TWO BRANCHES OF THE

Big Fight Pending In Congress
Over Representative Gil
bert's Labor Measure.

PROPERTY INTERESTS
ARE MUCH AROUSED
All Protest Against the Grant
lng of TJm to Rioting
Strikers.
(Citizen Correspondence.)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27. There are
Indications of big fight in congress
over Representative Newton W. Gil
bert's bill, which prohibits the issuance
of an Injunction in labor disputes un
til after adverse party baa been served
with a notice and given an opportu
nlty to be heard.
, Property interests all over the coun
try are aroused by this bill and are
bringing all possible pressure to beur
to have It killed in the committee, on
Judiciary, where It has been referred.
Capitalists who are large employers of
labor are uctlve In the light against
the bill. They claim that a law of
this kind would be pernicious in the
I extt erne. They assert that if It be
comes necessary to serve notice on
strikers who are ubuul to commit dis
orderly conduct, before a temporary re
straining order, can be Issued the dam
age In Mine enses out of tell will be
done before the court can prevent It.
The usefulness of a temporary re
straining order, it is argued, Is. lu the
fact that It can be applied Immediately
when a critical sltuutlon arises, leuv
Ing It to the Judge to fleelde in calmer
moments and ifter a hearing pf all
sides whether or nor. the Injunction
should he made permanent.
Floods of letters are being received
by congressmen protesting against the
Gilbert bill and an equally large num
ber of working-men are urging that it
be passed. The worklngmen suy that
the hilt Is mild and fair and in the In
terest of a square deal all around.
They rely a greut deal on the helpful
Influence of the president. The para
graph of the president's message upon
which the Gilbert bill is founded is as
follows:
"There has been demutid for depriv
ing courts of the power to Issue In
junctions in labor disputes. Huch spe
cial limitation of the equity power of
our courts would be mqst unwise.. It
Is true that seme Judges have misused
this power, but this does not Justify a
denial of this power and more thun an
Improper exercise of the power to call
a strike by labor leaders would Justify
the denial of the right to strike. The
remedy is to regulate the iprocedure by
requiring the Judge to give due notice
to the adverse parties before granting
the writ, the hearing to be eg parte
If tho adverse party does not appear at
the "time and place ordered. What Is
due notice must depend upon the facts
of the case; It should not be used as a
pretext to, permit violation of law or
the jeopardising of lifo or property,
Of course, this would not authorize th
Issuing of a restraining order or lu-
Junction in any case In which It is not
already authorised bjt existing law."
H. R, Fuller, -the accredited repre
sentative before congress of the five
brotherhoods of railroad trainmen, is
lining up his force preparatory to sup
porting Mr. Gilbert In the fight that is
brewing. Local unions of railroad men
all over the country will be instructed
