GOMPERS REPLIES
TO LABOR CRITICS

Washington, Jan. 6.-Samuel Com
pers, speaking today before the SEN
ate subcommittee on judiciary in IA
vor Of the Clayton anti-injunction and
contempt bills, gave answer to criti-
cism aimed at the American Fedora
tion Of Labor, which he heads, because
Of the trial and conviction for dyna-
hitting of officers of the Structural
lrCnworkers' union.
IF ever the time shall come" said
GCmpers in the climax of his address.
when a government by dynamite shall
be attempted (and let us hope and
work that it never shall GOMEZ, it will
have as its main cause the theory and
policy upon which is based a govern
mcnt by injunction-a personal gov
eminent foisted upon our people in
stead of government by law"
In closing his statement. which in
cluded an assault upon employers and
manufacturers associations, partIcu-
/ larly the steel corporation and Ma
tiCnal Erectors' association, Gompers
declared organized labor would not
repudiate the Structural Ironworkers
unions "and leave them helpless and
at the mercy of organized capital and
/ its Unsuitable, uncurbed greed for
profits"
Though all censure those men who
may seem guilty of a dynamite con-
/ sIiracy," continued Gompers, none
feels the terrible consequences of the
/ Indianapolis trial more keenly than or
| ganized labor. There has been added
| heartache and sorrow to Our already
/ heavy burdens. The men accused and
sentenced cannot suffer the penalties
alone-upon them and all workingmen
| fa! the suffering and penalty"

House Ways and Means
Committee Opens Hear
ings Today.
SCHEDULE A Is FIRST
Plan is to Go Through Whole
LiSt-WiII be Ready for
A!ext Congress.

Washington, Jan. 6.--Democratic re-
vision of the tariff ac c.ually got under
way today when the house ways and
means committee began hearings
which will be the basis of the new
tariff bill for the next congress to
repeal the Payne-Aldrich law. To
days hearing was on schedule "a
the chemical schedule. The commit
tee plans to go down through the
list, taking a new schedule every 9TH
er day until all have been covered.
Most of the democratic majority of
the present committee will go into
the new congress, which will convene
in extra session probably between
March 10 and early April.
FAVORS EXPERT INQUIRY.
The first witness was Henry How
ard of New York, representing the
Manufacturing Chemists association.
He contended the committee should
delegate the whole question of the
chemical schedule 10 a subcommittee
for expert investigation. Howard in
sisted the association felt no body the
size of the ways and means commit
tee could as a whole conauct an inves-
tigation so essentially technical and
favored a non-partisan committee or
commission.
The most radical increase in rates
on raw materials imposes hardships,"
he said, that would, if followed
through other schedules. inevitably
bring disaster to many industries and
consequent hardship to labor en-
ployed in those industries"

The Best Place To Hide Money.

When will people learn the folly OF
keeping large sums of money around
the house. Take the case of Mr.. and
Mrs. Levi Smith, of Whips Cove,
Pa, thrifty folk who had saved uI
81, 400, representing the self-sacrifice
OF lifetime. But they wouldn't trusl
it out Of the house, keeping the cash
in a canvas bag concealed in a bu-
reau. Robbers entered the house
while the Smiths we're at church and
took every cent of it.
Distrust of banks is hard to eradi.
cate from a certain type of mind.
Banks are the safest places on earth
for money. The percentage of losses
by failures is so small as to be al
most negligible. But if savers will
not trust private or State banks, or
natioual banks with their money,
they certainly can trust the United
States Government, with which they
can deposit at the postoffice, assured
not only of unquestioned safety, but
interest. Since the postal banks were
established there is no possible excuse
for keeping money in old stockings.
tin boxes or canvas bags. Good
enough to have the money, but bad
thine.to keep around the house.-Bal-
timor, Sun.
