THE LABOR LEADERS.
NEW YORK, June 23.-General Work
man Powderly's attack on ex-President
Gompers and the american Federation of |
Labor, at the knights of Labor Cooper
Union mass meeting on Friday, is
generally considered as the forcrunner of |
a struggle between the two organizations
that is likely to result to the disadvantage |
of both. Conservative men on both sides |
deplore the controversy, and hope that
the dispute may yet be amicably' settled.
President Gompers, however, is up in
arms, and is, if anything, more aggressive
than Powderly, aud courts full sitting |
of the whole trouble.
President Gompers was seen at the
headquarters of the American Federation
to day and expressed himself very forcibly
concerning Powderly. He enumerated
the case OF the striking cigarmakers,
printers and iron steel workers with scabs,
and said the documents were at hand to
prove in black and white the truth of his
assertions. Continuing, President Com
pers said:
charge the officers of the Knights OF
Labor as being cheap and servile labor
agents, and that they have made the
Knights of Labor organization the same
to the labor movement in general that the
Printers Protective fraternity, organized
to furnish scab labor, is to the Inter
national Typographical, Union. General
