LABOR ENDORSES
DEMOCRATIC TICKET
President Gompers Issues
Appeal for Funds, With
an Injunction.

CHICAGO, Aug. 13.-Iabors first DO
liucal appeal was issued here last night
by President Gompers and the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor. Every member Of the council.
including John Mitchell, signed the ap-
peal, which. although Il does not mem
ton the name of either Taft or Bryan,
is intended as an oficiaI Endorsement OF
tho Democratic ticket.
The Endorsement carries with il a
plea to trades unionists throughout the
country to supply funds with which 70
make labor's fight In the approaching
campaign. The appeal is to be mailed
broadcast from the Federation's Offices
in Washington
Although obviously drawn with the in
tention to omit the name Of any can
didate, the arraigument Of the two par
ties leaves no doubt as TO which the
labor leaders believe to be the laboring
mans friends. while at the same time
there is no attempt 10 deliver the
vote. The appeal carries with it the
former injunction 10 "eleet your friends
and defeat your enemies"
On the subject Of the two respective
parties. the document says:
''The Republican party definitely
lines up with the corporate interests of
the country and dehes the people to helm
themselves.
The Democratic party indOrses Iabor's
demands and pledges itself to carry
them into effect II IL is put IN power"
