CHICAW. April 19. iPpecial.)
fflllnola with Its hsttsllon of 54 Na
tional delegates In very likely to be
transferred bodily to the Presidential
line-up of Gnxernor John A. Johnson.
This startling possibility Is billed for
next Thursday t the Democratic State
Convention to be held In Springfield.
It I a possibility In spite of a definite
and apparently futile attempt by Na
tional Committeeman Roger C. Sulli
van to put a stop to the Johnson
movement In thl state. The surface
Indications are that a determined and
spontaneous spirit favorable to the
Minnesota Governor is rampant among
the dlcgstes who have been rhosen
and Mr. Sullivan is plared In the de
cidedly peculiar situation of attempt
ing to control the state convention In
behalf of Instructions for William J.
Bryan.
May Break From Sullitan.
The declaration was made by a state
leader tonight, whose Influence will
tie felt In Springfield this week, that
even Mr. Sullivan, who is committed
openly to Mr. Bryan and wishes an
Instructed Bryan delegation, cannot
atop the Johnson talk, which Is re
ported from a half doxen different sec
tions of the state.
1'nlese Mr. Sullivan and tila lieuten
ants, s-lio are now supposed to he in
complete control of the approaching
convention :tince the flzsle of the out-and-out
Bryan movement, use the most
trlngent measures to hold the dcle
irates in line for the Bryan Indorse
ment and Instruction which has been
promised, the convention is entirely
likely to take the control of affairs
Into its own hands and either indorse
or Instruct for Mr. Johnson for Presi
dent, or at the very lease, send an un
instructed deli-Ration to Denver.
Open Fight in Convention.
This statement Is made on the au
thority of an Influential Democrat
Tvho is certain to be a member qf the
committee on resolutions and who an
nounced publicly to the party leaders
yesterday that be has drawn a John
son resolution and will fight for it in
the resolutions committee and on the
floor of the convention.
It is believed that the Johnson boom
Jn Illinois has been carefully nursed,
and that the development expected by
the Johnson managers wilt be in com
plete harmony with what has hap
pened to the Bryan campaign In New
York in particular and most of the
Kastern aiates In general during the
past fortnight.
Biggest States "for Johnson.
Johnson lenders are prepared to
eerry their candidate directly to
Springfield, and the statement was
rmaae last night that Mr. Johnsons

Blacklist All Who Oppose
Change in Sherman Law.
SUPREME COURT RAPPED
Jumpers Say Peclslon Show It
Behind Times Meetings In All
the leading t'Hies leclare
for Political Action.
NEW YORK. April 19. The most Im
portant, perhaps, of the several labor
maaa meetings held throughout the l"nl
ted States today was that addressed by
President Samuel Gompers. of the Amer
ican Federation of libor. at the Grand
Central Palace tonight. In common with
the meetings In other cities, the local
gathering was for the purpose of pub
licly demanding- remedial legislation In
the interests of organized labor.
Mr. Gompers In his address declared
that the Judges of the Supreme Court of
the I'nlted States had shown themselves
by training and environment and tend
ency to be behind the times, and urged
the 'necessity of an immediate demand
upon Congress to enact legislation at
this session amending the Sherman'antl
trust law. which, the Supreme Court de
clared, forbids trades-unions the right
to boycott and to strike.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that
it was the conviction of the meeting that
it lies within the duty of Congress so to
amend the Sherman law as to remove
any possibility of such future construc
tion, and to enact the Pere bill to de
fine the injunction and restrain Its
abuses.
The resolutions further call upon Con
gress to enact a general employers' lia
bility bllL an eight-hour bill for Govern
ment employes, and call on each district
to hold Its member of Congress respon
sible for his record on the labor measures
during the pending session.
DEMAND LABOR LEGISLATION
Chicago 1'nlons Declare Against
Supporting Enemies of Labor.
CHICAGO, April 19. At a meeting of
the Chicago Federation of Labor today
resolutions were passed protesting against
alleged hostility and indifference of Con
gress to demands of workingmen. In
eluded In the -resolutions was a petition
for immediate passage of the Wilson bill
amending the Sherman anti-trust law
and of the Pere bill limiting the powers
of the. courts to issue injunctions in la
bor disputes.
The resolutions declare for individual
and collective political ax'tion in favor
of only such candidates for President.
Representatives and Senators as will give
unqualified support to the demands of
labor. The action was taken at the re
quest of Samuel Gompers. who asked
that similar action be taken by labor
organizations throughout the country.
OBJECT TO LABOR'S DEMAND
Petition to Congress) Protesting
Against Sherman Law Revision.
WASHINGTON. April 19. With this
keynote "Our members do not protest
against organizations of labor and capi
tal, when for the purpose of peaceful and
lawful benefit to its members, but tres
pass upon the rights or attempted control
of the affairs of other free citizens must
not and will not be permitted" the C'itl
ens" Industrial Association of America
objects to a rearrangement of the Sher
man anti-trust law and to any anti-injunction
legislation by Congress In a pe
tition sent to Vice-President Fairbanks
and Speaker Cannon today.
