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.

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.

with the question of Injunctions,

PITS JOHNSON TO BLKKP.
Negro Champion HijiHh Something,

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.

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

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

of country. A steel bridge will be
hullt near here to connect the Ore

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.

PORTLAND, Or., Nov. 7. 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.

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."
