GOMPERS CHEERED
BY FEDERATION
ON APPEARANCE

Denver. Nov. 1O.-Hearty applause
was given President Gompers, OF the
American Federation of Labor, by the
delegates to the convention of that
Organization at its opening session.
and also at the close of his report
which he read at the afternoon ses-
sion, and was interpreted TO Indicate
that there will be no effective opposi-
ton to his reelection.
John Mitchell, former president of
the Mine Workers Union. said that
while there may be strong objection
to the Federation's taking part in pol
itics in the future, there will be lit-u
tie opposition to the recollection of
Gompers or criticism OF his course ia
the recent campaign.
Gompers' report was an account
ing of the work performed by the
president during tile past year. Com
pers' report referred to the Bucks
stove matter, denounced injunctlons
and declared the move was against
the free speech and free press of the
workingmen. He asserted that
Speaker Cannon packed the commit
tee not only against labor but against
ANY other read reform legislation,r
and that the president made an un-
warranted attack upon me and upon
labor organizations OF the country
After reporting on the work during
the campaign Gompers said:
"The American labor movement Is
not partisan to a political party; u is
partisan to principle, the principle
Of equal rights and human freedom.
Our conveueions have frequently de.
clared that our movement has neither
the right nor the desire to dictate
how a member shall cast his vote"
Following are extracts from his adj
dress:
Labor and the q. S. Court.
Much space is given by Mr..
Gompers TO decisions of the United
States supreme court Affecting or
ganized labor. Referring specifically
to the decision in the Dangurry Hat
ters' case he says:
"No more sweeping, far reaching,
important or unjust decision has
ever been issued by court. The
bred Scott decision did not approach
| il In scope for that decision only de-
creed than any runaway slave could
be pursued If he made bis escape
into a free state. and his return to
his owner In slave state be en-
forced by all the powers Of govern
ment ANY person who assisted In
TIE escape Of slave. or WHO har-
brred him. could be proseeuted be-
fore the courts Tor a crimin1 offense.
That decision involved comparatively
few. those slaves who could make
sood their esoape from a slave hold
ing state. The CIVIL war annulled
the decision .of the supreme court
ard freed the black slaves. IL cost
the lives Of hundreds Of thousands Of
brave men on both sides. Il emanci-
pated from chattel slavery four mil
lions OF black slaves. No man now
proudly points to that famous bred
Scott supreme court decision"

Besides all this, he is a foil to the
