Complaint From Labor in
All Parts of the Dominion
Bolshevism Is Feared
Increase in Wages Does Not
Keep Pace With Living
Cost; Women Add Protest
Special Corrcspordence ca


OTTAWA, Canada, May 1.-THE
rorkmen of Canada are drilling into
tbe minds Of the members of Canada's
special Industrial Commission the
thought that something must at once
be done to lower the high cost of liv-
ing. The sessions held in the West
and ct some Ontario points the past
week have emphasized this and shown
that the increased wages do not keep
mace with the increase in the price of
nearly all the common commodities Of
life.
While the governments recent effort
10 keep out foreigners and labor dis
turbers has kept off the approaching
storm for a time, there are evidences
tina. the situation is tense. The West
ern provinces, in particular, are caus-
me anxiety, as more Socialistic doc
trnes are being launched from there
than ever before. This week, in the
House of Commons, the strength of
Canada's world famous Northwest
Mounted Police was increased to 1900,
and in future it will operate in Brit
ish Columbia and Northwestern On
tario as we'll as in the prairies.
Canadas most influential newspaper,
"The Montreal STAR" scores what it
terms the foreign labor agitator, who
il busy. especially in the West, in ad
vocasing programmes of the Bolshev-
lists and Syndicalists. 1t points out
that these men, who are stirring up
trouble, would not appear before the
Industrial Commission. "The Star"
recalls recent advice given by Samuel
Gompers, leader OF the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, who said "The Amer
lean Federation OF Labor is for the
protection of all the people; it aims
to destroy nothing" and goes on to re-
call that many Of these foreigners,
who have waxed fat on wages earned
during the war instead Of enlisting,
,re acting as if they were the masters
of Canada.
Farmers also are dissatisfied. The
Western farmers are getting wealthy,
but think the tariff is too high on all

Retirement Report
Called Foes Trick
BY Samuel Gompers
Federation of Labor Head
Says He Has No Intention
of Ending His Work for
Labor; Candidate Again

Samuel Gompers has no intention of
retiring from active work in the
American Federation of Labor.
The veteran president of the Fede-
ration made this clear yesterday when,
in denying published report that he
was about to retire on full pension as
president emeritus Of the organiza-
ton, he denounced the story as
originating with enemies Of the
federation or of his policy of pro-
Amcricanism.
"The story published in The New
York Sum- that it is my desire to re-
tire from the presidency Of the
American Federation of Labor. is alb
solutely without the slightest founda-
tion, in fact" said Mr.. Gompers.
"The enemies of the American Fede-
ration of Labor who would weaken it
or destroy it have every year publicly
declared and privately avowed their
determination to defeat me st each
forthcoming convention. They hid
their hatred of the American Fedora
tion of Labor by aiming their shafts
of bitterness and opposition at me.
II am neither war-worn nor weary
of the work. I am not a gutter, nor
can there be any easy berth provided
for me. I shall be president Of the
American Federation of Labor or a
worker among the rank and file.
"Those who want to get rid of me
as president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor will have to try their
hand at the convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. where the
bona fde delegates will have their
right of selection, nor can l be coaxed
out of service by pretence of over
kindliness.
when ferreted down, the 'rumor'
that l desire to retire from the presi-
dency of the American Federation of
Labor will be found in the wish of
some one who hates me for my Ameri-
canism, or for my loyalty to the cause
of labor and who has conceived this
gentle method of trying to dispatch
me from the field of active work in
the great cause of labor, justice and
humanity"
Guy II Oyster, his secretary, said
the report that Mr.. Gompers was about
to retire could be looked for each
year just before the annual conven-
tion of the Federation
Mr.. Gompers's physicians" he said,
give assurance that with his marvel
lous recuperative powers and enforced
rest he will be better man in every
way than before his accident"

Only 800 Candy Makers Now
On Strike, Say Employer

The strike of candy makers, called
Friday by the Bakery and Confeotion-
cry Workers. Union, has been prac-
tically broken, it WAS said yesterday
by officials of the Mirror stores, who
employ most of the strikers. Less
than three hundred workers remain
on strike, it was said, and these are
expected to return to work tomorrow
or Tuesday. The strike affects only
a few factories, including those of the
Mirror and of Henry Keide, both on
Hudson Street. The strikers demand
a 20 per cent wage increase, forty
eight hour week and recognition of the

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Complete
figures on the number of unemp Dyed
placed in jobs by the United States
Employment Service during its sixteen
months Of activity, show that 4,557.-
259 men and women were provided
with suitable jobs during that period
Figuring these 4,557 ,259 jobless men
and women's time worth minimum
OF 1925 day." Director General Dens-
more said to-day, "it can readily be
seen that if they are placed by virtue
of having been assisted in securing
job one day sooner than they other
wise would have been that the econo-
mical saving to them and the country
during these sixteen months amounted
to more than S10,0OO,000."
The Director General asserted, how
ever, that the saving was possibly two
and a half to three times that amount.
as the minimum wage is much higher
and the average loss of time in turn
over is minimum of three to four
days.
During the same period s,6s3,7s4 ap-
plicants registered with the service

Mexican Strike Fizzles
Only Newspaper Workers c.
Out in General Walkout''

MEXICO CITY, May 1.-THE gen
eral strike proclaimed for Friday by
the labor organizations in the Federal
district proved a fasco, except as re-
CARDS the newspapers. None of the
public services was affected by the
strike, but the organized workers in
the newspaper Offices went on strike
and prevented the leading dailies from
appearing The publishers have sent
an ultimatum to the unions declaring
that they will not be recognized in the
future and that the strikers must re-
turn to their posts as individuals.
Publication of Gel Pueblo" the semi
official government organ, has been
suspended because of its attitude in
regard to the strike of teachers which
brought on the present industrial
crisis. The teachers strike has not
been settled.
