MR. GOMPERS RESENTS
COMMENTS OF Mr.. WI
Declares Labor Leaders Are
Not Agitators.
REFERENCES NOT WARRANTED
Expressions of the Chinese Minister
Criticised Before House Committee
and at n Meeting of Mems Club of
Northeast WashinStOn.

Minister WI Ting fang was again
criticised last night by President Gompers
of the American Federation OF Labor, who
takes exception 10 the Language used By
the Chinese diplomat in referring to
Labor agitators." Nj. Gompers considers
the comment uncomplimentary and un-
truthful.
President Gompers made his second
statement in regard to Minister WI in a
lecture on labor problems at the Mems
Club OF Northeast Washington. He
painted a general picture in dark and
somhre colors of the status Of the Ameri-
can laboring man. and pointed out the
safe pathway TO be pursued if troubles
of the future are TO be ayerted
Labor Problem No Fiction.
Il realize to some extent" said Presi-
den. Gompers, that | am in position TO
present the average view. from my near
ness to the problem. There are those who
say that there is no labor problem, that
the idea OF any such question being in eX
istence is to be found only in the feyered
brain of the modern labor agitator.
so profound thinker as one of the
foreign diplomats to the United States,
to the Secretary OF State, did not hesitate
to throw that epithet at us, and Il desig-
nate us as labor agitators.'
Let those VINO doubt that there is a
labor problem go TO the sweatshops of
New York, Chicago, and St. Louis, TO see
there men, women, and little children
working their hearts bloo1 from impov
erished bodies. Let these notice their,
faces. marked with premature decay and
they will realize. Ask them, then.
An Age of CommerciaIism.
This IS an age OF comm arcialism. To-
day 1t is not a question of manhood, or
womanhood, principle or love of right.
but a question of how much money is he
worth II is a day of the dollar. There
are comparatively few who care about
their fellows. Anything in business that
does not jar upon the surface may be
transacted.
After the address by President Comp
ers the rather small audience PROFOUND
ed various labor questions, which he an
swered. The speaker was introduced by
s. Edwin Thornton. There were on the
platform E. T. Peters, president of the
club; Rev DR.. RhiDelander, Rev. DR..
Stetson, and ether prominent Northeast
Washington citizens.
Mr.. T. V. Powderiy, Commissioner OF
Immigration, and Mr.. Gompers were
heard yesterday before the House Com
mittee on Foreign Affairs in advocacy of
the Chinese exclusion bill.
During his remarks Mr.. Gompers took
occasion TO criticise Mr.. WI, the Chinese
Minister for referring to the representa-
lives of labor organizations who are ad-
vocating the exclusion Of the Chinese as
"agitators."

both military and civil, in the archi-
pelago.
In a preliminary discussion as to the
order in which subjects should be dis
cussed. Governor Taft said that a person
who had lived as long as he had in the
islands became so saturated with the
whole matter that he was like the sugar
maple tree of Vermont and ran"
whenever he was tapped
The first question addressed to Gov
ernor Taft was as to the area of the
Philippine archipelago. He said there
were about lis, 900 square miles, or
enough to make two States the size of
Iowa.
Qualifications for Electors.
Asked as to the qualifications for cleo
tors in the islands. Governor Taft said
they were: The ability to speak and read
English or Spanish, or having filled a
municipal office under Spanish rule, or
paying SIS a year (gold) in taxes
THE commission he continued, found
the people divided into three PARTIES
one wholly opposed to American occupa-
tion; a second which was a substantial
party and favored the government that
was being established. and a third party
that was entirely indifferent. and favored
any government that could be established
and would protect them from violence
This last was the greatest party al
though composed entirely of ignorant
people.
The Federal Party.
''As to the Federal party, its platform
is divided in two parts. The first part
concerns what is at hand the present
purposes of the party and the second. not
exactly the aspirations of the party, but
something equivalent to it.
''In the first place, they asked for am
nesty for all political offenders. for the
organization of a partially popular gov
ernment, and for two or three delegates
representing them before the executive
and legislative departments in Washing
ton.
THE real reason for the support of the
Federal party is the urgent desire for
peace on the part of substantially all
classes, except those in the mountains.
Peace is the burden of their arguments.

THREE FOR THE CARR0LLS.
Won Full Set of Bowling Games
From Jolly Fat Mems Club.