Th signers Include various classes of
business Interests in all sections of tbe
I'nited States as well as "open shop"
labor organizations.
The petition takes exception to "an in
sistent demand made by the managers of
the American Federation of Iahor. that
your honnrahie body pass measures of
class legislation intended to favor mem
bers of organized labor and place within
the hands of its managers power to force
working men to pay from their wages a
periodical contribution to such managers
or he strirped of their freedom to work
and earn a living for themselves and
families."
Continuing the petition says:
Organized labor now demands a re
arrangement of the Sherman anti-trust
law in order to allow labor unions and
railways to interfere with and restrain
trade and interstate commerce even to
great inconvenience and loss to the com
mon people. It also seeks to legislate
the boycott.
"It goes further." the petition says,
"and demand the enactment of in antl
injunction measure with manifest intent
to take away from our courts the right
to issue restraining orders.( seeking to
protect the persons of our working citi
zens and the property of others. A rad
ical anti-injunction law. such as or
ganized labor seeks, would remove all
obstacles and allow the members of the
labor unions complete license to commit
acts of depredation and assaults upon
persons before ttie courts could restrain
them.
"There comes no petition from the
rveace-intendinjr citizen Tor an anti-in
junction law." the petition adds, and
concludes with a prayer that Congress
"decline to enact into. law any measure
Intended to benefit the few at the ex
pvnse of the many."

ROVE. April lJ.-An Italian squadron,
under command of Admiral Orenet, will
set out for the purpose of making; de
mands In Turkish waters. The squadron
comprises 11 warships and includes the
battleship Regina Elena, commanded by
the Duke of Abrugii. Altogether, the ves-'
sels will carry 5W6 men Jid their ob
jective point will be Asia Minor, some- 7"
miles away. It has been decided, if It is
deemed necessary, also to occupy a small
port until Turkey sees the error of her
way and gives full satisfaction. More
energetic measures may thus be avoided.
The difficulty between the two nations
arises from the refusal of the Turkish
government to permit the installation of
Italian postoffices in Turkish ten .tory,
such as other nations llave established
and are conducting there without inter
ference. Considerable Irritation has been felt
here also. In view of the murder of an
Italian missionary in Tripoli and the
persecution by the Ottoman rort of na
tives who have sold to Italians, but the
present action of the Italian government
Is based primarily on the postoice ques
tion.
The Turkish Ambassador in Rome has
pointed out in an Interview that his gov
eminent has In no instance (framed to the
countries in question such privileges, al
though It has "tolerated" postoffices
which they have established and main
tained.
Great satisfaction is felt here and It is
said that all the powers have approved
Italy's prompt decision to -ave recourse
to force. If necessary to protect her In
terests, which does not contemplate perma
nent territorial occupation.
It was learned tonight that eight de
stroyers will join the squadron, bring
ing the number of men in the fleet up to
nearly 7000, with about 500 big guns. It
is expected that the demonstration will
begin Thursday morning.
FRANCE ALSO MAKES CLAIM
Demands Indemnity for Coal Mine
Turkey Would Buy.
CONSTANTINOPLE, April 19. The at
tempt of the Turkish government to
regain control of coal mines at Eregli, a
town of Asia Minor. 128 miles from Con
stantinople, in which a French company
is interested to the extent of J15.000.no0,
has led to a serious diplomatic difficulty.
The French government supports the con
cessionaries, who decline to enter
tain the question of re-sale of the
property until the Porte furnishes proof
of its ability to bring forth the purchase
money, which, considering the Impov
erishment of the Turkish treasury, is
manifestly impossible.
In the meantime, France has closed her
market to any Turkish loan, and the
French embassy has notified the Porte
that France will exact an Indemnity of
J00 for every day that settlement Is de
layed, in addition to a compensation of
$2,oo,000 for lossea to the company in-,
curred by disturbances.
The incident has been the subject of
more than ordinary attention because of
the attitude of Italy toward Turkey, as
shown by the threatened demonstration
by Italian warships In Turkish waters.
11CSSIA EXPKESSES SURPRISE
Italy's Action May Embolden Other
Powers to Intervene.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 19.-The
Italian naval demonstration against
Turkey, which was announced here late
last night, came as a complete surprise
to the Riifsian government officials and
to the members pf the diplomatic corps, as
it has not been preceded by any intima
tion of the existence of a dispute between
Turkey and Italy.
The various diplomats and the Rus
sian Foreign Office officials heard the
news with a great show of interest, the
consensus of opinion being that Italy's
determination is of great significance, oc
curring as it does Just at the time that
the Sultan's best friend. Emperor William
of- Germany, is visiting 1n the Mediter
ranean. The opIrMon is expressed here that
Italy's bold example In dealing with
Turkey will lead to more vigorous inter
vention on the part of Great Britain and
Russia In behalf of Macedonia.
Too Trivial for Armed Threats.
IX3NrON. April 20. The London
newspapers this morning, commenting
on the attitude of Italy toward Turkey,
