Washington, Dec. Speaker Cam
non today expressed his sentiments
towards organized labor and its
leader, Samuel Gompers. with respect
to the latter's campaign for his, the
speakers, defeat, the occasion being
a call on him BY a committee from the
local union of plate printers. The
set of resolutions commencing the
speaker for his legislative work in be-
half of the plate workers was pre-
sented by the chairman of the dele
cation, Charles Smith. In reply,
Speaker Cannon. after expressing his
qualification at the confidence con-
veyed entered into informal discus
sion of "one man political leaders" 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 a
mass, would ever accept a dictatorship
of their votes; that If he were craft
worker he would ally himself with q
trade union, because unionisln has
been the vehicle of all progress to-

dentally he made II plainly known
that he, for his party. would pursue
his own ideas In legislative matters
irrespective of Mr. Gomper's opposi-
tion TO some of them.
He said that he knew that In some
things Mr.. Gompers misrepresented
the two million men composing the
organization which he leads and that
he (the speaker) had proved by ap-
pealing to the people from Gomper's
of him. He said that in
his latest election there was cast for
ever before In his political life and
that he took this as a decisive ver-
dict
The chairman of the delegation re-
marked that nothing in the resolu
tion or the visit could be construed as
an act of disloyalty to the American
Federation of Labor. Replying,
Speaker Cannon said there could be
no such misinterpretation of the mo-
tives: he had no thought of attack
ing the federation president. hut he
felt the occasion one for making his
attitude clear