The Jolly Fat Mems Club bowlers were
not SO jolly last night when they left the
Carroll Institute alleys. where they had
gone and lost three league games to the
home team. The result gives the Saen-
gerbund clear lead for second place and
the Fat Men go to the third hole, having
been in tie with the Saengers.
The bowling was of high order
throughout, with the Institute having the
best of it all the way through, except In
the first game. when, in the sixth box,
the Fat Men were sixty pins ahead, when
rolls waded in and won out by twelve
pins.
The rest of the games were won by
good margins. The second game ran up
to 903. and in it Rice totaled for 200
Smith led the evening with 22i as high
score. and Rodrck second with 204.
Smith had high average with 1876; Crist
came next with 179; Harlow had III. and
Rice 173. The latter bowled his second
game without a break and Smith did

in an official note to the State Depart
ment spoken of Mr.. Dennis Kearney as
labor agitator." Mr.. Kearney is the
man who is said TO have first organized
the workingmen of the Pacific Coast in
opposition to Chinese immigration, and
to have started the movement among or
ganiZed labor bodies against the i'm
portation OF Chinese.
Rcsents Mr.. Wu's Comments.
Mr. Gompers said that the Chinese Min
lister had also referred to others as Ia
Dor agitators.' He resented this conduct
on the part of Mr.. WI. and declared that
the representative of a foreign Govern
ment had no right to speak this way OF
an American citizen. He had no right
to refer by name to an American citizen,
especially in derogatory manner.
Mr.. WI he said had been treated with
every becoming courtesy by the Ameri-
can people, and he resented the sneer-
ing remark which he is credited with hav-
ing made.
Continuing. Mr.. Gompers said China had
no right to object TO the exclusion OF her
subjects from this country. She denied
Americans access 10 certain of her ports
and denied them free access 10 her vast
domain.
Mr.. Powderly stated that the hardships
encountered by the class of Chinese eX-
empt from exclusion al the detention sta
tions were insignificant 1t was the du-
plicity of the Chinese laborer. he said
who sought TO gain admission by assum-
ing to be in the exempted class that
caused the necessity for stringent eX-
clusion laws

JOHNSON ISSUES ULTIMATUM.
National League Players Must BE
Good or Get Out.

CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-'Any stars from the
National League that start any trouble
in the American League next year will
be handled without gloves" said Ban
Johnson today while discussing the work
of the umpires for the coming season
We intend to give the public clean,
sportsmanHke ball and any stars that
think they can do as they please in our
league will have to be very careful. as
we will not have any of the performances
of last year repeated.
This remark of the American League
leader indicates that the policy to be fol-
lowed this year will be more stringent
than it was last, and that any break by
the new men in the league this year will
be dealt with promptly. and in such a
way that there will be no repetition of
the offence.

fOP-NOTCH FIGHTERS
CONTINUE TO TALK
Public Grows Weary of Their
Constant Bickering.
.JeGries Refuses to SpIit the pDr.e
and Fitzsimmons VIII Not
Sign Articles.

NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-Sporting men are
rapidly growing tired of the insincere
| pickering between James ]. Jeffries and
Robert Fitzsimmons relative to another
match for the heavyweight championship
of the world.
For two months they have been firing
verbal threats and insinuations at each
other, while the followers of the ring
have patiently waited for developments.
All Mixed Up.
James C. Kennedy. who is the repre-
sentative of the Yosemite Athletic Club,
OF San Francisco. got permission from
Jefries to go ahead with an ATTEMPT to
secure Fitzsimmcns' signature to articles.
Kennedy saw the Cornishman last Satur-
day, and after confab gave out the fact
that Bob had agreed to fight under rea-
sonable terms and that Jeffries would un-
doubtedly sign articles today
Jeffries, however, arrived here on Sun
day and threw damper on the whole
arrangement by again declaring that he
would fight Fitzsimmons, winner take
all, though he told his friends privately
that he intended TO hold out for 75 and
70 per cent division of the purse.
Jem snySNo.
Kennedy met Jeffries today and told
him that Fitzsimmons had agreed to take
third of the gross, similar divisions to
go to Jeffries and to the Yosemite Ath-
letic Club. Jeffries lost no time in stat
ing that such proposition would not be
considered for moment.
In other words, Jeffries refused to split
the purse into equal parts, and in so do
ing he is not altogether to blame. The
sporting public has no confidence in such
affairs, for on many different occasions
fake fights have resulted
