House Caucus Tonight Weighs Anti-Injunction Legislation
Washington May 20 A Republican house caucus is called for this evening to decide the party stance on anti injunction measures. The move follows months of agitation and a formal petition from attorneys. All members, Democrat and Republican, have received letters and telegrams for and against curbing federal court injunction powers without prior notice. Labor and capital interests push contrasting views, and several anti injunction bills sit with the judiciary committee. A predicted outcome is little chance of passage, perhaps only the Payne bill if any act is approved. A telegram from the National Association of Manufacturers, at a New York convention, urged Speaker Cannady to oppose anti injunction regulation, added to a growing file of business pressure.

New York May 2 High government officials in Washington and New York are alleged to have conspired to obtain love letters written by United States Senator Platt to Miss Mae Wood. The plan involved pressuring Miss Wood to reveal the letters while denying their authenticity unless leverage over Platt could be used. Miller testified he organized the statement and that Wynne, then postmaster general, helped spark a press response. Miss Wood, on the stand, said Miller warned that Platt would lose the letters if he did not cooperate, and she described signing a lease of Senator Platt in 1909 in connection with the case and receiving 7600 dollars for the statement.
