LABOR LEADERS
CALL ON CANNON
Speaker Takes Advantage of
the Visit to Express Opinion
of Mr.. GomperS.
LATTER ABLE AS ORGANIZER
NO RIGHT, HOWEVER, TO CON-
TRoL VOTES.

Washington, Dec. 7.-Spea1er Cannon
today expressed his sentiments toward
organized labor and its leader Samuel
Gompers, with respect to the latter's
| campaign for his (the Speaker's) de-
Ieat, the occasion being a call on him
py committee from the local union
or plate engravers. A set of resolutions
commencing the speaker for his Iegis-
latlve work in behalf Of the plate work.
ers was presented by the chairman of
the delegation, Charles T. Smith. In
reply Speaker Cannon, after expressing
his qualification at the confidence con-
veyed, entered into an informal discus
sion of "one man political leadership
OF organized labor. He said that while
he bore no enmity to the president of
! the American Federation of Labor, he
| did not believe that union men as
American citizens would ever accept a
dictatorship over their votes. That if
he were a craft worker he would ally
himself with a trade union because
uniOniSm has been the vehicle of all
progress toward better conditions for
the wage-earners; and while his fealty
| toward organized labor would not wav-
er if he was affiliated with it. he, as an
American citizen, would hold his fran
chise above the right of any leader TO
direct.
Ability of MIR. Gompers.
He paid a high compliment to the
ability of Mr.. Gompers as an organizer
and expressed himself as highly sensi-
bic of the work done by him within the
functions allotted to him as a labor
leader and as the president of the
American Federation in behalf of the
working man and the country. Coin
cidentally he made it plainly known
that he, for his part, would pursue his
own ideas in legislative matters, ire
spective TO Mr.. Gompers' opposition to
some of them
He said he knew that in some things
Mr.. Gompers misrepresented the two
million men composing the organization
which he leads, and that he (the speak
err had proved it by appealing to the
people from Gompers' arraignment of
him. He said that in his latest re-elec-
ton there was cast for him a larger
union labor vote than ever before in
his political life, and that he took this
as a decisive verdict.
The chairman of the delegation re-
marked that nothing in the resolutions
or the visit should be construed as an
act of disIoyalty to the American Fede-
ration. Replying, Speaker Cannon said
there could be no such misinterpretation
of the motives: he had no thought of
attacking the federation president, but
he felt the occasion one for making his
personal attitude clear.

ALL ON WATER
WAGON NOW
Rickard, COrdiner and Marks Agree
to Pay FOrfeits For Get
ting Off Vehicle

It Is the water wagon - now for
M. F. Rickard, A. C. Cordiner and j.
r. Marks.
The first one that alights from the
vehicle will have to pay money, ana
there is much interest in the outcome.
Owing to their personal popularity
and the frequency with which they have
been invited to join in friendly glass,
they have experienced some difficulty
in keeping in the vicinity of the water
wagon" without getting actually upon
it, and so one day Rickard and Cordi-
ner agreed to take front seats, way up
on top, with the understanding thst the
one who first dropped the whip would
pay the other 800.
After they had been on the omnibus
a day or two, Marks got wind of the
agreement, and he, too, joined the
happy throng, with the understanding
that he would pay Rickard $50 If ne
grew tired and vice versa.
All three have now been total alb
stainers for ten days. They seem to
enjoy the arrangement, and it may be
some time before any bets are cashed.
