Gompers Attacks Critics in Bitter Senate Remarks
Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, denounces critics in Washington as violence and injunctions surge in labor conflicts. He defends the federation and fights movements tied to dynamite while accusing employers and associations, including United States Steel, of waging a long, coercive campaign against organized labor. The speech links injunctions to governmental excess and calls for scrutiny of authorities and actions surrounding labor disputes.

Bristow Proposes New Interstate Industrial Commission
Senator Bristow of Kansas today urged the Senate to create a seven member Interstate Industrial Commission to supervise all interstate business with receipts over 5 million a year. The panel would mirror the interstate commerce agency and hold power to investigate finances and operations of large interstate concerns without disrupting legitimate business. He argued existing courts fail to curb big corporate abuses and that the commission would protect the public while preserving lawful enterprise.

Court Rejects Union Pacific Plan To Dissolve Southern Pacific
The Supreme Court ruled that distributing or transferring the entire Southern Pacific stock to Union Pacific stockholders cannot end the merger as decreed. Justice Day stated such a plan would shift control improperly, preserving the merger rather than dissolving it. The decision allows consideration of other methods under the prior decree while denying this complete stock transfer.
