A characteristic sight which precedes

literally packed with row upon row OF

carefully arranged, the light glanclns

the owner of each stall shouts at the

courtship resulted in a wedding. They

IT'S TREASON, CRIES GOMPERS
ISSUES FINAL BLAST AGAINST
NEW INDUSTRIAL UNION.

He Charges That tho De Leon Socialists
Arc Playing Into the Hands OF the
Capitalists to XIII the American
Federat0n-Tales OF Missing Funds.
Tho calling OF a convention in Chicago
on June ~ by the Socialists to form tho
Industrial Union as rival to the American
Federation OF Labor Is stirring up the FED
erationists all over the country 30 much
has the excitement grown over the new
anti-Gompers movement that President
Gompers, who issued manifesto several
weeks ago warning the unions against the
new movement. sent out final manifesto
yesterday with his last words of warning.
Conpers declares that the agitation for
the new body is treason against the labor
movement az the Socialists are drawing
members Of the A. F. of H. into the move
ment. The leaders in the new movement
, are not idle in the can time and are spread
ing propaganda among the unions which
have lost strikes recently urging them to
give up the 4. F. Of l.. for the new organ
i2aton.
In his manifesto Gompers charges that
the De Leon Socialists and others are play
ing into the hands of those capitalists who
are opposing the unions. Thousands OF
dollars he says, that were given by the
unions in the American Federation OF Labor
in aid of the Western Federation Of Miners,
VIII ich is in sympathy with the anti-Gompers
movement. have never been accounted for.
He knows, however, he says, that this
organization has spent many thousands
OF dollars in circulars. charts and other
material of propaganda with the design OF
dividing the American Federation of Labor
as the first step toward destroying 1t.
why should trades unions silently wit
ness our members contributing further
funds to be used to the detriment Of labor
and the jury of our movement" he says.
I'VE recognize that the American Fedora
ton of Labor, being merely human insti-
bring it as near perfection as possible"
He asserts that the American Federation
OF Labor il the most successful general or
ganization the world has ever seen and
will withstand the assaults Of its enemies.
"Wilen any man or any set of men mask
behind the pretens, of labor in an attempt
to undermine the American Federation of
Labor" he continues, we say, as Gen.
Thomas did when Fort Sumter was fired
on: This Is treason, gentlemen; this Is
treason
He goes on to say that there is SINH
arity between the methods Of the Manu-
facturers' Association, which declares for
the open shop, and those Of the Socialists,
especially the De Leon Socialists, when
they attack tho A. F. Of L. They want to
wreck the unions as preliminary to start
ing new order of things.
A supplementary manifesto also was
issued BY Hugh Mctiregor, formerly an
officer of the A. Y. of l.. and still high in
the councils OF Gompers. He punches the
Social Democrats the International Work
ingmen's Association, the Socialist Trade
and Labor Alliance. composed of the De
Ieonites. and the American Labor Union,
which started the anti-Gompers fight, as
one and the same thing.

IVORY GAVEL FOR BATTERY DAN.
Lawyers Make Speeches and Feast in
Honor OF Magistrate Finn.


About every lawyer in Magistrate Bat
terry Dan" Firms district and lot of others
gathered In the jefferson Market court
yesterday just as the business OF the MORN
ing was drawing to close.
John G. Snyder. who lives in Brooklyn,
but has an office in Broadway had black
leather case under his arm, and when a
curious member asked what was in it he
exhibited handsome gold mounted ivory
gavel.
When Ma istrate Finn got up to go into
his private room his eyes fell upon a six
foot high floral horseshoe and a market
basket full of American Beauty roses.
That was the first thing to let him know
that something unusual was about to take
place.
William J. A. CatTrey, who was chairman
of the presentation committee, called the
meeting TO order and Louis II. Reynolds
was chosen chairman.
Eli Rosenberg suggested that some one
ought to ask Judge Finn to be present and
he was escorted to the bench. while an
orchestra played Hail to the Chief"
Then John e.. Snyder made a speech and
handed the gave to one OF the cops, because
the court gate was closed.
"Guess the gentleman had better come
up himself said the Magistrate as he
waved the cop aside.
Snyder presented tho gavel and the
orchestra struck up the anvil chorus from
al Trovatore." When the last strains of the
music had been drowned by the roar of
Sixth avenue elevated train Abe Gruher
was discovered in the limelight in an ora-
torical attitude. When he and Others had
told of their love for BATTERY Dan" the
chairman said he thought "tho Judge" had
been punished about enough.
Magistrate Finn said he would use the
gavel in the discharge of his duty as he saw
1t. without fear or favor. He would treat
all Glasses alike, and If he erred he trusted
that the error would be on the side Of mercy.
Then all hands went up stairs to the Civil
Court and ate salad and drank champagne.
