ItOSEBURG, OREGON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 8, 1000. No. 210. Gompers Flays Justice Wright in Contempt Cases PROCEEDINGS A MOCRER "Sentence Determined On in Advanc.1' Socialists May Cause Split .- in Federal iua Special to the Evening Review. TORONTO, Ont., Nov. 8. The re port of President Samuel Gompers, dealing chiefly with the contempt case, Involving himself, Secretary Morrison and John Mitchell, . ex president of the United Mine Work ers, was the principal feature of thv opening here today of the annua convention of the American Fedei t tlon of Labor and its Canadian branches. Other matters equally as Important to the Federation are scheduled for consideration. Several questions will be decided on which depends the life or death of ni:,re than one flourishing organization. Conditions are Baid to be ripe foi a split over the action of the Federa tion in exiling the faction which Is said to embrace 80 per cent of- the membership of the Internationa) Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. This Ib the question that has already split the State federations in Iowa, Ohio and Indiana. The Socialists are lined up solidly O'wlth the outlawed faction of the Electrical workers and it is said they will have a strong representation in next week's convention. The Issue will furnish the Socialists better fighting ground than they have ever had in the past, because there are many union leaders who believe a mistake was made In revoking state charters, as has been done. That the warfare against President Gomp ers and his supporters will be pushed to the limit is evident from state ments made by many of the dele gates who have arrived to attend the convention and it is apparent that I will require all tho diplomacy of the leaders to prevent a split In the ranks of the big organization. Grows in MemlM'rsiiip. Secretary Morrison's " report, sub mitted this afternoon, showed that tho receipts of the organization for the year ending September 30 were '$232,377.64, and the expenditures 1203.702.46. The excess added to "the cash on hand made a balance of ' $167,303.46. The voting strength of the Federa tion In 1909 was 15,864, against 16.892 in 1908. The report also shows that of the fund of $44,297. raised to defend Gompers, .Morrison and Mitchell, $38,024 remains. Dur ' lng the year 1908 new charters were issued while 212 unions had their charters revoked, were sus pended or disbanded. The gain in membership reported by the secretaries of 34 international organizations over the membership on September 1, last year, is 83,601. Sentence IVe-tletcrmined. Gompers report proceeds to deal with the question of Injunctions, eight hour law. employers' liabili ties and automatic compensation laws, ship subsidy bill, convict labor, child labor, immigration, Gompers' European tour, subjects concerning the conduct or the American Federa . tlon and then says In part, regarding the Buck Stove and Range case and the decision of the Washington. 1).

We " have dared to defend our constitutional rights as men and sb citizens, des pite the injunction of a court which sought to invade the right of free speech and free press secured to the Anglo-Saxon people centuries ago by Magna Charta and clinched by the adoption of the first amendment to the constitution of the United States.

Negro Champion HijiHh Something, but Other Fellow Flninhes It With Beautiful I'pperrut. CHICAGO. Nov. 7. Everybody takes a running jump on Jack John son except In the prize ring. Con stables, policemen and trainers take a crack at the colored champion, the latest being a burly Irish contractor -nf this city, named Tom Carney, who sent Li'l Artha to dreamland with one punch and made hiB getaway, traveling on four cylinders, when he learned the identity of the victim. The finht took place last Friday night, but just became known to night. Johnson and some convivial friendB were engaged in conversa tion in a saloon when the Irishman entered. Johnson took umbrage at some remark by Carney and the lat ter unloaded a string of epithets that mane Johnson blind with rage. Friends tried to hold him back, but he started for Carney. The latter stood to his guns, however, and as Johnson came in, Carney delivered a beautiful swinging uppercut. and Johnson went into dreamland. His friends carried hlra into a dark room and with ammonia and vigorous rub bing brought him to. Meanwhile Carney, who had heard the name of his opponent, put all distance he could between himself and the saloon while Johnson was being revived. IIOMIAO I1KKAKH RKT)RIS.

That Hill Intends to skim the cream off Central Oregon traffic 1b admitted by those who have watched the veteran railroad king manipulate business across the line In Washington ani do it quietly. He now seems deter mined to open Central Oregon and establish a system of feeders for a line to San Francisco. Hill has long realized that tho Northwest must be the breadbasket of the western part of the United States, if not of the whole country. By opening Central Oregon he will assist in reclaiming millions of acres of land and will place his road in a position to handle the product of the land for till time. At the same time he will secure a line through to San Francisco, a gateway "he has long wanted to reach. Hill has announced In the reor ganization articles that he will build at once to Klamath Falls, thus giv ing that city two railroads and mak ing it the center for a large section of country. A steel bridge will be hullt near here to connect the Ore gon lines with Hill's North Bank, his pet road. " Thousands of men are employed on the line up the Des chutes, and even with winter com ing on indications are that work will be rushed until the rails shall be laid. R. A. BOOTH I'RGF.S MOKK PAY FOR MINISTERS. PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 8. Great er efficiency of the whole church, bet ter support for the active and super annuated ministers of the Oregon conference and the larger endow ment of Willamette University were declared to be the purposes of the Oregon Methodist Laymen's Associa tion by State Senator Booth in his address yesterday morning 1n Cen tenary Methodist church. Mr. Booth said In his opening remarks that about eight years ago he attended x banquet in Centenary church and wiiB surprised to find out for the flrBt time- that many of his business ac quaintances were Methodists. He contended that there should be closer fellowship, and that this is one of the objects of the Oregon Laymen's Association. He said: "The Laymen's Association stands for the general efficiency of the whole church. The organization has ideals, and the higher the better for us. The organization seeks to be useful in a practical way. I believe in a. practical Christianity, The church Is not alone a place for Chris tiana, but it is a place for organiza tion, for plans. The Oregon Laymen's Associa tion believes that every preacher ought to be well supported. At the last Oregon conference there were 122 ministers reported. Of this number 13 received $1200 a year, and the average of the rest waB $570 per annum a mere pittance. Such a condition shows that the laymen are not doing their duty. "Willamette University, instead of being a burden, should become a re source, its endowment, ougnc soon to reach $500,000. toward which it Is tending under the splendid Icader- ahfn nf thn nrpspnf nresinent. After the address $160 was raised as Centenary s portion Tor the Lay men's Association fund, which li nearly double the amount It was as sessed. MR. MEK HOI'PKI BEAD IN ASHLAND HOTEL. ASHLAND.

