tackled the National Association OF Manu-
facturers, which he declared had been
diverted by its heads from a purpose of

smashing. He characterized the 1900 900
fund devoted to what was styled "educa-
tional purposes as one for the weaken
ing, Gripping and destruction of labor
unions. President Gompers declared that
opposition OF this nature would not avail.
In his long report President Gompers
covered the whole field of the endeavors
or the American Federation declaring
that IL is generally recognized that the
labor movement Is the necessary and in
evitable outgrowth OF industrial oundi-
ton and that the toilers have recog-
nlzed that the advantages which they
now enjoy over previous periods were not
brought TO them upon a silver platter or
philantrophcally conceded to them"
Mr. Gompers' report in part follows:

VICE PRES. BUCKLAND
ON HALF FARES

Vice President Buckland of the Rhode
Island company has made another
statement in regard to the refusal or
the company to grant school children
half fares. The vice presidents con-
tention is that the company is too
poor and cannot afford the heavy drain
which the granting Of half fares Will
cause He said yesterday that 'the re-
ceipts do not cover the interest charges
on the price we paid for control OF the
Rhode Island company. BY this L
mean the per cent on the bonds OF the
Providence Securities company, issued
to take up the stock of the Rhode Is
land Securities company. This Is a
fixed charge and until earnings are in
excess of this heavy interest payment
and the other expenses specified It can
not be said that our Rhode Island troll
ley lines are profitable.
Therefore, we are obliged to be very
careful not to reduce earnings by con-
ceding half fares for school pupils. and
we have been so liberal In transfer
privileges that we do not feel warrants
ed in making further transfer conces-
sions as this time"
