The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1904-03-19

Washington, D. c., March 17.-Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation Of Labor, thoroughly alive
to the situation so far as Labor legis-
lation is concerned has sent an urgent
appeal to the workingmen of the I'm
ted States, advising them to let their
congressman know how they feel to-
wards the proposed labor legislation
now pending before congress.
As far back as September Mr.. Com
pers urged the workingmen to get in
terested in legislative matters, par
ticularly the Eight Hour Bill, and the
Anti-Injunction Bill. They are now
being considered before the Judiciary
committee Of the House. During the
History of these bills no such opposi-
ton has been encountered as that
which Is being met this year.
Mr.. Gompers says:
Representatives: Of Manufacturers
Associations, Citizensa Alliances, So
called Parry Organizations and in
.dividual manufacturers, as we'll as a
large number of paid attorneys in OPP
position to5both these measures,," have
appeared before the Committees In
some instances it is claimed by the at
torneys that the: woEking, people of this
country are not interested, in, and do
not want, this legisia1tEiion.
The labor world. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1896-current, 1904-03-19
The request submitted in the circular

The request submitted in the circular
of September last, has not been COM
piled with as fully as we desire, from
the fact that while the members Of Con-
gress are being petitioned by che Man.
ufacturers' and Business Associations
in their districts, they have up to this
time received but very few pet lions
from members of Organized Labor. AS
it is necessary in the interests of these
bills that the members of Congress
should receive petitions Of these bills
from the organizations of labor. as
