Norfolk, Va. Nov. 3.-When Samuel
Gompers, president OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. to-day concluded a TO-
OOO-word defense of himself and the Fed
Grafton against those who have impugned
the motives Of himself and his faction. he
received one 4 the greatest ovations of
his life. he was applauded for six min
utes, and was given an armful Of roses
when he concluded.
He vigorously defended himself and the
Federation against the testimony Of Hen
~ Rice. the former advertising solicitor
of the American Federationist. branded
him as a "hireiing." and charged that
there were several warrants out for him.
He gave a graphic story Of his meetings
and negotiations with Brandenburg. the
alleged agent Of the Manufacturers As
ISOLATION, and finally made defense against
the revival Of the charges of misuse OF
money, brought against him in Chicago in
1898.
Gompers is a lion, a big lion in the
American Federation Of Labor. and TO
dislOdge him from his position would re-
quire several other lions of the ordinary
size. The entire afternoon meeting Of the
Federation was devoted 10 the hearing Of
his speech.

Makes General Denial.

Mr.. Gompers said, in part:
While I might personally prefer to let
my life work speak for Itself as 70 my
honesty and loyalty 10 the movement 7
have the honor to represent. vet such
scurrjlous and lying attacks cannot be
passed over in silence by the labor move
ment Of the country, and / feel that the
general public should be given the truth
That our opponents descend 10 per-
sonal abuse shows the low character Of
the campaign they are conducting. That
they had to go back sixteen years 70
fabricate a charge against my honesty
is significant, for I have been under pub
lie scrutiny all the years since. II would
not be necessary 10 go into matters in
detail If every one understood that not
only our entire financial transactions are
published every month in the American
Federationist, but every official act is
carefully scrutinized by our annual con-
vention
'Garbled extracts published by the
Manufacturers Association were taken
from our published financial reports. II
required rather an acrobatic ability to
wrench these figures out OF their sequence
TO deceive the public 1t is charged I
was investigated at the Chicago con
vention in 1888. and the intimation made
that l was 'whitewashed.
The Washington herald., 1907-11-21
overcame Opposition.

1t is true, had some opposition. There
was a delegate who had the honorable
ambition TO succeed me as president, and
he had following among the delegates.
Some of my opponents started a rumor
that H had not accounted satisfactorily
for money received for the sale of the
advertising privilege for our souvenir that
year A committee of five investigated
the matter and found the rumors baseless.
Il think the National Association Of
Manufacturers will do well to follow our
example and publish each month the sub
scriptions received TO the million-and-a-
half-dollar war fund. I challenge II to
publish the true story for what the money
Is expended 1 defy our enemies TO do
their worst" -

The business of the company has
grown to such proportions during the

compelled to build factory, and when
it was completed it Immediately gave
employment to 500 more members of
the Garment Workers Union. The
growth of the business has been due
to several causes. not the least of
which was the fairness with which the
management treated those who are IN
