GOMPERS ANSWERS
TWO PROFESSORS
Defends Boycott When They
Say That the Blacklist Is
Unlawful

NEW YORK, April 2.-President
Gompers of the American federation OF
labor defended the use of the boycott
today before the New York council of
the National civic federation. Ad-
dresses by Prof. Frederick ]. Stimson
of Harvard and Prof John Bates Clark
of Columbia stirred him to speak.
Professor Stimson referred to the re-
cent proceedings against Gompers and
others in Washington.
"a blacklist is unlawful" he said,
"but a white list which commends. is
lawful In the Gompers case there was
a proved combination by a number of
persons to influence the public not to
trade with a stove company. If this
announcement regarding the stove
company had been printed once 1t
would be fair to assume 1t a matter of
years with the announced intention of
doing so in all newspapers possible, for
the purpose of coercing the stove com
pany, most jurymen would decide that
those facts showed primary intention
to molest the stove company"
Gompers said in reply:
II am not lawyer and the quib-
lings of the lawyers as to the legality
or illegality of certain acts by the
labor organizations is not for me to
deal with. But as to what is funda-
mentally right l think L am qualified
to speak If the laws do not properly
guard the fundamental rights of the
laborer, then they should be changed.

organize to protect what it possesses.
