FIGHT GOMPERS
RumOr Says That Duncan

Federation of Labor is to be taken up
next week by socialist delegates to the
convention in this city. The delegates
OF the radical wing number 81, accord
ing to ]. Mahlon Barnes of Philadelphia.
national campaign manager of the So
cialist party and a delegate to the con-
vention from the cigar makers inter-
rational union. who will lead the 1lgnt.
This group constitutes less than one
fourth of the delegates, but socialists
say many will come under their ban
per when the fight opens.
The first skirmish Is expected when
the committee on resolution reports the
resolution of Delegate Duncan of the
United Mine Workers, providing for the
election of officers of the federation by
a referendum vote of its 100000 men,
bers. The Atlanta convention of the
federation adopted resolution favor
ing this method of election, provided
1t was found upon investigation by the
officers to be practicable. The report
of the executive council made earlier
this week indicated that So additional
the federation had declared against the
proposal and 23 unions had favored 1t.
Socialists assert that Officers OF the fed
Grafton, including President Gompers, are
opposed TO election by referendum. and
that II the plan is adopted the defeat of
President Gompers and his associates on
the executive council is certain.
Delegate Barnes said the members of
tho radical wing would attempt to put
through a resolution favoring the with
drawal of federation officers from MEM
bership In the National Civic federation.
According TO Barnes the National Civic
federation Is supported entirely by its
members outside the labor movement and
on that accounht some of the delegates be-
lieve its purposes are not for the good
of labor.

that Duncan Mcdonald of the United
Mine Workers is to be the opponent of
Samuel Gompers for the presidency of the
federation.
