Grafton of Labor yesterday Pres.
John Fitzpatrick told that the trust
press had been bribed by ads of the
Harvester Trust to print the false
statements of the labor troubles at
those plants. Fitzpatrick called the
trust papers by name and he men
toned the Tribune. The Trib report
er didn't wait till the meeting finish
ed He left the hall shortly after
Samuel GOmpers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, who
attended part of the meeting. And
the story the Tribune ran today
about the federation meeting is one
of the most vicious attacks on the
federation in years. Members of the
federation stated this, to Day Book
reporter this morning.
The TTib discusses the inner cir
Gle" and the ring" it says is con-
trolling the federation. Contrary to
the statement of the Tribune, Presi-
dent GOmpeTs' speech did not have
the body Of the delegates with him.
At one time he was interrupted by
d uClGSdJG WHO dSkCu ulul why uS
had denied the right of the fedora
ton to be represented on the floor
of the San Francisco convention.
The question received a storm Of ap-
plause.
John Fitzpatrick spoke on the
present industrial unrest and told
how organized labor had to stand be-
hind those Unorganized men and
women who had come out on strike
to be ''misrepresented by the press,
enjoined by the courts, and locked
out by the bosses"
Pres. Gompers, after telling about
his family, which consists of four
generations of Unionists, and how he
wasn't rich and didn't expect to leave
anything to his children, ETC., asked
why he was criticized at the meet
ing of the Public Ownership league
the Sunday before.
The league had discussed Gompers

AND TRIB TRIES TO SLAP BACK

the preparedness parade here. The
league went on record against this
paid parade of big business" Being
on affshOOt Of the federation, Com
Pers put it up to that organization.
GOmpers was asked by a delegate
why he had denied the right of hear
ing to the Chicago Federation dele
gates at the last convention if he so
believed in the right Of free speech?
The few Kisses which greeted this
question were drowned in a storm Of
applause and again the Trib dis-torts
the facts to make "Trib news" by re-
versing this fact.
At present there is a truce be-
tween the. A. T. of L. and the c. F.
of L. The matter at issue, the expul-
sion of delegate, will be taken up
before the executive board of the A.
F. Of L. this month. The G. F. of L.
has been fighting for this hearing for
six months.

on Thursday, the 9th ,at8 clock,
D: M, Oolenoy suffers tho loss
OF a most estimable ladv. 1t
was here that she was born,
reared and lived until 4 months
ago when they left the old home
for the one above mentioned.
But we still claimed her as be-
longing to us. This brief sepa.
ration had only served to
strengthen the affection which
we held for her, to realize more
fully what her presence among
US meant the kind loving friend
the accommodating and gener-
Gus neighbor-we loved her.
Mrs. Simmons, nee Nancy
Medlin, was the daughter of the
late Michael MedIin. She was
" years Of age and had been
married for 49 years. Two
brothers, r. S. Medlin, of Daw-
sonville, Ca, S. Fl. Medlin, of
Walhalla; one sister, Mrs. Betsy
Holder of Six Mile; three daugh-
ters, Mesdames Mary and Tex
anna Finley and Martha Holder;
four sons, j. d., j. L., S. l.. and
Arthur Simmons, beside hus-
band, survives her.
She Joined Oolenoy Baptist
church fifty,odd years ago. A
remarkable fact in connection
with this was that she was the
first one to join by experience
since a period Of eignt years.
Her death followed a two days
illness of intense suffering.
On Saturday, the 9Th, her
body was brought by way of
her old home and interment
made in the cemetery here. Flu,
neral services were conducted
by Rev. Lafayette Powell. Des-
pite the disagreeable weather,
the church was filled with sor.
rowing relatives and friends tC
pay the last respects to the dead
our beloved friend.
In recent communication tC
q friend here, she enclosed the
following lines:
THE way seems dark and dr2Ary,
The sun is shining dim.
And nm tired and weary
And long to go to Him.
There wait the friends and dear ones
We loved in days Of yore,
And long to go and find them
At Heavens open door.

"By George, you haveY said Guy
Falconer. He had listened, like the
others, with increasing wonder as the
American told his story.
IF England were only prepared, too,
along similar lines" Ethel viii
loughby said. She did not finish her
remark There was no need of that;
for the vain wish that lay behind her
words was only too evident to them
all.
"But she isn't prepared not the
least bits she, Sir George?" Char
lie Brown turned to the member Of the
British admiralty as a man who could
easily back up his statement in an au-
thoritative fashion.
Sir George Wagstaf vouchsafed an
enigmatic smile. He was, to be sure,
vitally interested in everything the
newspaper man had said. But he had
no intention Of allowing himself to be
startled into making any ingenious
admission.
IF you don't mind, sir, should pre-
fer merely to listen," he said quietly

quick nod Of understanding. "Force
of habit makes me ask questions. I
guess / thought was interviewing
you.'' And, taking out his cigarette
case, he asked EtheIs permission to
smoke Always an enthusiast, he had
thrown every ounce Of his nervous en-
ergy into the discussion. War was a
subject that, in those days, was ever
present in his mind.
Preparation such as Germany's is
often the surest guaranty Of peace"
Streetman remarked, reluctant to
quit the topic that most interested him.
He hoped, too, in the course of the tea
party, to gather information of some
sort that might prove of value to him.
He had been quick to perceive that the
American was uncommonly we'll in
formed upon conditions throughout
Europe.
Ordinarily such preparation makes
for peace Brown admitted. But not
with Germany! She's been itching for
chance to demonstrate her theories;
but the trouble is, she guesses wrong.
Diplomatically, ever since old George
w. Bismarck died, she's never been
right. And just now she's guessing
she can lick France, Russia and Eng
land with the rest of the world thrown
in.'
"And perhaps she's right" Henry
Streetman could not refrain from add
ing.

The "supers" of the moving pictures

Yet for all this he is to have the pay

thinks he deserves the wages Of Mex

from competition. He is a "supernu-
merary." He gets the wages paid in
callings that put little or no premium
on mentality. Bruises, sprains and
gashes, in world dripping with gore,
have a lessened market value since
