of democratic con
vention on injunctions Is opposed to recom
mending plank requiring notice. As the
dul authorised representatives of the
Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers,
Firemen and Trainmen, having a member
ship of 260,000, we respectfully ask your co
operation In having such a plank adopted,
as wo think It highly Important. Cannot see
how democratic party can be embarrassed
by uch plank, as President Roosevelt hat
recommended such legislation -at least five
times, and Mr. Taft favorea It In Cooper
Union speech, and In reply to questions
pronounded by Mr. Lewis of Ohio."
When the committee met at 10 o'clock
the subcommittee was tttll unprepared to
make full report. The labor and railroad
plankt were still Incomplete, but It was
stated that they would be In thape by
noon, possibly earlier. In the meantime
the committee took up other questions and
confidence was expressed that the com
mittee would be prepared to report to
the convention early In tha afternoon.
Work Negative In Character.
The subcommittee proceeded with ttt
labors In the presence of the full committee
and when planks were presented by the
tmall subcommittee, took them up for dis
cussion regardless of the presence of the
members of the full committee. The work
of the early morning was largely of a
negative character and consisted In the
main of what had been done prevlosuly.
The Income tax provision and the provi
sions requiring foreign corporations to sub
mit to tha laws of the states In which they
do business were both knocked out on
legal objections made by Judge Parker,
Senator Daniel and others. The lawyert
also attacked the passage permitting the
Interstate Commerce commission to Initiate
rates and at 11 o'clock It looked as If this
paragraph would follow the others.
Lawyers Have Inning;.
The discussion aroused much feeling, and
tome of the laymen were not tlow In de
claring that Mr. Bryan'! principle! were
being sacrificed to meet the technical de
mands of the legal profession. The rate
provision was a feature of the railroad
plank, at It was reported by the subcom
mittee, on railroads, of which Mr. Sullivan
of Iowa Is chairman. He supported It
strenuously Mr. Bulllvan also found oc
casion to defend the plank against attack!
on the provision for basing rate! on the
physical valuation of railroad!, with which
the conservative lawyers found much fault.
The entire plank was sent back tb the sut
committee to be redrafted.
Railroad and Tro.t Planks.
The subcommittee received and about
noon adopted the railroad plank at re
vised by the small committee. It provides
for the valuation of railroads by the Inter
state Commerce commission and would
authorise that commission to control rail
road rates.
The subcommittee adopted also the trust
plank, which would give the Interstate
Commerce commission supervision over all
corporations doing an Interstate business
of more than 11,000,000 a year.
The last plank to be acted upon by the
subcommittee was one demanding the es
tablishment of a system for the guaranty
of deposits In the national banks; an alter
native provision was Inserted recommend
ing the establishment of postal savings
banks, In the event thst the bank guaranty
provision Is not carried Into effect.

OVEHTIRES TO QUIET GUFFEY
Hla Men Declare Bryan Followers Of.
fereH Reunite Compromise.
DENVER. July 9 Colonel Guffey, who
waa the storm center of last night's fight
on tha floor of the convention, was early In
consultation with his lieutenants today,
and with the element! outside the delega
tion who saw In last night's vote a re
maining chance to overcome the Bryan
strength. He had little to say on the re
sult, except to remark:
"You will notice I waa present when the
voting took place."
He could not discuss the rote In detail,
but seemed to think that while It demon'
ttrated a heavy current of opposition to the
plana of those controlling the convention,
Mr. Bryan might develop greater strength
on a presidential ballot than he did on
the question laat night. But tha total of
W7 votes Inspired the allied opposition with
new hopes.
It developed in this connection that
strong effort was made to avoid the vote
of last night, aa the Bryan managers de-
tired not to have an Issue which would
disclose the strength of the two contending
elements, ina Uurfey men say that the
report on credentials waa delayed a full
hour, while overtures were made to Colonel
Guff.V not l4 Drnt th minnptl.

thus avoiding a division and an open vote. I
According to the Ouffey men, distinct over
tures wen made to tha Pennsylvania levler
to secure this end, namely, thst he should
remain as national committeeman from
Pennsylvania. Rut while this would have
Insured his continued leadership. It Is said
that Colonel Ouffey flatly refused to con
sider the proposition, at It Involved the
sacrifice of the Philadelphia delegates, for
whom he had contended.- The Guffey men
are confident that these overtures, de
signed to avoid a vote, csme as a result
of the advice to the Bryan men from
Lincoln.
The Pennsylvania delegation hai not yet
caucused under its new basis of member
ship, which places the Guffey anti-Bryan
element In a minority, but a re-arrangement
of leadership and voting strength will
probably be made today.

