Gompers Says Wall Street FURRY Is
Only a Gamblers Panic"
President Samuel Gompers Of the
American Federation of Labor hurled
a thunderbolt Monday in the form of
a warning that labor will not tolerate
wage reductions, and that employers
who may attempt them on a cry of
the financial situation, which he terms
nothing more or less than a gambl-
ers panic" will do so at their peril.
He recommends that labor and civic
organizations which have withdrawn
money from the banks help defeat
the gamblers scheme" by investing in
government bonds.
"Of course, all realize that there is
a stringency of the circulating medium
of money. that there is an insufficient
amount of currency to carry on the
enormously increased production of
the past year and the means for its
general distribution" his statement
says.
