STANDS BY STRIKE.
sompers Declares the Position of the
Federation.

Washington, Aug. 3l-The American
Federationist, which is the official or
gan of the Federation of Labor, and is
edited by Samuel Gompers, says.
we shall stand by the Amalgamated
association in the present conflict to the
full extent OF our power, both morally
and financially. We shall aid in every
lawful way the men on strike, or VINO
may come out on strike to maintain the
workers in their right to organize, and
to extend their organization; so that the
power which stands for their protection
and advancement against the aVar1ce
of concentrated wealth may be perfect
ed and perpetual ted We shall not relax
our efforts to aid the brave men who
are striking to bring this contest to an
honorable end and we appeal to every
fellow Wage-Worker and every sympa-
thizer to exert every power and influence
in the same direction"
The American Federationist, the Off
cial organ of the Federation of Labor
and of which Mr.. Samuel Gompers is
editor, today prints replies from a
number of prominent labor organiza-
ton advocates in Great Britain to an
inquiry from Mr. Gompers as to
whether it is true that Englands in
dustries are seeking other fields; If so,
whether this is the fault of the trades
unions. The replies are all negative as
to the influence of the unions. George
Barnes, general secretary of the Am al
gamated Society of Engineers, Man
chester. England, says that those in
dustries which are best organized on
the workmen's side are the most pros
porous industries of the country. The
ship building, engineering, coal getting
and cotton spinning are all well or
gained industries, and were never so
prosperous, whereas, on the other hand,
the heavy textile Industries, shoe max
ing and several other industries that
might be mentioned and which are but
indifferently organized on the side of
the work people, are dwindling.