Trans fer of the Fourth Oregon Infantry Into the Coaat Artillery Service of tbe state la the radical change in the Oregon National Guard that Is to be made necessary within the next 60 days. Tbe regimental Identity of tbe command will have to be des troyed and the eight Southern Ore gon infantry companies will each re ceive a separate designation in the Coast Artillery. Tills change, which haB been In contemplation for several years, Blnce the new military bill regulating tne national uuara went into effect, nos Deen round necessary by tbe general staff on account of tbe short age of funds for maintenance. In order to maintain the Fourth Regit ment it Is necessary to organise four additional companies of Infantry at Southern Oregon points. Tho ex pense of organization would bo ap proximately $10,000, and the cost of maintenance an even larger amount every year. Help Columbia lliver Forts. Transfer of the Fourth Regiment to the Artillery Service will do much to salve the problem of sufficient men for the Columbia River forts. It Is Bald. In tbe Fourth there are 400 officers and men, a much larger force than Is kept4y the Army In the coast garrisons. These supplemental troopB can be thrown Into the torts In a few days' notice, and working side by Bide with the regulars ian pick up the work In a short time. This was demonstrated In the coast defense maneuvers at the mouth of the Columbia In 1907. An additional advantage Is that the senior officers will remain In the service with their respective ranks, whereas In the event the regiment was converted into separate com- panles of Infantry, or even into separate battalion, practically all of the headquarters officers would be thrown out Colonel George O. Yoran, of Eu- pene. will be transferred to the Ar tillery Service with his present rank, It Is understood. The same Is true of Major Frank B. Hamlin, of Roseburg. and Major C. C. Hammond, of Eu gene. It Ib possible that several of the staff officers will have to go, but that detail has not yet been consid ered and will not be until tne next meeting of the general staff. Tho chango. according to the law Involved, must be effected not later than January 21.. Mrs. C. L. Clevenger. or Grants Pass, arrived here this afternoon to vlBlt with her mother, Mrs. E.

By the slim margin of 8 to 0, made on a place kick by Captain Clarke, from Multnomah's 20-yard Hue, after eight minutes of play In the first half, the University of Oregon foot ball team defeated the Multnomah Club, of Portland, on McArthur Field here thlB afternoon. Curiously enough, the work of the throe old Oregon stars, Captain Jack Latourette, at quarter: Frank Tciu- pleton, at fullback, and the fleet Gor- don Moores, at end, were mainly responsible tor keening the varsity from piling up a much bigger score on the clubmeu. Time and again, when tho Oregon backs had the ball inside Multnomah's 20-yurd line on a flat down, one of these men would break up tbe play or hurl the run ner buck for a heavy loss.

WE'VE BEEN TREATING TAFT REQUESTS CALL FROM IOWA INSURGENT. Cummins Asserts Reactionaries Are Scheming to Rob Anti-Trust Law of Its Hfllcieucy. CHICAGO, Nov. 7. Bits of reac tionary legislation that the "stand pat" Republicans are likely to try to put over our next Congress are amendments to the anti-trust law and to the acts dealing with the Inter state Commerce Commission, by which these laws will be robbed of some of their efficiency, according to t Senator Albert B. Cummins, of Iowa, "lnsurgout" Republican. If tbe "stand-patters'' do attempt to foist bucIi legislation as this through CougreBs there Is going to be the hottest kind of a light by tbe "progressives" which Senator Cum mins thinks- Is the correct term by which to designate himself and others of his views. Tuft Sends for Him. "I am now on my way to Washing- I ton, on tho suggestion of President to the convening of CuugreBB In which the views of many men will be obtnlned and at which varying Ideas will be advanced," said Senator Cum mins. "1 do not nppear in the guUe of a counsellor to the President, but he Is naturally anxious to hear what men of my attitude think on these Important questions. "The reactionary Influences In my party aro anxious to have the word 'intent' slipped Into the anti-trust law by some way or another. They agree that It It Is once necessary to prove Intent, thore will never be the slightest chance of a praecutlon uuder the antl-truBt law. Intont would be so difficult of proof, and Intent In this connection would be so eluHlve a nnture ror purposes and evi dence, that the placing of the word 'intent' In tho law would virtually make the law of no effect. "As far ns the Interstate Com-. merco Commission is concerned the reactionary influences seek to take nway from the Commission the ini tiating power. They argue that the commission should not be both Judge nnd prosecutor, nnd they wish to place upon the. Department of Com merce and Labor the duty and power of instituting proceedings, while the Department of Justice would be charged with tho work of prosecut ing before the Commission. The In terstate Commerce Commission itself would thus become a mere Judge. "The dnnger In this scheme Is that It would be by no moans difficult to arrange such a division of authority and such a programme of red tape that It would be possible to hamper every proceeding with such delnys thnt the Commission would really have no powor loft."
