MAKES LABOR AN annex

New York, Sept. 29.-Henry White.
the writer of the following article, was
for many years an intimate associate
of Samuel Gompers. Nine years ago,
when Mr.. GOmpers was for n year
superseded president of the Amerf-
can Federation of Labor by Mr.. Me-
Bride, MIR. White, who was Mt the time
general secretary of the United Gar
ment Workers of Americaa. employed
Mr.. Gompers as official lecturer. At
present MIR. white is prominently iden-
tilted with the Brotherhood of TaiIOrs
of America, which was recently sue
cessful In movement for wage in
crease In the current issue of the
North American Review MIR. White has
an article in which the subject of the
"Gompers Campaign" is going into
very thoroughly.
(By Henry White.l
The Haskell disclosures emphasize
the folly of Gompers' attempt to line
UP the millions of organized labor for
the democratic party. To indorse
party means TO indorse all that goes
with the party. In indorsing the demo-
cratic party Gompers puts the hazy an
ti-injunction plank before the vital is
sues of decent government and the re-
storation of industry.
What an ecstatic sight to see the
high priests of labor consorting with
such converts to the cause as Murphy,
McCarren, Hill and Mack! What a
| treat to the ears to hear Chairman
Mack say at Washington. after con-
ference with the federation chiefs:
My purpose in coming here was to
see Mr.. Gompers and arrange with him
for perfect cooperation between the
organization under him and the organi-
cation at my disposal The result of
our talk will be to throw not only the
labor vote to the democrats, but to
carry with 1t all the prestige of the
labor organization"
Makes Labor an Annex.
This statement not having been
repudiated, the exalted labor movement
the hope of the toilers-officialIy be-
comes an annex to a political party,
and solely upon the strength of the
injunction. which the leaders have ex-
aggerated into a bugaboo for the pur-
pose.
What is amazing about this business
is that the federation leaders, who pose
as apostles of democracy, take this ac-
ton in violation of all precedent; with
out shadow of authority from the
rank and file and in conformation to
the expressed instructions of the con-
vention at Minneapolis two years ago.
enjoining the officers from committing
the body to any political party and de-

member to think and act for himself
politically.
Not only have the leaders acted thus.
but they have given the elements diff
fering from them the steam roller

very ones who profess more than others
to fight that doctrine.

Indiana has long been noted for its
authors and as a fertile source of new
books. The area of production. how
ever. is like the corn belt. has been
confined to the central portion of the
state But this month the fact be-
comes known that a new seat of Gull
ture has been established in Lake
county with the discovery of literary
shrine at Griffith.
THE Open Road a philosophical
magazine with a close relationship to
the "Philistine" and the Sage Brush"
is being printed in the little town sew
en- miles south of this city, and here
after the people of Lake county night
as well be res signed to the fact that
they are to be objects of human inter-
est study by the author and publisher
of this unique magazine.
The author of the new magazine,
which has stolen into Lake county un-
awares and promises to make himself
heard above the din of city building and
the noise attendant to the moving of
the steel industry Of the United States
to the Calumet region. is Bruce T. Gull
vert, philosopher, lecturer, author and
founder of the society of the Universal
Brotherhood of Man.
Disciple of Hubbard's.
Why be located at Griffith. the Lord
only knows, and Mr.. Culvert, if the
first issue of his magazine is any cri-
terion to go by, is not on very good
terms with the Lord 1t is hard to tell.
yet, whether he is an infidel. atheist,
or simply an unbeliever. but he evident
" is of the Ebert Hubbard school of
church deriders and what he has hand
ed the preachers and the Christian
church in his first issue is enough to
make them shudder because of the fact
that he is such a near Eeighbor.
Evidently Griffith, with its memories
of bursted booms, has not high
enough sounding name TO suit Mr.. Gull
vert. for the title page of his serial
shows that it is published at Pigeon
Roost In the Woods, Indiana. All COM
munications are to be addressed to the
open Road" Griffith Lake County, In

1t is presumed that Bruce T. Gull
vert, if he follows the example of the
illustrious and verbose Ebert Hub
bard. will, in time build up model
community where his ideas on the Uni
versaI brotherhood of Man will be car
ried out.

If the people of Griffith take up with
Mr.. Culverts ideas that place will be

members of the Universal Brotherhood

In fact. judging from the first swal-
low of The Open Road it tastes sus-
piciously like the Phillistine. 1t has
the same rough brown cover. 1t is of
the same size its makeup is the same.
is philosophy is identical, its contents
is of a philosophical nature with pert.
pointed paragraphs a la Hubbard. In
fact, it would not be hard to convince
an ordinary person that Culvert intends
to start regular East Aurora in Lake
county.
A physical Torturist."
Judging from the contents of the
Open Road, Culvert is as likely as not
to start regular Battle Creek at Crit
fifth. One of his hobbies is right liv-
ing, and the first crack out of the box
is the caution to FIetcherize your food.
If you don't know what that means,
Attorney l. L. Bomberger and w F.
Bridge will explain that it means mere
ly to chew it. They've both been put
through the Fletcherizing process.
Speaking of his department on
Health and Diet Hints" Mr. Culvert
says: Il make. no apology for this
department. Surely when the intimat e
relation of the thought processes and
the physical health are considered, it
will be seen that health-joyous,
bounding, natural health-is in fact the
first essential in life, the beginning of
all wisdom"
The doctors of the region should feel
nervous on account of the invasion of
the county by Culvert. One paragraph
in his magazine contains the follow
, ing: I'VE have no cemetery. not even
graveyard at Pigeon Roost. No
preacher Except myself. no lawyer.
and the nearest doctor, thank God, is
seven miles away. Why shouldn't we
be happy?"

Seven miles away. That means Ham

warning to Hammond doctors to keep
off the grass in the first issue of his
magazine. It is a fact. however. that

He Further Assures His Hearers That Whatever the Republicans do About the Tariff Will be Done Right.

Washington. Feb. 26-The climax of the general debate on the army appro- priation bill in the house came today when MT. DalZell. recognized as one of the foremost protectionists of the coun- try. delivered an exhaustive speech in defense of the republican party and its policies in which he upheld the prin- ciple of the protective tariff. He said that under it the United States had be- come the greatest manufacturing na- ton in the world. He did not believe that there was any necessity for tariff revision but he thought it well to rec OgniZe the claims of those who think there should be some alterations. Whatever that revision was, provided the republicans were successful at the next election. he assured his hearers, it would be in accordance with the repub- lican theory of the protection of Amer iCan industries and the wages of Amer ican working men.
 Tine American tariff system was at tackled by MT. Houston of Tennessee. who charged that the trusts alone were benefited and he urged revision. Other addresses were made by Mir.
