Gompers for Poindexter

Samuel Gompers president of the American
Federation of Labor, has written letter to w. H.
Ecker Spokane labor union man. in which he gives
hearty and unqualified endorsement to the candidacy
of Miles Poindexter.
The letter is lengthy one, and reviews the
action of Poindexter the Hughes provision to the
anti trust law, saying "Every credit should be given
to Mr. Poindexter for his faithful indefatigabe and
successful work." Continuing, Mr. Gompers says:
Mr.. PoindeXter has also declared himself en-
phatcaly in favor of the bill advocated by the
American Federation of Labor, 25,1SS, which pro-
vdes for the exemption of the organizations OF labor
and organizations of agrcultursts and horticulture
lists from the provision of the Sherman antitrust law
He has declared himself in favor of the other import
ant provision in this bill, regulating the issu
ance Of restraining orders and injunctions during
labor disputes He also declared himself in favor of
the eight-hour bill covering work done for the
United States government by contractors and sub
Federation of Labor; and he has done all that any
one could be expected to do, especially during
his first term in congress.
He introduced at the instance of the American
Federation of Labor the bill (H b. 1886 in behalf
of the civil rights of the civil service employees of the
United States government particularly those en-
poyed in the postoffice department) In Short Rep
resentatve Poindexter is of the that we
have relied upon to advance legislation in the inter-
ests of all the people.
Trusting that this will be sufficiently compre-
hensive to answer all of your inquiries, and hoping
that it of service to the of labor and for
all the people, / am,

BY 7. j. DILLON.

Congressman Poindexter is
built on straight lines. The first
time the eye falls on him, this
architectural fact is evident, and
one immediately feels we'll dispos-
cd toward the cartoonists who
lbmn him with straight eyebrows,
straight mouth and a general
contour that suggests the shortest
distance between two points. They
say him we'll and truly, these sati-
rical cartoonists; they picked out
his salient physical characteristic.
After you have met him, your
estimate Is that he Is straight all
the way through; rectangular
man, made of straight lines and
angles in soul and body. In his
physical and mental makeup there
are none of those sinuosdties and
curves that are so handy in reduc-
ing the shock when expediency
crashes against principle.
When expediency hits the Poin-
dexter principle 1t will come up
hard and abrupt; there will be no
Slowing around, no compromising.

BLOCKS SCHEME TO

Mayor Fawcett discovered some
thing this morning which caused
him to get busy at once to save
the municipal dock project.

to fix the date for the special

and other projects Roys suggested
that October 20 be the day. 1t
was so fixed. This morning the
mayor got to looking at the OPP

the city on the dock property,
and he found it ran out three days

The mayor believed it was a
scheme of Roys to defeat the
project, and hustled over to the
N. P. and had the option extend
ed beyond the time of the elec-
ton.
Roys has been opposed to the
municipal dock from the start. He
voted for it the first time the
matter was up, when all the
business men came In and de-
manded it, but stated he was op-
posed to 1t even then.

Roosevelt has returned and has
re-entered public life. He has de-
clared himself to be what he has
always been-in favor of progress
sive policies. He has done more.
He has started in to campaign for
such policies. Still more, he is in
the midst of fight to re-establish
such policies as the policies of the

Hazing and Hazing.

<ron the chicago fosi
The United States Senate has passed Il
bill which provides that the superintendent
of the United States Military Academy
shall prescribe regulations to stop the
practice of hazing. The measure in effect
gives the commanding officer of the school
at West Point the right to take largely
into his own hands the infection of pains
and penalties for infractiOns of the rules
against the '.devilng' of plebes. A bill
of this kind ought to have been passed by
Congress years ago. The chief officer of
the military school. always a graduate
of the institution, is in close touch with
cadet life and he knows how to dscrimi-
nate between what is and what is not
haZinS. There is a certain kind of treat
that is all for the picbcs good, and no
uate officer of the academy. The diff
Guilty has been that when complaint has
come no civilian could be made to be-
lieve that the treatment given the new
cadet in any way intended for his
benefit. There is kind of hazinG that
never should be allowed at West Point OF
at any other institution, and there is an
other kind which is of service to the one
hazed and to the army in which he is to
serve. The superintendent of the United
States Military Academy knows all bout
all kinds of haZing. He knows what to
wink at and what to condemn. He knows
that il does 10 harm to tho boy who has
had nurse and valet all his life to be
made to carry few pals of water as
an exercise for his body and as a means
of promoting thoughts of the equality
that should exist in democracy.
