LAW IS BROKEN
SAYS GOMPERS
When States Induce immigration
From Foreign Shores.
DlSAGREES WITH EARLE
Says Decision of Solicitor Of Depart :
ment Of Labor and Commerce
Wont't Stand Test.

President Samuel GOmpers Of the
American Federation of Labor, disa-
grees entirely with the deductions,
and is very frank in his opposition to
the report of Solicitor Earle of the
department of commerce and labor,
on the subject of the violation of the
alien contract labor law by the impor-
tation of immigrants into South Caro-
lima. The department held that the
people Of South Carolina in bringing
over the Wittekind immigrants had
not violated the law.
When seen by a representative Of
The Atlanta Constitution in Washing
ton Friday and asked whether he or
the American Federation of Labor
would make test of the decision in
the courts, Mr. Gompers was silent.
THE legal advisers of the depart
ment Of commerce and labor have con
strued the law, and their construction
will have to stand until the courts
reverse it." he said Continuing, Mr..
Gompers declared:
1T has been held by the courts and
by the department that any promise
Of employment or promise to an alien
that he can secure employment in
America is contract It seems to
me q very convenient construction Of
the law to say that state Official
can do what a private citizen is in
hibited from doing"
The charge contained in some
southern newspapers that Mr.. Com
pers had raised the question of lille
gality in connection with these pro
ceedings denied by him He said
some of the boys must have called
the departments attention to the mat
ter, and asked that it be investi
gated.
Mr.. Gompers was very emphatic in
his statement that he had no wish
to obstruct immigration to the south,
tor, he declared, that he would like
to see many of the immigrants that
crowd into the large cities Of the
north, diverted to the south, as he
was convinced that immigration, prop
erly conducted, would vastly benefit
the south. 81 would be happy to see
the south continue to prosper" he af-

POLICYHOLDERS LOSE OUT
The Administration Tickets of Big In
surance Companies are Over
WhelminqIY Elected.


A New York special says: With the
close Tuesday of the ballot boxes for
the election of directors Of two great
insurance companies, the New York
Life and the Mutual Life Of New
York, it is absolutely certain that the
administration directors Of both are
overwhelmingly elected While the
majority in favor Of the administra-
ton ticket of the Mutual Life Of New
York is not so much as with the 9TH
ca company, it is conceded that the
administration ticket wins.
The victory of the administration
in the case of the New York Life is
so overwhelming as to put an end
to all further interest in the official
count. 1t is accepted on all sides, and
the administration officers are al1eady
being overwhelmed with congratuIa-
tions.
With the hundreds of thousands of
votes poHed, it win require several
days, and perhaps several weeks, to
secure an official announcement of
the result. But all is over now but
the official announcement, for the re-
suit is known.
It is now generally accepted that
many mistakes we're made in the OPP
position movement. 1t developed when
too late to remedy the mistake that
several of the directors named on the
so-called policy holders ticket were
men who were absolutely without
financial interest In either of the
companies, and it had a powerful
effect.
In the case of the Equitable Life,
there was no opposition ticket. 1t will
be recalled that when Thomas F.
Ryan acquired from Hyde enough
stock to give him control of the com
Pany, he at once deposited his con
troll in the shape Of q trust with Gro
yer Cleveland, Westinghouse and
O'Brien as trustees. Under the terms
of the trust, the policy holders them
selves were to elect by direct vote
a majority of the members of the
board, and the trustees OF the COM
pang, and the minority, was to he
named not by Mr. Ryan, but by
Messps. Cleveland, Westinghouse and
O'Brien-the three trustees named by
nina to have control of his stock. This
trusteeship is absolute and the trus-
tees have SO exercised it.

there would be a landslide in their be-
