BRANDENBURG REPLIES WITH
VIGOROUS ATTACK ON GOMPEItS

| New York. Nov. 2O.-BrOughtoh
Brandenburg. president of the Nation
al Institute of immigration, and a
magazine writer, said tonight that he
was the man referred to by Presi-
dent Gompers of the American FEEDER
| alton of Labor when the latter at the
1 convention I'm Norfolk today declared
that one Charles Brandenburg, a
newspaper man, attempted TO bribe
him to take part in an exposure of
other federation leaders.
In statement dictated tonight Mr..
Brandenburg emphatically denied that
he had attempted to bribe Gompers.
He also stated that he had no con-
nection with the National Manufac-
turers association and that his deal
ings with Gompers were solely In the
interests of publication which he
represented. He himself, he said had
been the intended victim OF a plot that
had failed and he declared that Com
pers' statement today was an effort
to forestall the effect Of what he
knew was about 10 be published.
Brandenburg's statement in part
follows:
II have been collecting for a mag
azine data on the conduct Of the
American Federation or Labor by
Samuel Gompers and certain others
Of its principal officers since its or
ganization. The material has grad
ually grown into what will be a great
sensation when it Is disclosed. Mr..
GOmpers has made an effort TO fore
stall this. For three months I and
my men have been tracked by spies
and Mr. Gompers felt sure that ! had
a sufficiency OF material TO make a
serious case"
The statement continues 10 the ef-
feet that a party visited Mr.. Branden-
burg al the Hotel Victoria where he
was stopping and attempted 10 buy
him off The offer had been declined
he said, as he had declined other Of
fers OF a similar nature since he be-
gan Is Investigations. The caller said
that he was open To- counter propo-
sition. This party. Brandenburg says,
offered 10 assist him in the work he
Is doing.
The statement then continues:
