PEOPLE MUST DECIDE
THE LABOR QUESTION
Samuel Gompers Claims They Must
Say If Its Organization Is
to Be 0utiawed.
CITES WEST VIRGINIA CASE

Samuel Gonpers. president of the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor. in an editorial
in the January number OF the American
Federationist, declares the American peo-
pie must decide without delay whether
organized labor is to be outlawed.
Gompers asserts the life of organized
labor is at stake and expresses alarm
at the indictment of officials of the United
Mine Workers in West Virginia because
Of their activities.
THE law as now interpreted and ap-
piled constitutes the most serious menace
to the labor movement" he says. That
law, which was intended to benefit human
beings, to prevent or check monopoly and
absolute control over the products of
labor and soil, and to assure to the people
the necessities Of life at reasonable prices,
has proved useless in establishing control
or regulation over trusts and monopolies.
In spirit Of glee these same mo-
nopolies, trusts, and corporations, un-
harmed by the law which was TO have
regulated them, now turn this law against
the human beings who were to have been
protected.
That the Wilson administration give
substance to its conviction il it is not in
favor of outlawing organized labor" is
demanded by Gompers.

president. Theodore W. Noyes, and Will
lam Fl. Singleton, vice president. eighty

the seasons greetings.
This marks the first time in the history
OF the organization that the members did
not proceed In a body to the White House
on New Years Day. While this presce-
dence was broken, the members neverthe-
less were delighted with the cordial re-
ception Of Secretary Bryan and were
hearty in their expressions of the sea-
sons wishes.
Before attending Mr.. Bryan's recep-
ton the association held a brief business
session at the headquarters in the old
Union Engine House. Nineteenth and II

English Think Daniels Errs
In Social Equality Program
Secretary of Navy, in Reply, Says Abolition of Old
And Un-American Idea viii Not Iniure
Discipline of Fleet In Any Way.

Secretary Daniels in an interview las
night said:
The Morning Post is mistaken. The
idea OF social inequality is antiquated
and un-American. In the business
world the mere fact that a man does
not hold as high a position as another
does not make him the social inferior
Of the other. But in business as well
as the army or navy there has to be
a rigid routine and discipline, and the
better a man is trained and educated
the better and more intelIigently can
he follow out orders and the strict
routine necessary to make any large
enterprise a success.
Also n great incentive will be given
to the average American man to en-
ter the navy as a private, since he
will be given an opportunity TO become
a commissioned officer IL he adapts
himself readily and takes advantage of
the thorough system OF education at
his disposal. In brief. there is no more
reason for class distinction or lack of
opportunity for promotion in the navy
than IN any other walk OF life"

London. Jan. l.-Abolition OF social dis
tinctiOn in the United States Navy, as
proposed by Josephus Daniels. Secretary
of the Navy, and the substitution of a
spirit Of democracy, is regarded as impOs-
sible by the Morning Post, which today
devotes a column editorial to the subject.
While II praises Mr.. Daniels for his
frankness and sincerity, II contends that
class is essential in the navy. and that ii
will be impossible to cause any change in
social distinctions.
MIR. Daniels thinks that when every
ship is made a school. as he would
have il. he will be able to make IL
easier for advancement from recruit
To rear admiral But we think that
not only will he find he is mistaken.
but also-whiCh is much more impors
tant-that he has injured the service
without having benefited the grea.
body of enlisted men.
Glass and social distinction may be
rcpugnant TO an American who be-
lieves in democracy. but these distinC-
tions are essential for the preservation
Of military discipline.

It il probable that this estimate Is not

the canal and levee construction work
there are numerous impounding reser-
voirs. which control overflow waters from

small lakes in the coastal plain. giving

fled by the government of the country Of
origin to be free frCm dangerous dis

quarantine, and must have been grown
in a district free from the wart disease
and the powdery scaE.
The regulations. in general. besides pre-
scribing the exact forms of notifying the

lands OF the United States, which they
have TILED for 1000 years. and from this
draws an interesting parallel for the
