AN OPEN LETTER

October .. lslss
Mr. Samuel Gompers, President,
American Federation of Labor,
Washington, d. c,
Dear Mr.. Gompers; I have read
about all that the local papers have
printed relative to the doings OF the
Industrial Conference and am aston
ished that they have utterly ignored
the two NIGHTLY important reasons
why wage 'workers should be insured
the right to be. represented by advo-
Gates who are not OF necessity chosen
from among their co-workers.
Perhaps you and your colleagues
have done this at the meetings of the
conference and the papers (desiguedly
or accidentally have omitted report
ing It, Permit me. therefore, to pre-
sent my own statement of those two
unequivocal and unanswerable reasons
II VIII very seldom happen that

be any who are sufi3ciently endowed
with and experienced in the use of
the mental faculties that are absolute
ly essential to success In pleading the
cause and convincingiy representing
the rights, need and desires Of their
fellow workers. Men Of that particu-
lar kind OF ability are seldom content
to remain long in the relatively Limited
and subordinate positions OF wage
workers. Therefore. when the employ
ers insist upon limiting their employees
to representatives chosen from among
their co-workers they are demanding
a manifestly unfair and essentially
dishonest advantage. because the en-
ployers and those they would natur-
ally choose to represent them are, Of
