Paris. Aug. 3O.-Samuel Gompers,
president OF the American Federation
of Labor, was a dramatic center of
the first days session of the Sixth
International Trades Union congress,
when several European delegates bit
terry denounced what they claimed to
be backwardness of the American
Federation with reference to joining
the international movements. Comp
ers needed all his old time eloquence
to repel the attacks. He insisted
that the problems and policies of the
American trades unions we're some
what intermingled with American
traditions and ideas that Americans
could i'll spare the time to encounter
the influence of European labors
where unionism ideas were temper
arily different AS an evidence that
the United States is anxious for in
ternational cooperation Gompers in
troduced a proposal favoring world
wide organization which would de
fend rights and interests of all the
great international fraternaties.
The clash came over the question
of the exact status of Gompers and
the American Federation of Labor in
the conference. Gompers explained
that he was merely an auditor but
was ready to give his opinions.
One obstacle in the way of affiliation
he said, was the feeling that antagon-
ism existed in Europe towards Ameri-
can trades unions Moreover, it was
feared that American workmen might
be compelled to subordinate their pol
icies to those of men knowing little
or nothing about American industrial
conditions and personally" he con-

the affiliation of the American Feder>

about results, it will be- many days
before Monterey will resume it's
wonted tranquility.
The various organized relief: corps

Commissions are endeavoring to- Sc
cure identifications of dead bodies as
they are brought in by the searchers,

the duty of seeing to sheltering and

they may be able to encounter m':I.

bodies and give them christian

ber of persons had been drowned by

INTERNATIONAL Federation Of
LABOR HAS WARM time MONDAY
AFTERNOON AT PARIS Meeting

alton of Labor, but 1 believe it will
come in time
Gompers statement was received
co1dly. Several delegates jumped to
their feet to protest. Huber, an Aus
trian delegate, vehemently coereced
Gompers' explanation. He, like 9TH
ers, has been under the impression
that the Americans meant business
and that Gompers was an official dele
gate from his count Y. Otherwise he
could not understand how the Ameri-
can resolutions happened to be pres
ent in the official program.
I'VE thank you for your opinions,
he said pointedly, "but we do not need
them Your policies may not promote
you to come over, but one day,
American workmen, you will realize
that your policies are erroneous and
you will see the necessity of joining
the international federation"
Gompers, stinging under the re-
buke, but unfiinching, arose to reply.
81 regret" he explained, that you
have misunderstood my remarks as
an attack upon European trades
unions I repeat We sincerely desire
international federation, but only as
far as it preserves American ideas of
unionism, and if it does not want us
it will be unfortunate. Nevertheless,
we will continue to do everything
possible to attain the goal for which
the human race is struggling, the in,1
ternational federation of unions" @
M. Legien, International secretary,
ended with the statement the Gompers
was only guest but he hoped that
the officials conceded that he spoke
for the American Federation of La
Dor and offered to join forces with the
European brothers.. 49, ..*j5s5ss;

HARTMAN At LAST MAKES
ANNOUNCEMENT Regarding
THE STATE OF HIS HEALTH

l will let the press know and as l
have never deceived them, I ask that
the press now withdraw its represen-
tatives and rely on me-"
The message was so characteristic
of Harriman's affable way to news
paper reporters, the attitude that was
marked when he underwent the strain
of lengthy interview On the day of
his return that most of the men here
who had been here during the scare
over his illness returned home to
New York tonight, relying on his
word.
The general opinion is that Harri-
man would have broken his silence
long ere now had he realized how his
continued silence and that of his fam
lily and associates had strengthened
pessimeStic rumors.
