F. I. as unfair to organized labor and in the publications of affiliated organ ized bodies and that It has formed a conspiracy and boycott to Injure the business and financial Interests of tha range company.

RESTRAINED 1 TI RALEIGH, N. C, TUESDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 17, 1SC7. iWAGESMlISTNOT THIS TfME YEA (By Leased Wire to Tho Times.) .New Yoivk, Dae. 17 Samuel Gompors, president .of the American Federation' of Labor, lias -sered no tice upon omplovers that attempts 1o reduce wages at this time will bp fous'it to the utmost. He' delivered tho -ultimatum in an address at a dinner of lha Civic Federation, at tended by 800 persons at the Hotel Astor. John Mitchell alto included in his speech a similar warning to employers. 'Since I have been In New York," taid Mr. Compcrs, ,-I have been a; Miss ()lpi Hjostedt, who was re cently "rescued" from lo? cabin in Halifax county, X. C where she al leged she vas forcibly held. Kbe was returned to her former home in Asbury J'ark, X. J., as printed in The Krcnhig Times news stories last week. proached a dozen tinies by baniiers. financiers, capitalists,-'. In open con versation, in v.-rhlen. communica tions, nnd in .'whispers to the effect that wages must come down; that the laboring man must make up his mind to bear hi.-, share of the hard times. "And I turned to those men and I asked them whether' the soil of our country is less fertile, the. treasure beneath the soil less valuable, men's minds less active, t lie laboring man less. Industrious. Wherefore, I asked them, is there reason .or 'necessity- to thus attack tho American Htiaidard of our workingmen? : "Tho'; hkitory of industry demon strates, that every such reduction of wages, intended to 'meet 'such condi tions as now exist, has only accentu ated the t,il nation, made mutters worse. When you reduce the labor ing man's earning capacity you re duce his consuming power and there by Intensify what was already bad enough. "So I say to the employers, to the bankers, the lawyers, tho .manufac turers,' tho in I no operators; to all employers that if they now at tempt, to reduce tho wages thoy arc not go ing to havo the easy sailing they had a few years ago, for the American worklngman has come to the con clusion that if, for any reason the financial situation is as it is and I shall not suggest any reason--it was not, at any rate, due'to any fault on tho part of tho working people. They have made up their minds that they are not going to be the chief sufferers because of an artificial panic, or of one caused by. the blun ders of thoso in charge of the finan ces of tho country.'-' Speaking along the same line, Mr. Mitchell said: ' I "It Is not. going to make matters ,any better to reduce wages. Such resorts havo never failed to make .matters worse, Instead of better." I The dinner followed a day session In the Park Avenue Hotel. Among the spectators were August Belmont, . Andrew Carnegie, General Frederick i D.
