GoMPERS REPLIES TO PARRY
Claims Labor Desires Peace, but VIII
Not Run II Conflict IL
Forced.

WASHINGTON, April 16.-President
Gompers Of the American Federation Of
Labor today issued a statement in reply to
Mr.. Parry's report to the Manufacturers
association. II" says:
II there was any doubt that Mr.. Parry
had taken leave of his reason, the report,
or rather harangue, which he made to his
convention demonstrates it beyond. any
Parry's unJustiled and malicious opposition
to the workers efforts to secure material
and moral Improvement they simply write
themselves down to his low level and stand
committed with him for all the injury
which must follow from his rabid utter
ences, his venomous. and ignorant antagon-
ism, which must provoke only resentment
and retaliation.
Organized labor is the result of our in
dustrial development and environment. II
proposes to seure a larger share of the pro-
duction of wealth 1t seeks to secure these
objects by peaceful and lawful methods. 1t
aims to establish more rightful relations
between man and man.
Organized labor seeks no such conflict as
Mr.. Parry would promote, but neither will
II run away from one. We desire Industrial
and social peace and are making for 1T,
Mr.. Parry and those who act with him TO
the contrary Notwithstanding.
We shall be enabled soon to discern to
what extent the manufacturer of the
United States are in accord with him. At
this writing we are confident that he rep
resents but an inf1nitesmal part of the
| American employers. Organized labor faces
the future. confident and self-reliant and
foul Vituperation and abuse. Organized Ia
Dor is constantly striving for the attainment
! of a better and, higher life, the fulhllment
OF its mission for the brotherhood of man.

TANGLED TALE OF A QUARREL
George n. Merryman Complicated the
Family Fuss of MIR. and
Mra. TunnelL.

S. B. Tunnel and Mrs. Tunnell, who con-
duct a boarder feeding establishment at 400
North Eighteenth street, disagreed to u
an extent at dinner time yesterday evening
over spring styles for stub steaks or some
kindred topic, that Tunnel got himself ar
rested for asssultng Mrs. Tunnel with his
fist. But this is not the point. While the
loud voiced trouble wSs at its height and
the policemen on the field In walked George
D. Merryman, attracted by the crowd, and
seeding the dinner waiting on the tables,
sat dow and enjoyed a meal or two.
Madame" said he affably to Mrs. Tun-
nell who he thought was under arrest. DO
you wish me to come down to the station
and sign a bail bond for your release7"
why, this man doesn't belong here" ex-
claimed Mrs. Tunnel.
50 Mr.. Merrymal is a suspicious charac-
ter and in the city Jail. He is getting to be
a nuisance to the department, It being so
that an oficer can hardly go anywhere with
out being forced to arrest him. He walks
with a crutch, for which he has not the
slightest use, and which in moments
OF interest he forgets to put to the side
walk. When he was arrested last night he
carried a large grape basket, which he said
contained a little lunch. The statement
Was perfectly correct, the basket contain
ing a very little lunch and much other ma
terial. The lunch consisted Of 5 cents
worth Of cookies. Then there were wrapped
inNa large amount Of papers a Brandeis
savings bank which he had been trying to
sell all day, a large and ornamental double
nickel and china inkstand, a little clothing,
two Jars Of rouge for the face, one partially
used, two more Jars of cold cream and one
camphor compound. a large package of sas-
safras and a jar Of matted milk, and be-
yond this various bottles and boxes OF shoe
blaoking, perfumery and extracts.

Thought to Have Looted
a Home.

The house OF Mrs. Edward Black at 230s
Michigan avenue was entered yesterday aft
ernoon about $3.50 o'clock, ransacked and a
IS bill and baby's gold ring taken. Mrs.
Black was in another part of the city at the
time, but some Of the ~neighbors saw two
men about the place and gave such accurate
descriptions of the pair that Ray Brown Of
1913 Bristol street was arrested soon after
the theft, and later on Pat Carol Of 1920
North Twenty-hrst street was also taken
to the police station, These two were last
night seen and identified by Mrs. c. w.
Hodge Of 2SO4 Michigan avenue and Neva
Willis Of 921 North Twenty-fourth street,
who were positive that the prisoners were
the men they had seen at the Black house.
The pair were seen to try the front and
back doors and then raise a front window
and enter. Neither of the prisoners was
charged with daylight breaking and enter
ing, but this will probably be done today.
