SAYS MR.. SHONTS
MADE A PROMISE
GOmpers Talked With Him
Long Ago as to COOlie
Canal Workers.
GIVEN DIRECT STATEMENT
Federation's Head Will Take Chinese
Question Into Various Election
Campaigns This Fall.

The formal denunciation yesterday by
President Gompers of the American
Federation Of Labor Of the adminiFtra-
tion's intentions 10 employ Chinese labor
IN the construction of the Panama Canal
has opened a gigantic battle that was
not expected TO be waged until late in
The fall.
Agreement to Wait.
Although il has long been the deter
minati0n Of the canal commission 70 use
coolie labor or the isthmus tactt
agreement is understood to have been
reached that no step tow-lrd carrying
the decision into effect should be made
until after the heated season. At this
time every official of the commission is
absent from the city on his vacation.
President Gompers. IN his formal crtti-
cism Of the policies Of the commission,
raises sharply a question Of veracity
between himself and Chairman ShonJs,
He says:
Some time ago in an interview l had
with Chairman Shonts I protested
against the employment of Chinese
coolies in the Panama Canal construc-
ton. as had been published in the news
papers it was the intention Of Mr.
Shonts to do. He there and then en-
phatlcally stated that 1t was not the in
tention 10 employ Chinese coolies and
that they would not be employed under
his administration.
Taken Into Campaign.
Il is understood that Mr.. GOmpers
purposes to make this question an addi'
tional issue in the aggressive campaign
he is conducting in the name Of Iht
American Federation Of Labor against
Speaker Cannon and some other Repub
lican representatives who are standing
for reelection this fall.
