Bulletin. When Henry Cabot Lodge
mentioned the name of Roosevelt this
afternoon, there Was great ' cheering,
and .when he called him the "Much
abused, but' the most popujaf presi
dent," there was a great ovation. The
delegates from Nevada, and others,
leaped to their feet and yelled at the
top of their voices. Enthusiasm swept
over tho whole convention. It was
noted, however, that the Ohio dele
gates did not take part In the demon
stration. Bourne. Wild With Cilec.
Senator Jonathan Bourne of Oregon
was among the leaders of the ovation.
Mrs. Alice Longworth covered her face
w.lth her hands and seemed unable to
control her emotions. Fairbanks, of
Springfield, ., a brother of the vice
president, stood on a chair In the spe
cial balcony, and led the cheering In
that vicinity.'
When Charles P. Taft, brother of
Secretary Taft, was asked what the
significance of the demonstration was,
he replied:
"Nothing in It. Nothing at all; Just
working off a little steam."

'' Lodge smiled blandly. Then some
one pointed out the president's daugh

Alice took the greatest care not to do
anything that would lead ta the sup

smiled, then hid her face again In her
hands. It was evident that she was

A huge Teddy bear was raised high
In the air from the newspaper section.
This Increased the cheerilig, which
scented to have reached the limit ot
human vocal possibilities. Lodge
pounded on his desk with the gavel,
but the sound could not be heard 20
feet away. He waved his hands In an
effort to restore order." He pounded
still more. The crowd seemed to have
lost Its self-control and tho cheering
continued. '

During tho ovation flags were wav

. : Labor Lender Hopeful,'
Fired with new hope and confidence
by positive assurance from Taft and
Roosevelt, the labor leaders today are
conducting their campaign more vig
orously, than ever to obtain the antl-
Manufacturers Equally Active,
James Van Cleave, president of the
National Manufacturers' association, Is
preparing to use desperate means to
defeat the plank. Van Cleave Insists
that the plank will turn all voters who
have money Invested in this country
against the republican party. They
are busy with the telephone and tele
graph, lining up the big commercial
organizations, urging them to bring In
fluence to bear on the delegates from
their, respective localities.
Will Murk New F.poeh.
Gompers Js equally busy on the
other ldo. There Is little doubt but
that the battlo for recognition at la
bor's demands for what labor consid
ers "Just protection," will be the event
which will give . this convention Its
place In history of the development of
the Country. . '
The plank would provide that In
'unctlons could not bo htsucd without
v hearing. It would pledpe the pnrty
0 change th law ln such a way as to
nevent tho Issuance of a summary
-rder by federal Judges In. strike
vases. '
Injunction riank Prexented.
The lubor plank, as adopted by the
executive council of the i American
Federation of Labor, wns presented
to a sub-committeo of tho committee
on resolutions of the convention today.
Labor asks that It bo placed In the
plntform of the republican party. It
was submitted by Gompers, In the fol
lowing form:
Labor' lnleK'ii(lent of Cupltal.
"The republican party Is In accord
with Lincoln when he declared: 'La
bor is prior to. and Independent of
capital; labor Is superior of capital,
and deserves more consideration.' The
republican party has been a staunch
defender of property and property
rights, yet It holds that personal
rights, and human liberty must of
necessity be entitled to a first consid
eration. "Recognizing new conditions are
arising from the marvelous Industrial
development, our peoplo and the na
tion realize the fact that the wheel of
commerce and Industry must require
a new law; new conceptions of the
law must be enacted with modern In
dustry, commerce and the advance of
freedom In line therewith.
"We thercforn pledge the republi
can party to the enactment of laws by
congress, guaranteeing to tho wat?e.
earners, agriculturists and horticul
turists of our country the right of or
ganized kfforl to the end that such as
sociations and their members shall not
bo regarded as Illegal combinations In
restraint of trade. We pledge our
selves to the enactment of a law to
prohibit the Issuance of Injunctions In
(ases arising out of labor disputes,
when such Injunctions would not ap
ply when no lubor disputes were ex
acted; that in no rase shall tho Injunc
tion bo Issued when there exists a
remedy by ordinary process of law."
Want Employers' Mulilllty Art.
The labor plank contains the fol
lowing: "And which shall provide that In
the proreei'ure for punishment for
contempt of court, the party cited for
contempt shall, when such contempt
la not committed In actual presence of
the court, be entitled to .a Jury trial.
Ws pledge the republican party to the
enactment of an amendment extending
to the existing eight-hour lay to all
government employees and for all
workers whether employed by con
tract or by sub-contractors, for doing
work for, or In behalf of ths govern
ment. We pledge the republican par
ty to the enactment Into law by con
gress as fur as federal ' Jurisdiction
can extend, for the federal employes'
liability act for Injury to body or loss
of life suffered by employees."
The plank demands a law to ex
tend federal Jurisdiction; to grant
woman's suffrage; to submit a consti
tutional amendment to the state, for
ratification, providing for absolute suf
frage of woman equal to that of men;
a law creating a department of labor
separate from any - existing depart.

