LABOR LEADERS, VIEW.
Address OF Samuel 0omnera Before the
Annual Convention OF American
Federation Of Labor

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 13-Over $50
delegates are attending the eighteenth
animal convention of the American
Federation of Labor, now in session
here. At yesterdays session President
Samuel Gompers delivered his annual
address and the various committees
were appointed.
President Gompers recalled with pride the
fact that there are now in direct aniliation with
the federation e. national and international
unions, with 10. 500 local unions attached ten
state declarations: 81 city central labor unions
and trades assemblies; 81 local trade unions
having no nationals; 100 federal labor unions:
81 amltated nationals report OF charters
granted. He also reported with pride the de-
feat Of the attempt to withdraw the carpenters
and printers He declared that sectional
division was turtful and urged the obliteration
Of geographical lines He extended the idea
and spoke hopefully Of the growth Of the in
ternational unionism. He referred to the good
work of the local and federal unions
President Gompers threw down the gauntlet
to the socialists He said: The trade union
ist Is not likely to stake his future hopes on the
fond chance OF the many millions turning phil
osophers in the twinkling of an eye. The more
Intelligent, realizing their inability to create
Millennium. will not descend to trickery or Jug
Cling with terms We want legislation In the
interest Of labor: we will secure it. too. by act
ing as CraQc OnlOntStS raGn6r IMAM OV turning
our trade unions into partisan ward clubs"
Mr. Gompers took strong grounds on the
matter OF injunctions in labor disputes He
said: THAT relief from this form OF judicial
abuse Of the in5unctive power is necessary be-
comes clearer with each recurring contest. We
insist that the workers have the right to quit
their employment either singly or in unison.
whenever the conditions of employment become
irksome or change or improvement is de-
sired that when any representative Of the
workers engaged in q contest Is directed by
them to perform any duty for the furtherance
of the purpose for which the cessation OF work
was inaugurated. that he shall have the right
to perform that duty without judicial inter-
ference by injunction. If a representative of
labor Is guilty of violation of law. he Is amen
able to that law the same as any other citizen
ing any Of its citizens from committing q
breach OF the law II any wags-earner engaged
