COMPERS STRIKES A SNAC
John Mitchell and Others of the Executive Council Not Pleased
 With His Radical Action
MITCHELL TO REMAIN INACTIVE
Special to Democrat.)

Washington, D. C., Sept 22-Or- ganized labor's incursion into the field of national politics may prove troll blous to some of the leaders of the movement.
 The meeting here of the executive council, of American Federation was not altogether harmonious, it is as serted the positions taking by Presi- dent GOmpers was the subject of con sideratiOn and, 1t is said, of good deal of criticism. The more conser- vative members of the council fear that the organization, by its hostility to many members of Congress, both republicans and democrats, is weak ening it's influence. Some of them did not hesitate at the meeting of the council to voice their opinions pretty strongly to President Gompers.
 On the surface, the members of the council profess to stand by MT Com pers in the position he has taken and in which he has placed the Organiza- tion; but, privately, they do not hesl- tate to express their disapprobation of at least the radicalism which has been manifested thus far In the labor campaign. Among those who were disposed to criticize the methods em- ployed by President Gompers was John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, the most conservative labor leader in the coun- try and one of the ablest men con nected with organized labor. Mir Mitchell was supported in his criti. cism by -President Duncan of the American Federation, and other important figures in the executive council.
 It developed after the adjournment of the executive council that some labor politics as well as national poli- tics was mixed up in the sessions of the council. A strong element of the American Federation is inimical to President Gompers and an effort is to be made to depose him from the presidency of the organization. The movement in this direction is backed by some of the strongest members Of the executive council and is of long standing. It has been given added strength by Mir Gompers' entrance into national politics. Vice-Presi- dent Duncan, who Is the practical head of the Granite Cutters Inter- national Union. is the man selected to make the fight to succeed NIT Gompers at the head of Americas greatest labor organization. Just now all the rope he wants is being given Mir Gompers in the belief that he will succeed in hanging himself by election day. If the labor cam paign should prove a failure. in def mite and substantial results. many of the labor leaders expect good excuse will be at hand to inaugurate a spirited campaign against Mir Comp CTS.
 It was regarded as significant that MT Mitchell announced while here his decision to take no active part in the political campaign this fall. He had been counted on by President Gompers to make speeches in several states. That he is not to appear on the stump is serious disappoint- ment to Mir Gompers and his friends. The mere fact that he Is not to par tieipate in the campaign may weaken If materially among the members of organized labor In some states
