Remarks by congressman.

In addition to arousing enthusiasm
when he suggested Speaker Clark for
the presidency. Representative Buchanan
also was applauded when he stated that
he is paid-up member of the Bridge
and Structural Ironworkers' Union, and
glad of it.
Representative Wilson lauded the con-
duct of the labor heads. declaring that
Gompers clearly has demonstrated that
he is no semiSOldier or sunshine
patriot" Gompers. Morrison and
Mitchell. he said. would not shrink from
the crisis now confronting them. He
declared that there have been abuses
of the injunction. and that the time
will come when the legislative branch
of the government will see to it that
neither the executive nor the judicial
branch shall interfere with those
things which the legislators say are
constitutional and are the law.
He asserted that one outcome of the
contempt proceedings whatever may be
Mitchell. will be the development of
public sentiment which will lead to
legislative reforms designed to restrict
the use of injunctions by the courts.
Representative Sherwood said 1t looks
a little dark just now. but the men who
are the denounced of one generation may
be the heroes of the next"
Optimism was the keynote of the speech
delivered by Representative McDermOtt
I'VE have had a few defeats; they won't
hurt u.s. he said.
Representative Farr said: Il don't think
we are facing any crisis. I view the flu
ture, judged by the past with great
deal Of hope. This country does not need
saving. 1t IS saved"
Representative Hughes spoke briefly
shortly after the banquet began, stating
that illness in his family made it impera-
tive that he should not remain during the
evening. But he could not resist the
temptation, he said, to attend for a few
minutes and pay his respects to the
grand old man of the labor movement"

Gompers Denies Wrongdoing.

Closing a speech of nearly an hour, and
which brought the banquet to close
few minutes before l o'clock. President
Gompers was greeted with prolonged APP
plause when he said: II have done no
wrong. l have violated no law of my
country. of any state or of the District
of Columbia. | merely have exercised
my right as an American citizen, the
right of free speech, the right of free
press / would be recreant as a man

Mr.. Gompers made it plain that the
defendants in the contempt case will not
apologize to the court, if an apology re-
quires a retraction of their previous
statements. to escape Jail sentences Or
other punishment He quoted from an
editorial published in the Federationist,
largely the basis of the contempt pro-
ceedings. in which the following words
were used: We will speak out. we will
be heard, though all earths system
crack; We will not take single word,
a single letter back
This will continue to be our position"
he said
The head of the American Federation
of Labor denounced the charge that he
made a speech In Oakland, Cal. Labor
day, while standing on an American flag.
He said that, several men stood on the
table from which he spoke. it was strange
that only his footprints showed on the
flag The labor leader then caused to be
distributed among the banqueters the
copy of a publication containing two pic
lures. one showing Mr.. Gompers standing
on the flag. as alleged and the other the
flag after it had been trampled upon, ac-
cording to the charge. Mr.. Gompers di-
rected attention to the fact that in the
first picture his feet were parallel with
the stripes on the flag. while in the
other picture. the footprints were shown
pointing in every direction. He summed
up the flag episode by declaring it to
have been an effort TO rob him of his
good name.
But they could not then and they cam
not now get the men higher up in the
labor movement" he concluded, amid
