GOMPERS FLAYS THE
LAWRENCE ARRESTS
BY The United Press.


WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-"Crimi-
nal conspiracies of merciless and I'M
scrupulous capitalist antagonisni to
organized labor are fayed by Pres
ident Samuel Gompers, o. the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in an arti-
Gle in the October number of THE
Federationist' regarding the alleged
dynamite conspiracy Of the textile
workers strike at Lawrence, Mass.
9TH already famous Lawrence
strike is apparently yet to perform
another service to workingmen in
furnishing public substantiation for
charges against men higher up"
said Gompers.
''The public has felt that some
great power had dropped a battling
impenetrable curtain, shutting them
out from the facts in the case, and
that the trial of John J. Breen was
but an attempt to whitewash. APP
parently the truth was to remain un-
written history of business life-that
unwritten history of which the gem
eral public occasionally catches ap-
palling glimpses.
"The story of Ernest W. Ptman
and his relations to the dynamite case
are most suggestive of the abuses of
financial powers. Rumor says he has
been expecting financial aid from the
big mill men
Apparently It was determined to
destroy labor organizations by dis
crediting the workers One way to
do it was to show they were lawless
users of dynamite.
"The public is anxious to know
Why the mayor of Lawrence did not
have a thorough investigation of the
dynamite case.
"As contrssted with this great,
grinding money power, these men of
high political, social and moral po-
sition, was a group Of underpaid, for
eign workers. without organization.
unprotected strangers at the mercy of
a protected and specially privileged
power
when the story of financial greed,
heartlessness and determination shall
have been established, the world will
have confirmed previous criminal con-
spiracies of merciless and unscrupu-
lous capitalist antagonism of organ
lied labor"

TRAINMEN GIVE
PUNCH BOWL TO
MR.. DOCKSTADER

banquet aud surprise last evening.
when w. L. Dockstader OF the Gar
rick Theatre was presented with a
cut glass punch bowl and pedestal by
the executive committee of the Broth
erhood Of Railroad Trainmen. The
affair was gotten up with the greatest
secrecy and when Toastmaster John
j. McGovern arose at the close OF
the banquet he stated he did not
know why the affair was given.
He called on NJ. II. Tilghman, chair
man Of the committee of arrange
ments, who stated that Il was In
honor of Mr.. Dockstader, who favored
the trainmen two years ago In al
lowing them the use of his theatre for
meeting. "At that time" he con-
tinued. I'VE called on the managers
of several theatres and they all asked
5000 for their houses. Mr.. Dock
stader when approached, said Boys,
the house is yours. Mr.. Dockstader,
who was at Atlantic City came here
and mustered his help and did not
charge us one cent" Mr. Tilghman
said.
T. W. Keithley was then introduced
and presented the gift. Mr.. Dock
stader declared It was the most plea
SAINT surprise of his life
In responding he said that ii was
more than he expected and as TO the
matter of giving the theatre to them,
he had done the same for many other
CARNATIONS, sometimes without the
least bit of thanks.
He further said, Boys, you should
not have done this. / thank you for
the present, and If you can tell me
way that | can have all your names
engraved on it | would like TO know.
because l like you all and whenever
or whatever | can do for you or the
organization. just call on me-"
Colonel A. L. Ainscow present as
a guest, was the next speaker. He
said he had never seen Mr.. Dockstad-
er so taken by surprise. Other speak
ers who made short but appropriate
addresses were John p Redmond and
J. r. Lofland.
Before closing Mr.. McGovern stated
that he was as much surprised as Mr.
Dockstader, as he was unaware OF
what all the secrecy meant Those
present were: w. L. Dockstader, T.
