Mr.. Gompers was born In England.
His life in this country has been spent
in the Northern States, and he cannot
be said to be affected by Southern
race prejudice, but what he says re-
fleets very largely the sentiment of
the labor unions in general towards
the negro. 1t is serious thing to the
black man, because it denies his rigAc
to work. In the South the negro has
always been valued as a laborer.
Those who have most stoutly opposed
his participation in politics, and who
abhor contact with him on any ground
approaching social equality, prefer his
labor to that of any other class, and
are always willing to guarantee him
his rights as a working man. Neither
political nor social equality may be
necessary to a mans material well
fare, but when he is debarred from
the field of labor, he is indeed facing

The New York World further says:
But Lincoln lived before the day
of Samuel Gompers. 1t has been left
to a modern labor leader to advance
the extraordinary idea that negroes,
while fit for citizenship, are not COM
petent to earn a living in a union shop
or factory. Apart from any question
of rights under the Constitution, Com
pers' attempt to create labor caste
is hardly likely to work out to the ad-
vantage of organized labor. The
100000 negroes, though lacking the
knowledge of what unions stand for
in the economic world, are not lack
ing in manual skill, and they would
constitute a dangerous permanent
body of strike-breakers. Employers
would find them useful for manning
mills, and their opposition would be a
serious menace to union solidarity
That offers a practical solution OF
the problem should the negroes prove
equal to the test, but it means race
war in another form, with the sur
vival of the fttest 1t will require q
power of organization on the negro
part he has not yet developed.
The Gompers attitude seems to EN-
phasize the Booker Washington plal
of training negroes for efficient labor
If they can be used as strike-breaker
and thus force the recognition of tn
unions, they must be capable WORK
ers. If they are really equal to tn
white men in the arts and crafts the
cannot be shut out of employment
The demand for reliable workmen
too great for employers to higgl
about race or color

for an investigation TO determine whether

intent to kill" Mr. Garven replied.
1T will not be necessary for the Mayor

The present grand jury will be IN session
on Wednesday. but there is no nkennood
that the Gallagher case will come up tnen.

vene on September 81. l cannot say now
whether Mayor Gaynor's assailant will be
indicted at that time All will depend on
the condition of Mayor Gaynor, who. [ un-

When the Gallagher case Is brought be-
fore the grand jury Street Cleaning Com
