SAYS SKATER
NEVER ASKED
PRESIDENT GOMPERS DENIES
AID WAS SOLICITED:
OTHER SIDE OF STORY
No Meeting Was Arranged Between
Federation President and
Mr.. Morgan.

Washington, Oct. 4.-President
Gompers, of the American Federation
of Labor, publishes in the October is
sue of the Federationists, the official
organ of that body a vigorous and
detailed statement in reply to the
charges made by President Shaffer,
of the Amalgamated Association of
Iron and Steel Workers, regarding
the attitude of Mr.. Gompers and Pres
ident Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers Of America, during the re-
cent steel strike.
Mr.. Gompers says: "Mr. Shaffer
says that he especially relied upon
the American Federation of Labor
for financial assistance. I assert
that he never asked for any.
Regarding Mr.. Skaters statement
that he arranged a meeting between
j. P. Morgan and Mr.. Gompers, for
which he alleges Mr.. Morgan gave
up his vacation, but Mr.. Gompers fail
ed to appear, Mr.. Gompers says:
"Mr. Shaffer says that which is
absolutely untrue, and he knows it."
Mr.. Gompers says that what Mr..
Shaffer wanted him to do was to have
a general union strike in aid of the
steel strike. This, Mr.. Gompers says,
he could not do. 81 feel confident"
says Mr.. Gompers, that the execu-
tive officers of the Trade Unions Of
America ought not, and would not,
violate or break their contracts or
agreements with their employers
throughout the country, Hence, there
would not and ought not to be a wide
spread sympathetic strike"
Noncompliance with his request it
is asserted, is the basis of the bitter
attacks by Mr.. Shaffer.

SUGGEST ONE MORE RACE.
Which Would Decide Whether Super.
iority Is In Men or Boat.

London, Oct, 4.-There is a feeling
of supreme disappointment in Lon.
don. over the failure of Shamrock II
to win even a single race. Those
who denounced Sir Thomas Lipton's
ambition, asserting that he was using
his yacht to advance his businss in
terest, now admit that his sportsman's
spirit deserved a better result. When
the American yacht was leading near
the home stretch the news was re-
ceived in silence by the crowds on the
embankment. There was never much
betting in this country and the dis
appointment among the masses is sin
cere and general.
The question is raised whether the
defeat of the challenger was due to
superiority in seamanship or
to the better constructive
ability of the Americans. With a
view to settling the question. the
Daily Express has cabled Commodore
Morgan and Sir Thomas Upton sug-
costing that they should arrange
ace with Columbia's crew on board
Shamrock and the crew of the chal-
lenger on board the defender.
