PRES. GoMPERs' ADDRESS

president Samuel GOmperS was next
introduced and spoke with his usual
fervor in behalf of organized labor.
In reply to Mr.. Moore's tribute to the
workers who made the Exposition pos
sible, Mr.. Gompers said:
You started right. You had to un-
derstand, and did understand that If
this Exposition was to be a triumph
far exceeding that of any other in the
history of America, it was necessary
to take into consideration this new
element, this great group of our peo-
pie knocking upon the doors to be
heard not necessarily only to make
demands upon society, but to be ac-
corded the privilege of being of serv
ice. The men of labor responded to
your call. You placed them upon your
directorate, you placed them in posi-
cooperated with you in every honor
able effort to make this Exposition,
not only mechanically and artistically
a success, not only to make it a fl
nanoial success, but to place upon the
history of this Exposition the mag
nificent tribute of fraternity and ideal
ity.
There is coming to be understood
more widely than ever that our coun-
try, the Republic of the United States,
is founded upon the sovereignty of
her people; that in this great Repub-
lie of ours the demand of the wealth
producers, whether upon the farm, in
the factory, the shop, the mine, the
mill or elsewhere, is not based upon
any poverty or misery of the masses
of our people, but upon their inherent
natural right to the rewards of their
toll and the reward which society
owes to the toilers of our country,
the producers of wealth, without
which labor and service modern So
ciety and civilization must come to
an end.
The American Federation of Labor,
as its name implies, is federated

Thirty-ffth Annual Convention of the

Under Happy Auspices at Exposition
Struggles Purposes and Achievements of Organized Labor
Set Forth in Eloquent Addresses

The regular meeting of the Thirty
fifth Annual Convention Of the Amer

to order at 10 o'clock am, Monday,
Nov 8, by Mr.. Daniel C. Murphy,
President of the San Francisco Labor
Council
Following the customary prayer,
Chairman Murphy introduced Mr.. c.
C. Moore, President of the Board of
Directors of the Exposition, who gave
an address of welcome, saying, in
part:
Ladies and Gentlemen-There have
been, or will have been within a few
weeks, $50 or more congresses and
conventions held in this Exposition.
Many of them have been significantly
and appropriately held here. l might
say all have been welcome, but sitting
here as delegates of this American
Federation of Labor Convention, can
any of you doubt that all that have
preceded, this convention has by
rights, by the proprieties and by all
of the reasons justifying conventions
in this Exposition, a special place and
a special reason to be here
OF course you are welcome. There
has been a great deal said about the
success of the Exposition, it's accom-
plishments, its Influence to advance
education, an appreciation of art, of
science, of mankind in his relations
one with the other. I hope and be-
lieve we have done something along
such generous, splendid lines. But
everywhere these grounds over is the
evidence of a cooperation of labor,
enthusiastically, helpfully, purposely,
and we now extend to you all an ac-
acknowledgement and recognition. And
with our welcome goes a special fer
vor that you, its representatives from
the country over, have come here to
see what labor has done in the Expo
