GOMPERS ANSWERS
THE CRITICISM Of
ORGANIZED LABOR
The Whole Should Not Be
Condemned for Crimes
of the Few, He
Declares

Washington, January 6.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fedora
tion OF Labor, today speaking before the
Senate committee on judiciary, in
favor of the Clayton anti-injunction and
contempt bills, gave answer to eritieims
aimed ,at the organization of workers
which he heads because of the trial and
conviction for dynamiting of officers of
the structural iron workers union.
"If ever the time shall come" said Mr..
pers in the climax of address, when

the structural iron workers unions and
leave them helpless and at the mercy
of organized capital and Unsuitable. un-
curbed greed for profits.
Heavy Blow for Labor
Though all censure those whom
men may deem guilty Of dynamite con-
spiracy. none feels the terrible conse-
sauences of the indianapolis trial more
keenly than organized labor. There have
been added sorrow and heartache TO
our already heavy burdens. The men ac-
cused and sentenced cannot suffer the
penalties alone, and all working men feel
the suffering of the penalty. But what
of the conspiracy of organized capital?
The conspiracy to throttle the liberty of
the toilersss To tear from them the
means of protection by which they have
bettered their condition, to leave them
bare and defenceless in the competitive
Struggle. Is not such conspiracy suf-
ficienly bastard to increase odium?
Should the conspirators with their hands
stained with life blood of mems ambi-
tion, happiness and liberty be accorded
nothing but honor and respectabilty?
Should they be allowed to continue to
manipulate the powers of the government
and the administration of ju.tice until

Majestic

The Majestic theatre was filled three
times yesterday to see one of the sea-
sons best offerings In vaudeville-a happy
combination of acts. that fit into eacn

From the applause received there are
two or three acts that might claim the
honors of the BILL as for instance Jules
Held and His Merry Kids in ..Examina-

liams and Held Examination Days" is
gathering of school time nonsense,
different from any that has been seen
here and in many ways superior. There
are nine people in the act, four being
bouncing schoolgirls who dance, sing and
act we'll at the same time. 1t is the
headline feature.
Miss Otto is the girl at the piano, .
but that hardly expresses what she really
is, for she sings most acceptably several
new songs. One in which she introduces

to wit is the act of Williams and Held.
Sid Williams making one of the best
black face comedians of vaudeville, and

differs so essentially from the average

club here today. Although the weather
was unafavorable, the dogs did excellent
work. The judges withheld the names

though this organization has been in
existence for 23 years and has paid more
purses than any other field trials or
