lines for the advancement of the wage
carriers of the country.
No reform has ever been secured with
out struggle, sometimes through decades.
What we are striving for may come slow
ly, but it is coming surely. The American
Federation of Labor is endeavoring to con-
centrate the wage-workers of the country
upon all essential questions. They want
eight hours, and will persist until the
hours of toll are reduced that not
man or woman shall walk the streets In
idleness because they have nothing to do.
In spite of calumny and opposition, the
A. F. of L. has advanced, and accom-
plished more for the interests Of the work
ers of the country than all other organiza-
lions combined. The highest duty of the
wage worker Is due to the trades union.
1t is his hope for the future. 1t is the
basis of social order and the hope of the
government"
In closing Mr.. Gompers referred to the
trade movement in the District. and said
It should represent the best element of
local labor, and thus make its influence
felt throughout the country. Occupying the
position of the capital of the country,
the labor of the country will look to the
central body of this District TO represent
them, and speak for them, in all matters
brought to the attention of Congress for
