The United States was represented ot the "consistory by Monseigneur Ken- nedy, rector of the American College here, and Monseigneur Setton, titular Archbishop of Heliopolis, ot Je City, J. Monseigneur Kennedy at the private consistory received the pallium for Archbishop Glennon of St. Louis. The pallium for Archbishop Moeller of Cincinnati received in the secret co Stor ather Haver, private secretary ardinal Gotti, Frefect of the Propaganda, and the pallium for Archbishop Messmer of Milwaukee was received by Mon- seigneur Jauquet. In the secret consi livered an allocution recalling the origin of the concordat and the rea- sons which induced Pope Pius VII to conclude it with Napoleon, especially referring to the provisions made for the appointment of Bishops, the bud- get of the Ministry of Public Worship, which was regulated by what was practically a contract, and finally the free exercise of Catholic worship. He added that the so-called ‘‘organic articles” added in 1802 by Napoleon had never been recognized by the Holy See, either as law as being part of the concordat. Therefore the Pontiff deplored the fact that the present Gov- ernment of the French republic had under various pretexts charged the Holy See with not having observed the ccncordat, adding that the church had rever in the case of any country broken an agreement made. The Pope concluded with saying that the French Government had broken the fundamental conditions of the concordat. He complained of the impossibility, due to the existing state of affairs, of appointing Bishops to the vacant sees in France, but expressed the hope that an understanding would be reached. The majority of the Cardinals pres- tent considered the allusion rather mild and remarked that the Pope omitted the part upon which he pre- viously had consulted several of the Cardinals, in which he was to have appealed to the people of France and to have urged them to be loyal to the story the Pope de- church and use their rights as citizens | the Government from per- to prevent secuting religion. The Pontiff entered the hall of the congistory surrounded by his imme- diate entourage, flanked by the noble and Swiss guards and followed by the papal He seated himself on the throne and those present advanced te pay their homage, after which the Pope delivered a prayer to the Holy Ghost. Following this all except the Cardinals left the hall, as the con- sistory was secret. The Pope and Car- dinals then proceeded to proclaim the Archbishops, Bishops, etc., as already appointed by brief. Immediately after the secret con- istory the Pope held a semi-public consistory, preliminary to the cere- mony of the canonization of Blessed Alessandro Sauli, Barnabite, and | Biessed Gerardo Mailla, the Redemp- torist. which will take place next month. All agree that outside of the fact that he has a somewhat careworn ex- | pression, the Pope, notwithstanding his recent attack of gout, seems to be | in good health. - " GOMPERS MAKES REPOAT Continued From Page 3, Column 7. < We love liberty institutions, the public; the crime or unlawful conduct and justice; we revere the history and the traditions of our biush of shame surmounts our faces snd sense of honor and dignity rises in prot against o foul a blot that a recreant public officer, cre and puppet of sordld greed | uid ® s0 besmirched and defiled the | proud record and honored name of a sovereign State it was the evident purpose of that unholy [ combination of the Citizens' Alliance with to de Governor Peabody making an attack uoon the effort organized labor of the State | tion that their attack was not directed at the American Federation of Labor is disproved by their bitter antagonism to and asault upon the affiliated coal miners of that State.

SEEKING NEW LAWS. Our anti-injunction bill (H. B, 89) was in- troduced in the House by Congressman Gros. venor and referred to the Judiclary Commit. tee. Several hearings of an extensive char- acter were Rad upon it. Although the hear- ings were ¢ no report thereon has been made. 1 commend to your favorable con- sideration a continued effort to secure the enactment of this bill and thus curb the judg- o law invasive of our constitutionai and g TIERMS. o Inflinction has! e e process necessary and proper application and was designed to supply the guarantee of & right as well as the prevention of @ Wrong When there is ng ther remedy &t law. The Use or, mope properly speaking, the misuse of the writ of injunction in labor disputes, is a perversion very principles involved in the infunc. ‘process.