atlng sufficient funds for Investiga
tion of causes of great disasters, for
the purpose of recommending laws
and regulations preventing terrible
loss of life ln mines; a law establish

ings banks.
GompcrH Strikes Home. -In
presenting the plank President
Samuel Gompers said In his speech,'
that revolution would be the result In
this country If the labor unions were
destroyed, or if they were treated on
the same plane as "criminal trusts"
and monopolies. He said; ,
"We do not want to eat the em
ployer as an appetizer before break
fast, nor as dessert aftor, but we want ,
fair treatment and wa are going u 1
get it. Wo are not anarchists, or de
stroyers of property; we do not rep.
resent that Idea. We are as loyal tc
the Institutions of America as an
body, but wu want to retain tho right
to organize, and take steps to meet
enactments."
Incitement on Floor..
Wado Rills of Ohio, asked Gom
pers If It were truo that there had been
only 23 Injunctions against labor In
the last five years.
"I deny that." paid Gompers. 'The
man who mude thnt statement knows
It Is not true."
"I made that statement," announced
T. A. Emory, general rounsel for the
National Manufacturers' association.
An exciting scene was prevented by
the action of Chairman Hopkins who
told Gompers to proceed. Gompers
then introduced a document from the
records of the house of representa
tives, Including 23 Injunction cases,
explaining tlmt they were selected
from hundreds. Imory asked the
commlttoo to examine the Injunction
cases referred to by Gompers. Emory
snld: "In some, eases Intunrtinna
were Issued for the purpose of re
straining men from parading mining
ramps to prevent others from going to
work."
This ended tho public hearing, and
hi) committee went Into executive
session.

Two Exiicrlenced Cannery Men From

Commercial Club Today Relative U'
Erecting $28,000 Cannery In This)
City Have Considerable Money to -Invent
PuHslble to Keduod Needed
Bum to Small Amount. "-.-1- . .,
That La Grande may land a $25,000
cannery, the construction of which Is
to commence this season, Is the high
ly pleasing news that Is going th
rounds today, based on substantial
facts. Realizing the loglo of estab
lishing a cannery right here In th
heart of a fertile valley, Messrs,
Sampson and Weber of Grants Pass,
arrived In the city today for the pur
pose of looking over the ground and
to take the matter up with the Com
mercial club. The Commercial club
Is a busy body these days and already
have several very favorable proposi
tions on hand, but this Is one whera
Hilck returns will be available. Th
men spent but a short time in tha
city, because they are experienced can
nery men and promptly sized the loca
tion here as a very desirable one.
They went Immediately to tho board
of managers with their proposition,
and during the day the board consid
ered the proposition put up to them.
It sounded good. The Grants Pass
people come here with years of ex
perience, nnd aside from that, they
have a tidy sum which they wish to In
vest. Thny ask for a subsidy natur
ally, exlHtlng conditions may reduce
that to a very small amount, com
pared with the extent of ths project
as It Is planned.
. One of the large produce houses on
Jefforson avenue Is available, and may
be turned In by tho owners as stock
In the new company. If this Is done
It will leave but a very few thousand
dollars to be raised, either in stock or
a subsidy, as the case may be.
At this early date. It Is out of
place to state details of the plans aa
the ttnforseen may occur, but It Is ex
pected that the Commercial club will
lend Its sanction to the project at an
early hour. ,A fruit cannery has Ions;
been a needed Industry In this ctf
and valley. On the face of the pres
ent proposition everything seems fa-,
vnrable and It Is to bo hoped the city
will land the Industry at this time. It
Is but a matter of a few years until a
plant of this nature will become an
absolute necessity, by reason of the
evor-lnc'reaslng fruit acreage In this
valley, and so. If the plans advanced
