dence by laboring men in Chicago that
the surest way to defeat a candidate
for political office was TO have him
Endorsed by the labor leaders. as the
rank and file under the Australian bal

overthrow a settled condition, to tear
down established institutions and to
attack the respect of the courts at the
most vital point.
Gompers Defends the Measure.
Samuel NJ. Gompers, president of the
+. of L., challenged many of the state
ments of opponents of the measure.
Taking up the statement of Daniel
Davenport, in which the charge was
made that the labor leaders as q rule
were socialists, Gompers said he had
refuted this statement at the time it
was made by Davenport before the
labor committee of the house, previous
Iy to its having been made TO the ju-
dietary committee. For this reason
he declared that Davenport had stated
what he himself knew TO be false.
Gompers declared that the use of the
Injunction against labor was cf COM
paratively recent origin and entirely
unjuStitied.

James NJ. Beck, who had opposed
the bill. he said. in his hearing before
the committee had quoted him Com

this country and was enjoined by the
courts injunction. l would not obey
that Injunction Commenting on this
Gompers declared: Il resent that
statement most emphatically."
Does Not Represent q Majority.
Speaking of the extent to which Ia
Dor is organized Gompers said: Il
agree that we do not represent ma
jority of the workingmen of the coun-
try, but 1 venture to say that we rep
resent the most intelligent. the most
skillful and the most manly Of the
workmen OF the country, and this,
too, without any reflection upon the
non-union men, Gompers concluded
with the belief that the bill would be
passed at this session.
This session ended the hearings OF
