According TO the police. Barbour got his posi-
ton through the Young Mems Christian Asso-
clauon. he was assigned 10 the branch office at

REPLIES TO GOMPERS.
Smith Denies Using Money to In
fuence Trades Council.
tRy Telerraph 20 The tribune. ]

Cleveland. Dec. 2s-Alexander r. Smith, OF the
Merchant Marine League. replies to the charges
made by Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor that he had used
money illegally to secure the Endorsement of or
ganized labor for the purposes of the league.
He denies the charges and declares that what
ever he did in conjunction with Walter s. Weeks
secretary OF the Marine Trades Council. was
done in a straightforward manner. In part,
he says:
I believe the public is more interested in the
facts than in vituperative characterization. The
fact is. that while Mr.. Gompers urging in
convention in Minneapolis, opposition 10 the Gal
hnger Shipping bill, on some incomprehensibe
assertion about cOnscription, a large number OF
intelligent workingmen interested in the re-estab
liShment of moribund industry were, through
their organizations in all parts Of the country,
in perfect good faith petitiOning Congress-
through Speaker Cannon. to pass this hill.
! was Informed that the Marine Trades Coun-
Gil had adopted a resolution in favor of the
shipping bill. and I went TO the headquarters OF
that organization and saw Walter $. Weeks. who
told me his organization had adopted such
resolution. l asked Weeks if his organization
would be willing 10 state to the other labor or
ganizations the reasons why his council had
adopted that resolution, and ask others TO do
likewise. He said he thought that they would,
but that the cost of it would have to be supplied
by us. l said I thought l could secure funds to
pay actual cost of printing stationery and
postage. We expended about 500, and question
Mr. Gompers TO the impropriety of it.
