BRYAN came TO the front twenty
wears ago with his proposal to pay our
debts with 50-cent dollars, and he has
been a national mischief maker ever

FORM UNION, COhPERS
TELLS 35 TEACHERS
Committee Named to Work
Upon National Organization.

Samuel Gompers last night urged
thirty-fve school teachers at the Hotel
Longacre to organize a union for their
own and the eommunity's benefit and 70
affiliate with the American Federation
Of Labor. He impressed especially that
this utilization was not compulsory and
would in no way conflict with any
rights they now possess.
II will withdraw this suggestion" he
said. 'if any authorized Investigation
into the books Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor can show cause why a
teachers union should not join the ma
tional organization.
"Many persons consider me a hydra
headed monster who may order mill
ions of men TO strike at any time, but
in all my life l never ordered or di-
rected any workers TO strike. And !
challenge my worst enemies to point
out in any of my writings a single line
In which | suggested striking. The
American Federation Of Labor has no
such power"
A committee is TO work upon details
for national organization.
