ComPers Predicts
Ne,U Labor Issue

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81.-Samuel
Gompers, speaking tonight for organ
lzed labor. declared the injunction in
the coal strike case "can only result in
creating new and more disturbing is
sues which may not be confined sole)v
to the miners"
The statement, issued Jointly by Mr..
Gompers, Vice-President Woll and
Secretary Morrison, of the federation
after they had protested to Attorney
General Palmer against the action of
the Federal Court at Indianapolis, fol-
lows:
"Ihroughout the period Of the war
and during the nations time of stress
the miners Of America laborcd patient
ly, patrlotically and arduousy in order
that the principles of freedom and
democracy might triumph over the
forces of arbitrary authority, dictator
ship and despotism.
Enrichment of Owners Charged
"When armed hostilities ceased last
November the miners found them
selves in the paradoxical position
where their intensive labors were being
used further TO enrich the owners OF
coal mines and merchants dealing in
coal by the immediate reduction of the
mining of the coal Of course the
mine owners readily conceived that ar
overabundance of mined coal would
seriously disturb the high prices of
coal and endanger their large margin
of profits.
"On the other hand. the miners
found that with the constantly rising
cost of necessities Of life, and with
their income reduced over so per cent
because Of idleness, they had reached
the limit of human endurance. Orderly
and improved processes were invoked
to negotiate a new understanding with
the mine owners which would enable
the miners to work at least five days
during each week throughout the en-
tire year and allow them a wage suffi-
cient to enable them to live in decency
and free from many of the pressing
uncertainties of life.
I'm attempting to negotiate this new
understanding and relation, the miners
found their plea for continuous en-
ployment would destroy the mine own
crs' arrangement to curtail the mining
of coal so as to continue exploiting the
public with high and exorbitant prices
"The mine owners very cleverly met
the issue by appearing willing anc
anxious to negotiate, but only if the
miners first would throw aside the only

trucks also, which would be used to
supplement this service, and thousands
OF volunteers would be ready to op-
crate them if necessary
Officially, however, Washington was
not tonight inclined to believe that
the brotherhoods will go out, although

Of their mon even moro set for a

LIZ HdIS oSc.
Mr.. Marion K. Mcleod and Wifc.
Dear Mr.. Mcleod: I guess by the
time you receive this letter you will
have already heard through the mil
itary authorities Of the sad death OF
your son.
+ am therefore not writing this rs
an announcement but simply to eX-
press my deep sympathy and to an
swer the questions know would be
asked by fathers or mothers heart
Your son was not killed. It was
simply Gods will that he go, and, ly-
ing down, he passed out without a
word or a grcan, just as a little child
falling asleep. December the Sth was
a warm, quiet rainy day and just af-
ter sundown Marion was in his bill
let with about a dozen Of his mates
when he received a letter from his
sister. He read the letter and SAT
right down and answered 1t. After
writing the letter, which I am en-
closing herewith to you, he got UP and
was laughing and talking with the
boys and seemed to be feeling al
right when he suddenly grew pale
and still with a smile on his face he
sat down, thea laid himself down and
still smiling, took one deep breath
and was gone.
His death is sad, as are all deaths,
but you have chese things to be thank
full for and they should be the silver
iining for your dark cloud Of sorrow.
First: You have the honor Of be-
ing the parents of son who stood
the test Of fire and who always did
his full duty without regard to per-
sonaI safety and at no time did he
hesitate even when under heavy shell
fire.
Second: Although thousands OF
miles from his home and in a coun-
try where temptations are many. ne
lived clean life and God willed that
de die without suffering and without
the horrors of a mangled body or
without the horror Of being taken
away in any other way than the most
natural
He was buried at LeMans with full
military honcrs and his body will soon
be taken home to America and placed
for final rest there. For this you
should be thankful for there are so
many sons who We're blown off Of the
face OF the earth and whose bodies
even will not be brought home as a
comfort to their loved ones.
And Marion did not neglect to pro-
tect you in your old age. He left you
$4,000 insurance and you reed
not pay out a cent to any lawyer to
collect this for you as it will be paid
to you by the government
Marion was we'll liked by all of the
boys who knew him and they too
share your grief and send their ex-
preston of sympathy.
With every good wish to you, am,
Sincerely yours,
Robert T. Brown,
Captain, 11Sth Infantry, U. S. A
