POLICE MESS FOILS
FOES OF GOVERNOR

ALBANY, N. Y, January S1.-Re-
publican legislative bodies are lament
ing what they described as Whitman
luck"
Just when they were preparing to
send special committee of anti
Whitman legislators up the Senate to
develop sentiment among the farm
ers and city housewives against the
governors third term ambitions the
police problem cropped UP again in
New Yory city.
1t places the governor concededly
in position to popularize himself
with the voters in and out of the
greater city by adopting, If necessary,
drastic measures to keep politics from
affectinfi the morale of the city police.
BY stamping out police graft, send
ing crooked police officials to jail and
convicting the murderers of Herman
Rosenthal, Mr.. Whitman gained coun-
try-wide prominence and incidentally,
the governors chair.
Republican politi ians who were
hoping that Mr.. Whitman had lost sup
port and that his only chance of re-
nomination and reelection lay in his
strength with the Republican farmers,
whom they have been attempting to
ALLEVIATE from him, were keenly dis
appointed when they learned of the
police middle in New York They had
counted upon a more or less united
opposition to Mr. Whitman from the
city. This. plus farmer antagonism.
they felt sure would spell Mr.. Whit
mans political doom.
MIR. Whitman is not expected to
hesitate about making his intentions
clear in case it appears that the police
force is liable to be crippled.
One of Mr.. Whitman's Ne WORK city
friends, who had a heart-to-heart
talk with him about police affairs
yesterday, remarked that it was for
trnate New York had in the govern
or's chair man familiar from the
ground UP with workings Of "the
SYSTEM" and who will keep close
watch on the situation.
Inasmuch as the governor has au-
thority to remove both the mayor and
the police commissioner, Mr. Whitman
is known to appreciate that RESPONSE
bility, for administration of police af-
fairs rests, in the last analysis, on
him.
Mr.. Whitman has not hesitated to
indicate privately that he will not
permit return to the conditions OF
the good old days"

AMERICAN LABOR
HOTLY DEFENDED
BY SAM COMPE RS
10y noeNisa JOURNAL SPECIAL LEASED w,sui

New York, March 16.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, vigorously de.
Tended the loyalty of organized la.
Dor in the war against Germany in
an address today at a meeting called
by the National Civic Federation to
discuss after-war problems.
Mr.. Gompers' address was in reply
to a talk by Paul Kellogg, editor of
Survey, in which he made reference
to the failure of the American Feder-
alton to have representatives at the
International labor conference in
London, February 90. Mr.: Gompers
said the American Federation of La
Dor was not represented because the
invitation was received too late.
Asserting that the Bolsheviki and
other radical elements have been and
are trying to misrepresent American
organized labor, Mr.. Gompers said:
There is something about the la
Dor movement in America of which
you may be assured--it must be alto
gether American.
Further the labor movement of
America will not be represented at
any conference in any country where
representatives of an enemy coun.
try are present"
