II was stated in Washington by a Re-
publican expert several evenings ago that
all Republican Congressmen who either
wabbied on the Gompers legislation or
advocated Gompers's measures had been
defeated for denomination or Teelec-
ton. One OF the best informed Republi-
cans in the House OF Representatives speak
ing Oh this subject said:
There Is really no way of making up The
list OF the members in the Sirtieth Con gress
" no supported the demands Of Mr. .Gonlpers
None OF the bills advocated by Gompers
came before the House. and while he con-
tended that he had the pledges OF the ma
jority in support OF the anti-iniunciion
bill, the eight hour bill and the legislation
proposing to leyitinstize the boycott
there never was any opportunity for
showing OF hands oh any of these propo-
sitions.
The fact is that the great majority OF
members, especislly on the Republican
side, constantly importuned the comm ees
having Jurisdiction over proposed labor
le egisla ton not to report any Of the bills be-
ca use they would be in jeopardy whichever
way they voted on these various PROPOSE
tions. You will readily see therefore that
no reliabls list could be made OF the
men who supported Gompers in the House
OF Represents tives."

stricken, ran for deep water
Coming TO the dam they leaped over
it and fell into open silk umbrellas
held by Mr.. AID Mrs. Jandreau. There
seemed to be no limit to the number
to be caught in this manner. but only
enough for present consumption were
taken. and now his family and their
friends can always have fresh fish

A veritable account of the plans laid and carried

the intelligent ingenuousness with which The Golden

irons in the fire that he probably doesn't recall the
fact that he has daughter, except once or twice
month, when he rushes down to the country house.
If the girl at home and visiting friends of her
age, he sees her for few minutes, puts hand
full of bills into her fingers, kisses her. and is gone
Away he goes again in his pr ivate off in his

much engaged with her bridge parties and five six
