.GOMPERS SPEAKS TO
CIVIC FEDERATION
Regulation of Industrial
Corporations Generally
Discussed

New York. December 12.-Labor or
ganizations are allowed to exist in the
United States, yet the right of coali-
them under the Sherman antitrust law,
Samuel Gompers, president of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, asserted to-
day in an address at the fourteenth an
nual meeting OF the National Civic Fed
GRAFTON. The regulation of industrial
corporations was the general topic dis
cussed by Mr.. Gonspers, John Hays
Hammond, Prof. j. w. Jenk5 of New
York university, John M. Stahl of the
Farmers National congress. Timothy
Healy. President A. B. Garrison of the
Order of Railway conductors and 9TH
ers. The annual banquet of the asso-
citation was held tonight.
Mr. Gompers cited recent case in
which a labor body was dissolved. by
the courts and other cases in which in
dividuals have been indicted because
they struck in sympathy with fellow
workers. He recalled the coal strike OF
1902. The victory was dearly bought
and the suffering was awful" he said
but the movement was wonderful and
wrought great changes in the economic
material, social and moral condition OF
the workers.
THE working people in the anthra-
citesand bituminous regions of Pennsyl-
vanfa are now threatened with the loss
of their rights, for the employers arc
attempting to take their rights from
them. 1t is the duty of the miners
union to see that the conditions they
won remained unchanged and the en-
ployers should be compelled to main
tain the conditions by moral force OF
associated effort of workers"

their low rates would be lost to them
