Arrival Of PrGSidGltG0npGTS Of the
American Federation.
IMPORTANT OBJECT OF His TOUR.
Met at The Ferry and Escorted to The Meeting Of
The Council Of Federated Trades By the
Coast SGamGI, who Proceed TO Celebrate
ThGiT Unions sixth Anniversary.

Samuel Corners, President of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, arrived in San
Francisco at : 80 O'Clock last evening. His
visit here is of considerable Importance to
organized labor, inasmuch as he is the first
national leader to come 10 the Pacific Coast.
He had not been expected 10 reach this
city before to-day, and when it was learned
on Thursday night that he was to arrive
day earlier the programme for his reception
and entertainment had to be hastily rear
ranged. A meeting of the Executive Com
nrittee Of the Council of Federated Trades
was therefore held yesterday morning and
the necessary preparations were made.
1t was decided to secure quarters for the
DISTINGUISHED visitor at the California
Hotel, and a telegram was also sent to
Eugene Haugh and C. J. Boyle, the agents
f.the federation at Sacramento, to meet Mr..
Gompers upon his arrival there. They did
so and entertained him until his departure
from the Capital city.
The train was met at tho SiXteenth-street
Station, Oakland, by \. Fuhrmann, A. Sui
livan, b, J. Pye, E. Mcclure and NJ. Roths-
child Of the Councils Reception Committee.
Mr.. GompeIs was found in the smoking
room of sleeper and introduced to the
members Of the committee by MIR. Boyle,
who had accompanied him from Sacramento.

After the exchange Of greetings MI.
Gomper5 was asked as to his wishes in

ing the evening. He at once created a
The morning call., 1891-03-07

Career of the National Leader of Organ
lied Labor.
Samuel Gompers is of German descent,
as his name would indicate, but was born
in London, England forty-one years ago.
He received his early education in the Lon
don night schools, aud came TO this country
when IS years of age. Since he attained
his majority his life has been devoted to
the cause of trades unions. First he
learned the shOemaker's trade, but soon
abandoned that occupation and became
cigar-maker 1t was in the Cigar-makers'
Union OF New York that he became prom
ineut in labor ranks and his executive abil-
ity was SHOWN.
When the union became divided into two
factions and the SOcialistc element tried to
spread its doctrine throughout the United
States. GomperS came to the front as the
leader of the conservatives 1t was not
long before he succeeded in defeating the
schemes of the Socialists. He so worried
them that they seeded from the union and
formed the Progressive CIgar-makerS,
Union. This new organization found itself
unable to handle the interests OF the trade,
and finally went back into the parent
union.
He first gained national prominence dur
ing the contest between the CIgar-makerS
Union and the Knights Of Labor. Tie
cigar-makerS had not been connected with
tie Knights OF Labor very long before
Gompers predicted that the order would
prrcipitate a crisis in the labor world. This
was because the tendency Of the knights
was to Oblterate distinctions between the
trades. lie was OF the opinion that the
principle of distinct trades unions was the
correct one.
An opportunity to oppose the movement
that WIS sweeping trades unions away
came when the Knights Of Labor adopted a
cigar label different to that used by the
CIgaT-ma6erS' Union. After Il struggle last
ing many months, the Clgar-makeTs gained
a victory under the guidance OF GomperS.
When the Amer an Federation OF Labor
was formed IN 1885, 1t was oyershadowed by
the extraordinary growth of The knights OF
Labor, and GOmperS saw that the fedora
ton would soon become a powerful factor
in the Industrial world, and, 10y reason of
active work and great executive ability, he
WIS elected It's President on December I,
1886
From the time he became its President
the American Federation of Labor has
steadily gained the aScendency over the
Knights Of l. Dor. Since he became pr0mi-
ntnt as a national labor leader, Mr..
Gompers has been offered many Positions
OF honor Governor Hin of New York
asked him 10 accept a membership in the
State Board of Arbitration, but lie declined
the honor because its acceptance would
impair lis Influence with the labOrlng
classes.
lie was a member of the New York
Worlds Fair Committee, and he declined
tie nomination Tor the Assembly in the
Seventh District of New \ ork, because he
held that the Office as President OF the
American Federation Of Labor is a greater
trust and more acceptable than any position
a political party could give him.
