DeploreS Apparent 0pposi-

ton of Rights of Labor,


Kansas City. Sept 5.--Speaking to D
crowd OF labortng men at a park
mere today Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, attacked the courts of the
country as being far removed from
the people and opposed to labor.
After touching on the case wherein
himself, John Mitchell and Frank
Morrison received Jail sentences and
other cases where fines were assessed
against lahoring men. Mr.. Gompers
said.
IT is all done in the hope of crush
ing the spirit of labor. These auto

country. They flnd that we know
our rights and are determined to as
sert Them Not more rights than
that possessed by any other citizen,
but an equal right under the constitu-
tion and before our God. The work
ing people propose to have a voice
not only in the affairs of our govern
ment but in the Industrial affairs of
our people.
"All these decisions we have handed
down to us are the devices Of men
so far removed from the great hubbub
of life, from the great movement of
the masses, that they do not under
stand. | cannot accuse any man on
the bench Of having evil motives, but
as for the men occupying the posi-
tions in the great judiciary Of our
country the higher up they are the
further they are removed from the
people"
