Committee.
New Orleans, Nov. 19.-Either The
odore Shaffer, president of the Anal
gamated Association of Iron, Tin and
Steelworkers, or Samuel Gompere,
president Of the American Federation
Of Labor, is destined to pass under a
cloud. The eclipse may be temporary
and the man who goes under may
emerge at some other time, but an
eclipse there will be for one or the
other. 1t is a fight to the finish, and
at present odds favor Gompers. The
trouble which so suddenly came to a
point in the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor yesterday
morning is an echo of the great strike
against the United States Steel cor
poration which was fought and lost
last year by the Amalgamated asso-
citation under the leadership Of Shaffer.
After his association had been de-
feated President Shaffer did not hesi-
tate to utter charges of a serious ma
ture against President GOmpers, as
well as against President John Mitch
ell OF the United M~ineworkers, and
Frank Sargent, Of the Brotherhood OF
Railway Trainmen. He asserted that
the organizations ver which these
men presided had, while listening to
the advice of their leaders, refused to
lend a helping hand to the Amalgamat-
ed association, and had even fought
against it in the dark. In obedience to
a resolution passed yesterday a COM
mittee Of five vas appointed to investi.
gate the charges made by Mr.. Shaffer
against Gompers.
