.GOMPERS TELLS
OF LAB0R'S AIMS
Before Congress Committee De-
clares That Labor Men Urge
Labor Legislation
OPPOSITION FROM n. A. M.
Vindictive Antagonist To
Everything We Advocated,
No Matter How HUI
mane," He Says
OPPOSITION FROM n. A. M,

Washington, Sept. 11-samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, appeared late yester-
day as a witness before the House
lobby investigating committee, begin
ming inquiry into organized labor s
efforts to influence legislation in
Congress.
Gompers questioned by his attorney,
Jackson H. RalstOn, gave the commit
tee a detailed statement of the aims
and purposes of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, frankly told of its
efforts through legislative committee
to influence Congress toward the en-
actment of legislation favorable to the
workers, and declared that in this ef~
fort opposition of the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers always had
been encountered. 1.-The only evil
dence that I and my colleagues ever
had as to the existence of the National
Association of Manufacturers, he add
ed, was vindietive antagenism to ev-
erything we advocated, NO matter how
humane"
At the outset of his testimony Mr..
Gompers was asked to state the aims
of the American Federation Of La
Dor.
TT aims" he said, ''to relieve the
working people from burdensome long
hours of toll; to protect them in their
work, protect their ives and health;
to improve their material, moral, So
cial and political standing; to bring
about a better condition for the toll
ers of our country as a reward for
services they render to society,"
Tracing the history of legislation
for the benefit of labor, Mr.. GomFers
claimed credit on behalf of the FEEDER
alton for the work of legislative com
mittees in Washington and in many
states of the Union, asserting that all
labor legislation was constantly be-
ing urged upon legislative bodies
through argument by represen ia tives
of the working people.
s The witness said the American Man
ufacturers' association had not always
been an anti-union or anti-labor or
ganization.
LAS a matter of fact" he said, ''the
National Association of Manufacturers
was not an anti-labor organization un-
til Mr. D. M. Parry's declaration in
1908 to the convention of that asso-
citation at New OrleanA Mr.. Parry
as president, had his report printed.
It was a viruleht attack on all or
ganized labor. That report he never
read to the convention at New Or
leans. From that time the associa-
ton became anti-laber and anti
union"
Representative Willis asked Mr..
Gompers what relation the American
Federation of Labor bore to the
Knights of Labor.
"The relation" Mr., Gompers replied,
between a living human organism
and a corpse
Mr.. Gompers was called to the stand
at the conclusion of the examination
of James A. Emery. counsel for the
council for industrial defense of the
National Association of Manufactur-
ers, who said when asked what he
now thought of the Workmens Pro-
lection association, organized by Mar
tin M. MuIhall:-

Jap PIunges Sword
Into His Abdomen

Toxic, Sept. 1.-THE offices of Baron
Hakino, the minister of foreign af-
fairs. were the scene, today, of a re-
voting act when a fanatic attempted
there by the old Samqrai meth
cd Of hari-kari.
A strange man had called at the Of
fices to see the foreign minister but
he was unsuccessful in getting audi
ence with Baron Maxine. When ne
was told by the Baron'e secretary that
admittance would be denied him he
sat down On the floor of the outer Of
fee, drew a sword which he had con-
cealed beneath his kitnono and plunged
it into his abdomen. The secretary
seized the sword but the fanatic had
already given himself such terrible
wounds that he is not likely to re-
cover.

FROZEN FRESH
EGGS ENDORSED
BY GOVERNMENT

Washington, Sept. 11-F'rezen fresh
eggs have the endorsement of the
United States Bureau of Chemistry,
which today placed it's seal of APP
prevail on them as an article of whole
some food. After a long series of ex-
periments the government chemists
found that eggs may be broken, and
then frozen without deteriorattng IN
thus preserving them against the day
of scarcity, however, the chemists lay
down two inviolable rules.
Beware bad eggs" keep EN-
frozen"
The rules observed, the experts de-
clare there is no reason why frozen
eggs should not become popular, es-
pecially with bakers and other ex-
tensive users of the product. The
chemists dislike to dwell upon what
might happen to a can of eggs that
had become "unfrozen," however.
They declined, today, to discuss the
subject.

More than a score of clergyman
representing every denomination in
the city and a number of newspaper

shoIz-and4 Marsh yesterday afternoon

the Manager to the Cross the six reel
pictorial production of the life of
Christ, which is to be shown at the
Lyric theatre Saturday and all next
week The clergymen all expressed
themselves as pleased with the pic
ture and especially gratified at the
air of reverence with which the vari-
Gus characters portrayed the parts as
signed.
The pictures were made in the Holy
Land by the Kalem company and
they represent an expenditure of more
than s1oo.0 900. To portray the scenes
of the SaViour's life with the power
and impressive dignity they merited
was a difficult task.
One Bridgeport clergyman who saw
the pictures yesterday and was highly
pleased with the production remarked
that the actors displayed the same
reverent attitude in the portrayal of
their roles which was displayed by the
peasants of Oberammergau in the por-
trayaI of the Passion Play.
Messrs. Sholz and Marsh have Sc
cured the rights of the pictures for
Connecticut and Rhode Island and
their first public presentation in
America will be given at the Lyric

CAN RE-ENLIST NOW

Washington, Sept. 11-As a result of
Secretary Garrison's decision to permit
the re-enlistment of minor offenders
among enlisted men at the expira~
ton of the terms they may be serving
in army disciplinary barracks, applica-
tions for such re-enlistment are being
received by the score at the war de-
partment. The concession is in line
with the spirit of the. new discip-
linary system in the army.
When Secretary Garrison announced
the policy to the 900 men a the dis
ciplinary barracks at Fort Leaven-
worth, Kas., the men cheered with
great enthusiasm. In the barracks,
the offenders are grouped according
to the gravity of their offenses. An
honor system also is maintained SO
that, in addition to 500 in the bar
racks at Fort Leavenworth probably
200 more are paroled outside.
It is estimated that fully 80 per cent.
of the Fort LeavenWorth men will re-
enlist.