An ex- pert cattleman stated to-day that if the present methods are pursued it will require a force of 1500 vaqueros te accomplish the work. o+ fssued in net already Those — lahor dispute for which thege is law upon the statute books and proper penalty is not provided. for which workmen are enjoined a there is no penaity provided are not therefore, an injunction should enjoining men (rom doing the ! i e a ght to do. the declaration nmune for the any unlawful acts, for we dis. lawf; untenance P nd denounce them and recogn their commission as wrongful and prejudicial to our own interests as well as to ths pubiic good. But we must insist that if any man connected with our movement be charged with an unlawful act he should, Iltke any other man, be put upon his defense and before a jury’ of his peers meet his accusers and abide by the verdict rendered. We protest against the class distinction made in these cases, so far ag they apply to labor, which even upon an ex parte allegation of our opponents renders a workman punishable n act which is held as perfectly lawful | when committed by others. Surely we have the right to demand the constitutional guaran- tee 0 re the la is guarantee e ated by in. If labor true to itself, if we fellow thoroughly ¥ come more | d true to the great cause of labor, | home upon our nents as and recreant statesmen the protection, justice and fair | hich we are entitled, Our eight_hour bill was sduced in the Serate by Senator L. E mas of Mary- land and in the House by Con R. Hitt of Illinols. Extensive h nad on the bill before the Semats Committee on Education and Labor and the House Com- mittee on Labor, As the hearings upon this biil before the committees in previous Con- | Kiesses Were so extensive and are in print we decided, therefore, not to present any further argument until our opponents had con- cluded. The opposition followed their usual ta i procrastination and of prolonging the hear ings. The legisiative committee, Vice Presi- dents Dun: O'Connell and myself, rebutted the statements and arguments of our opponents and jnsisted that there should be neither wasta of me nor the report of the committee de- ferred. We were’ justified in belleving that fnasmuch as both committees of Congress had | reported this bill favorably at several pre- | s vicus (ongresses there ought to have been no further delay. To our disappointment the House committes acquiesced in the proposition of our opponents and referred to the Depart- ment of Commercs and Labor an Investigation of the subject by resolutions. CHINESE EXCLUSION. In the early part of the year it was learned that the Chinese Government had given six | months' notice of its desire that with the United States covering Chinese im- migration should termimate. That the condi tion which we contended two years ago wou exist, should the Chinese Government denounc e {reaty, was plainly apparent neither law nor trea limit, restrict or g his | that is, that | ¢ that would shibit the free e’ into the United States and its pos ons. We immediately brought this to the attention of Congress, particularly through the ald of Senator Patterson of Colo- | rado and Congressman Liverndsh of Califor- | nia. The question aroused intense interest, | | entry and though the conditjon which presented itself was denied and contended against by many, an investigation of the subject by a Congres- sional committee, and pressing home the facts in the case, resulted in the passage of an amendment to the general deficiency bill rem- edying the defect As the first intimat ernment had denounced the treaty came | from a *leak’ In the State Department, so | has there recently been published a statement | n that the Chinese that there Is now being negotiated between representatives of our Government and that of | ‘hina a new treaty, which, it is said, will deal ‘more liberally’” With the subject of Chinese | fon ! i | imniig: Inasmuch as experience nas demonstrated that the largest number of Chinese laborers | ana coolies have been brought to this country | | under the pretense that they were ‘“‘merchants and inasmuch as any treaty | be made will take precedence over and supplant any law upon the statute books, | it will be well for us to manifest in no uncer- tain manner our determined and unalterable opposition to any move calculated in the re- | motest degree to render us liable to the dan- | ger of Chinese immigration, an immigration which has been fraught with peril to every | people with whick It has come in contact. Our fmmigration department recognizes and { declares the difficulties now experienced with an effective law in enforcing its provisions for Chinese exclu ely, then, nothing | should be done law or regulation to | | lessen_ the effectiveness to the bar against this erwhelming sentiment and conviction of all | our people. CONVICT LABOR. Though little progress has been made in se- curing an effective Federal law against convict bor, a begiuning has been made in the recognition of that principle by Congress in one department of the Government. In an amendment to the postotfice appropriation bill the following was adopted: “Provided, that hereafter no contract shall be entered into by the Postoffice Department for purchase of material or supplies to be manufactured by convict labor.' The same provision should be pressed into enactment so as to_apply to all the depart- ments of the Government. Apart from our efforts to afd in the exten- sfon of the principle that no= convict labor ehall enter into competition with free labor in the several States, we should endeavor to secure u Federal law that shall prohibit the products of convict labor in one State coming into competition with free labor of such States as have provided themselves with wise, benefi- cent and protective legisiation upon this sub- ject. We recognize the unwisdom, aye, even the brutality of permitting convicts to serve out their terms In idleness. - The States which have solved this problem of convict labor best, New York and Pennsylvania, are clear demon- strations that, from the standpoint of economy and the public welfare, the prisoners’ good, | hoth while incarcerated and thereafter, is pro- moted to the highest degree by some form of work. * NATIONAL ARBITRATION. A so-called national arbitration bill was in-, troduced In Congress, which, upon the face of it, appeared to be a voluntary measure, yet the hearings developed the fact that in the last analysis it would be a species of com- pulsory compliance with the award. Our movement Is sincerely in favor of the tion. of disputes which cannot be dets otherwise; but we are strongly committed | against the policy of compulsory arbitration in any form, particularly compulsory arbitration by the State. When concillation fails, we favor voluntary arbitration with employers, and if mecessary a disinterested party as an arbitrator. We emphatically declare the ne- cessity for faithful compliance with the terms and awards made by such arbitration; but wi are equally insistent that the arbitration shal be voluntarily entered into and voluntarily and faithfully fulfilled. There is no_doubt that of the ills of our governmental life not one is more prejudicial to the interests of the people than our present political partisan form of determining the peo- Ple’'s judgment. Apart from the corruption in- cident thereto the fact that political par- ties are gullty of larger or minor offenses against the interests of the Deople, or are more | labor coming into competition with free | already covered several times, though its treaty | ; indifferent to their constantly grow! o The political party system il the people of the opportunity of manifesting | thelr judgment upomgreat and Important pub- | lie questions.
