Monday. and pending that action the proceedings
in the contempt against the federation onlceFs
to-day suddenly suspended. Mr. Gonpers oe-
cIined to answer the questions because the utter
ances attributed him had been made since the
contempt petition fled
One Of the questions asked by Daniel Davenport
Of Bridgeport, Conn, counsel for the BUCKS Slows

was whether Mr. Gcmpers had caused TO be pub

this expression 10 say that the Bucks company
pays the expenses Of the suit, including Mr. Daven-
ports retainer.
Mr. Davenport moved to strike out this reply as
irrelevant but Mr.. Gompers said: You may strike
it out il you wish but it is still true lie oe-

SHERMAN At STATE FAIR.
Discusses Development and Conser-
ration of Natural Resources.

Syracuse Sept 1S-James s. Sherman. Repubii-
can candidate for Vice President was the Pr1ncl-
pal speaker at Interstate Day at the State Fair to-
day Mr. Sherman introduced by Lieutenant
Governor Lewis S. Chaner. the Democratic nomi-
nee for Governor. Mr. Sherman discussed the de-
velopment and conservation of the natural re-
sources Of the country and called the attention of
the people TO the methods of government which
had made possible the great development OF the
products of the farms. forests and mines.
Mr.. Sherman quoted from the speech OF President
Roosevelt at jamestown last year on the conser-
walton of the national resources. which he SAID
constituted the fundamental problem underlying
almost every problem of our national life He also
quoted the declaration Of principles adopted by
the Governors of the various states who met in the
White House last May. Continuing. MI Sherman
said:
This question has in it naught of partsanship It
is class question, nor yet state one; 1t is
national question of vast Importance. Nor is II 1y
any means new idea, though IT has, under Prest-
dent Roosevelt. been emphasized TO greater de-
gree than before Our statutes will TESTIFY TO
the laws looking TO the development OF nome
steads in the free distribution Of availaoe acres OF
soil. the reclamation of arid lands and the improve
mCnt Of waterways and harbors
Passing from the subject of the development Of
the states resources. Mr.. Sherman compared the
progress and the result agricultural opportunity
and activity in Great Britain and the United
States since Great Britain abandoned her protec-
tive policy in 1916.
After speaking of the resources Of New York
State Mr. Sherman said In closing:
Much has been done in the past. more should be
done in the future. American agriculture will be
maintained its present high standard so long as
our home market is maintained. But We must go
further than that. We muse think Of exhaust
ihle forests and mines We must think of the land
that must be fertized, and we must make the arid
and ser1i-ar1d regions productive. We must drain
the swamps; must look to the preservation, the
usefulness and the perpetuation of every natural
resource As individuals counties, as states. as
a nation we must work together for the best good
each and the best good of all We nave the
creates. land on earth. the brightest opportunities
We cannot help ourselves without aiding others
We cannot aid others without helping ourselves.
such is good citizenship and good government. Such
is bound to bring and hold national wealth and
power and glory.
