GoMPERs NOT AN ANARCHIST.
He Will Not JeOpardize the Interests
of His Labor OrganizatiOn


of His Labor Organization.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 3.-Mr. Samuel
Gompers, president of the American Fed
Grafton OF Labor, when asked to-day why
he and other trade unionists did not attend
the convention held in st. Louis on last
Monday and Tuesday, said In regard to
the convention held last Monday at ST.
Louis l have been placed in a most peculiar
position The call for the convention con-
tanned my name as officially indorsing it.
This was certainly a mistake in the first
instance 1t was placed there by Mr..
Ratchford, under the impression that,
knowing my intense sympathy with the
miners in their just struggle, that l would
go to any length in order to help them to
success, but my name was placed there
and the official Endorsement given to it
without my knowledge or consent. AS you
will see, the call was issued to organized
labor. it's various divisions and subdivi-
sions and to all reform, social, educational
and scientific bodies, who condemn govern
ment by Injunction Under this call any
body of men who are opposed to govern
ment by injunction would be entitled to
seat in the convention. In other words,
persons entirely remote from and having
no connection with the labor movement
could have been in attendance, and by
overwhelming numbers direct the course,
mapped out the policy and dominated the
trade-union movement. AS president of the
American Federation of Labor, a. RESPONSE
BILE officer in the trade-union movement, L
would not dare hazard the interest of our
feloW-workers at the hands of persons
who might be entirely irresponsible. There
are numbers of people who are opposed to
government by injunction and who are yet
hostile to the clear-cut and well-defined
purposes of the trade-union movement.
Il shall say nothing in criticism of the
action of the st. Louis convention, and
did not say anything earlier because l did
not wish to interfere with the programme
it mapped out, not even its appeal for
contribution OF this days wages, and am
glad that what L now say Will not appear
been acted on. / do know that the
trade uniOnstS of the country have
sponded most literally in aid of the
miners; they are doing so now, and will
continue to do so on this line in order to
help the miners win. So far as | am con-
cerned l have not lost one jot of interest.
On the contrary, if possible. / am more
intensely interested in having the miners
win, and anything that | can do without
hazarding the interests of labor and our
attain that end. AS in the beginning l
stand ready to-day to follow Mr. Ratch
ford's lead in this strike in everything ex-
cept to place the destinies of move
ment in the hands of persons representing
reform, social, educational and scientific
or other bodies who are simply agreed in
their opposition to government by injunc-
ton. We ask the assistance of all to at
tain that end but cannot permit either
domination of our movement nor the direc-
verting it into irrational and improper
channels"

GENERAL TRADE NEWS.
Previously Noted Activity In All Lines
Maintained This Week

NEW YORK, Sept. 3-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: Previous activity in all
lines of trade is maintained. There is a
better tone to demand of jobbers and the
volume of business in wool, leather cloth
ing, hats, groceries and light hardware has
increased. There is a better request for
wooden and cotton goods, jewelry and rub
ber goods and for boots and shoes Some
wholesale merchants at Western centers
report the largest volume of August trade
on record. There has been an increased con-
sumption of cotton by Southern mills
Western iron and steel mills have orders to
keep them busy until Jan. l. In the central
Western States the bituminous coal strike
has had a further depressing effect on the
general industrial situation. At the North
west some commercial houses have had to
work overtime to meet the demand for
goods, and the warm weather is
reported to have practically assured the In
dian corn crop. On the Pacific coast wheat
exports have been checked by inability to
secure erews for vessels. Mercantile col
lections have greatly improved in some
sections
Last weeks general and unprecedented
expansion of prices for staples is continued
