ATTACK UPON LABOR ANSWERED Gompers Writes Sllrring Re ply to Roosevelt's Recent Letfer to Knox ATTACK THINLY VEILED Gompers Says the Supposed Attack Upon Him Falls to Deceive Any oneStrikes Over Gomper48 Shoul ders at the Hearts of the Great Rank and File of Workers and Other Liberty-loving Citizens of Our Country No Desire to Bask in .Sunlight of Roosevelt's Benevo lent Assimilation. , (By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, D. C, Oct. 26 Claim ing the .right to reply to President Roosevelt's recent letter to Senator Knox in which the president called upon Mr. Bryan to specifically in dorse Mr. Gomper's interpretation of the anti-injunction plank of the dem ocratic platform, President Samuel Gompers, of the American Federa tion of Labor, today made public his reply which the following are quota tions: "President Roosevelt ... makes a direct and specific attack upon labor. : "The pretence that (he attack is upon me Is too thinly veiled to de ceive anyone. He strikes over my shoulders at the hearts of the great rank and file of the workers "and other liberty-loving citizens of our country. So far as I am concerned, I have neither the inclination or the desire to bak in the sunlight of President Roosevelt's benevolent as similation by which he placates some; by the big stick, browbeats others and by his sophistry hopes to fool the masses into supporting Injunction Judge Taft. "If the courts have not invaded hu man liberty, if they have not under taken to protect corporate interests to the detriment of the people, why did President Roosevelt characterize Judge Grosseup's reversal of Judge Landis' $29,000,000 fine upon the Standard Oil Trust as 'a gross mis carriage of justice?' Why did he, In his special message to congress, Jan- ury 3, 1908. say: 'It Is air wrong to use the injunction to prevent the entirely proper and legitimate actions of labor organizations in their strug gle for industrial betterment, or un der the guise of protecting property rights unwarrantably to Invade the fundamental rights of the individual. It Is futile to concede, as we all do, the right and the necessity of organ ized effort on the part of wage earn ers, and yet by injunctive process to forbid peaceable action to accomplish the lawful objects for which they are organized and upon which their suc cess depends.' And further: 'If sonio way of remedying the abuses is not found, the feeling of indigna tion against them among large num bers of our citizens will tend to grow so extreme as to, produce a revolt against the whole use of the proceeds of injunction." ."In the same message he says he considers it most unwise to abolish the use of the process of injunctions,' The veriest tyro of a layman, Itaurh , less one familiar with the injunction process, In his wildest dreams never suggested the abolition of the injunc tion process. It is not its abolition that labor desires but the restoration ! to Its henfificUnt lis from which It has been rushlessly diverted; from the Protection Of property rights tOMn, i Madison Hiurp nnrt at other the Invasion of presidential freedom.

VbW 1at BLIZZARD IN NEW MEXICO COUNTRY STAND TRIAL SECOND TIME T. S. Wiiitmore, Brooklyn Ma- torman, Charged With Mur dering His Wile TWO NtW WITNESSES I'rosecutor Believes He Will Secure a Conviction I'pon Kvidence of New Witness Prisoner's Defense Will be, us Before, an Alibi State's Theory is That Wljitmore, Jealous of His Wife, and Infatuated With Another Woman, Killed His Wife, and Left Her Denuded Body in the Swump. (By Leased Wire to The Times) New Lork, Oct. 26 Theodore S. Whitmorej the Brooklyn motorman whose wife was murdered and thrown Into the Lamp Black Swamp, near Harrison, N. J., was brought from his cell in the Hudson county jail to Jersey City today to stand trial a second time for the woman's murder. He was taken to the court of oyer and terminer in Jersey City where the trial will be conducted. : Whltmore faces two witnesses who did not testify at the first trial. Upon their vital testimony rests the belief of the prosecutor that he will secure a conviction."" Whltmore's defense will, as before, be an alibi. Chief among the new witnesses will be Mrs. Lottie Carroll, 19 years. old, recently arrested in Brooklyn. . She lived at th" t-Ni; lious'e with the "WfStfcoreB, on Adams street, Brooklyn. Her tes timony is to be used In an effort to break down the alibi of the defend ant. The statement she has made to to the authorities is in direct contra diction of the statements of Whitmore regarding his whereabouts on the night of December 25, 1907, when Mrs. Whltmore was seen in his com pany, leaving their apartment. It was on that night that the woman was slain and her body taken to the Lamp Black Swamp. The theory of the state is that Whitmore, jealous of his wife and in fatuated with Miss Georgia Dickin son, In whose company he was much seen, killed his wife, and left her de nuded body in the swamp. The case of the people is In charge of Attorney General McCarter, who will be aided by Prosecutor Garvan. Whltmore's defense Is in charge of Alexander Simpson, who defended him in the first trial and who . se cured a disagreement of the jury for his client. ; The other important new witness Is Miss Sadie Williams, who was ar rested In Philadelphia recently. It Is expected that this witness will testify to several points that were not covered up in the first trial and that her evidence will go far toward convicting Whltmore, She disap peared before the former trial and was not located until a week ago. Whltmore declared today that he had no fear of the new witnesses. "I expect that Mrs. Carroll will help me rather than hurt me," was the prisoner's comment. "I am con fident of acquittal."'