Bryan Man Elected National Cora
mltteeman from Pennsylvania.
DENVER, Colo., July 9 The defeat of
Colonel James M. Guffey of FUUburg.
national committeeman from Pennsylvania,
as a ctndldtte for re-election waa accomp
lished by the faction hesded by James Kerr
of Clearfield, at a meeting held In the
convention auditorium today. Immediately
following the adjournment of the first ses
sion of the convention. Colonel Guffey
and his followers left the hall and refused
to participate In the caucus. James Keir
was elected national committeeman, 41 Vi
votes being cast for, and none against him.
D. C. Dewltt, a delegate, declined to vote,
stating that he doubted the regularity of
the proceedings. The caucus was held on
the floor of the convention by the anti
Guffey delegatet without leaving their
seats after the convention adjourned, lha
Guffey supporters departed quietly and the
business of the meeting proceeded rapidly
and without ipeclal Incident.
The delegation also selected member! of
tha various committees of the convention.
All balloting wai by roll call. The antl
Guffry delegate! attempted to hold a meet
ing during the morning, following the seat
ing of the eight contesting delegates from
Philadelphia by the convention last night.
The seating of the delegates and the outt
Ing of the Guffey men changed the com
plexion of the delegation and took the con
trol from the hands of Colonel Guffey. A
meeting was called for 9 o'clock but was
postponed until 10 o'clock and finally until
after the first session of the convention
because the Guffey supporters In the dele
gation found It inconvenient to attend.
No announcement has been mado by
Colonel Guffey or hla followers as to
whether they Intend to contest tho validity
of today's action of the delegation. Some
of those who voted In the meeting In the
convention hall were alternates and sub
stitutes for delegates not present.

HOME FROM PHIL KEARNY
Two Omaha Warriors Return from
Annmriary at Sheridan.
CAE.RDTGT0N TAKES LONGER REST
After Interesting Visit to Scene of
Masaarre Peters and Gibson
Return Throsgh Flood
District.
Samuel Gibson and 8. S. Peters returned
Wednesday night from Sheridan, Wyo.,
where for a week they were guests of
Sheridan with Brigadier General and Mrs.
Henry B. Carrlngton and five of their com
rades of the Sioux Indian war of 1S66-6S on
the occasion of the celebration of the es
tablishment of Fort Phil Kearny In the
summer of 1866 and the culminating tragedy
of the massacre of half of the garrison of
that post In December, 186ft, by the Sioux
under Chief Red Cloud.
General and Mrs. Carrlngton did not re
turn with the party, as the old general was
too much fatigued to undertake the return
Journey so toon. He will remain at Sheri
dan another week to rest.
The return trip suggested a comparison
of the Indian depredations forty-two years
ago and the devastation of the elements In
Nebraska with the last week.
Gibson and Peters left Sneridan Tuesday
afternoon. The return trip waa without In
cident until reaching Seward, where the
first evidences of the deluge at Lincoln be
came manifest. The roadbed was extremely
soft and the trains had to move with the
greatest caution. Nearly three hours were
consumed In reaching Lincoln from Seward.
First Train to Attempt It.
The train waa the first that had under
taken to come through the Salt creek bot
toms since Sunday to Lincoln, and here a
remarkable scene presented Itself. The
whole valley west of Lincoln Is still under
water, the only visible portions of dry land
being the wrecked railroad beds, many of
which are washed away. Two or three
thousand men are at work In the yards re
building the tracks. The whole bottom it
filled with wreckage from the flood and
the water still remains to within a few feet
of the Burlington passenger station. The
State fair grounds also are partly sub
merged and the water extends up to the
machine thopt at Havelock and the whole
valley from Lincoln to Ashland is still
largely under water and looka much as If
the Platte river had changed Its course
from its old bed Into Salt creek valley. The
train left Lincoln about 8:30 Wednesday
evening and did not reach Omaha until
11 JO. The roadbed Is too soft to permit a
crossing of the Platte near Ashland and the
trains now crost the Platte at Oreopoils,
coming around by way of Bellevue.
The water hat fallen about four feet since
Monday and continue! falling. All of the
lowland crop! In Salt creek valley have
been practically destroyed and many
smaller building! have been washed away
and are plied out in the wrecked cornfields.
Great Time at Sheridan.
Gibson and Peters are enthusiastic In
their appreciation of the cordiality of the
reception given General and Mrs. Carrlng
ton and party at Sheridan. It was a week
of receptions and distinguished attentions,
Including automobile rldee, luncheons, din
ners and addresses.
The party was taken to the Fort Phil
Kearny battle ground, , twenty-three miles
distant, through Irrigated alfalfa fields
along Big and Little Goose, Prairie Dog
(formerly Peno) creeks and the historic
Plneys, along the base of the Big Horn
mountains, where forty-two years ago the
country wai In lti primitive wlldness, cov
ered with wild game . and' wilder, savage
Indians, with whom thto party wai engaged
In bloody and contlnuoui warfare for pver
two years. '
The metamorphosis of the country from a
wilderness Into a happy, thrifty community
surpassed any dream of Alladln with his
wonderful lamp.
