Held to Contract Money Raised -to Resist. (By Wire to the Morn'ng Stir.) Norfolk, Va., Nov. 12. That there will be war to the knife between, the American Federation of Labor and the National Association of Manufactur ers, was evidenced today at the morn ing session of - the American Federa: tlon of Labor here. The Federation has already takea the aggressive by looking to the establishment of a fund to fight the manufacturers through its executive council- The whole cry Is that undue pressure is being brought to bear by the manufacturers of the country against organized labor,' much to the detriment 'of the latter, it is claimed. On the other hand, .the man ufacturers combat this' in a statement Issued today, from .James' M. Van- Uieave, president or., tne .National As sociation of Manufacturers, in which .he holds that the object of the asso ciation is to put labor unions on a basis whereby they may be held responsible- for their contracts. As an Instance, the pending court proceed ings 'fn New York of the Typotheatae against, the express men for the re covery of daramges on account of the alleged, breaking of the contracts vby the5-press men, is named." On the issue made by Mr. Gompers today, by seeking funds to fight the suit brought by Mr. VanCleave, " as president of the Buck Stove and Range Company, of "St. Louis against Presi dent Gompers and the Federation's ex ecutive council, the association comes out flat footed with the statement that it will fight the boycott and the black list to the finish. During the day the Federation took aggressive steps towards the estab lishment of a universal eight hour "working day in America and began action loking to ways and means for the raising of a sufficient fund to fight 'the present war, its executive council reported had been begun through the Manufacturers' Association,- with an available fund of $1,500,1100 on hand by the latter against organized labor, with particular aim by the Manufactu rers' association against the efforts of the American Federation of Labor for the 'amelioration of the conditions of the working classes and "wealth producers" of the country. The Federation authorized Presi dent Gompers to appoint a special commission for the consideration of both of these questions, the commit tees to report during the present ses sions. Two hours, of the morning ses: sion were devoted to the hearing of the anual report of the executive council which was read by First Vice President JJames O'Connell. The im portant features, were on the' revoca tion of the brewery workers' charters because of alleged continued viola tions of the provisions of the Minne apolis convention by the brewery workers' refusal to relinquish jurisdic tion over the .brewery engineers, fire men and teamsters, and the report of the court proceedings, which have been brought at Washington through the Manufacturers' association re straining the members of the .execu tive council individually and officially from placing the goods of a certain stove concern on the "we don't patron ize list which the report declared was an effort by arch enemies of labor after failure to disrupt all labor un ions to discredit the discretion, the HAIHULIAN'S CASE NOW ON Brief Filed Giving Railroad Magnate's Reasons for . RefusFug to Answer Questions Put by. Interstate Commerce -Commission. ' (By Wire to the Morning JStar.) New York, Nov. 12. The reasons given by E. H. Harriman as to why he should not answer certain ques tions put to him "during an investiga tion by 'the 'interstate Commission are set forth in a brief .which has been filed by former Judge R. S. Lovett, counsel for Mr. Harriman. The proceedings brought 'by the Commis sion to compel Mr. Harriman to an swer the questions is to come up be fore Judge Hough of the United States Circuit Court tomorrow. " The Principal point in the brief is the contention that the acts concern ing which Mr. Harriman was ques tionel did not relate to inter-state commerce nor to a violation of the inter-state commerce but were design ed to compel a disclosure by him of transactions for which "had they place neither the commission nor the Congress of tne unitea states coum afford a considerable remeay. ine brief also sets forth that- Mr. Harri man does not admit that the Inter state Commerce. Commission has any powers other than those conferred by the act of congress approved February 4, 1887, and the amendments thereto. The auestions to which Mr. Harri man objected related to -the .purchase of the stock of other railroads in the interest of the Union Pacific and to the Union Pacific dividend, and more particularly, the. $28,000,000 of Illinois Central, purchased at $175 a share.
