impending tragedy held the spec

until darkness hid the wreck.
The Anton Van Driel, laden with
a cargo of coal for the Dutch gov

GomperS Says Trade Unions
and Bargaining Measure
Cannot be Ignored.
AVOID COMPULSORY FEATURES

t. Associated Press.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 29.-Sugges-
tions Of the presidents industrial
conference for the settlement of la
Dor unrest drew fire. Monday. from
organized labor in the first OF the
public discussions invited by the
committee in its report, published
Monday.
Samuel GOmpers, president OF the
American Federation Of Labor. said
the failure OF the conference TO re-
cOgnlze definitely the organizations
of workers-trade unions-as the ba-
sis for representation was fatal
omission. while Frank Morrison, sec
retary of the federation, noting the
absence Of reference by the confer
ence TO collective bargaining or the
necessity for organization OF work
ers. and any one who would avert
or postpone industrial conflicts,
could not ignore these principles.
Reconsider Question.
Mr. Gompers declared the COM
mission should recorEder the ques-
tion e definite recognition OF trade
unions. Gin order 10 make possible
the confidence and cooperation OF
wage earners which can be ex-
pressed only through organizations
Of their own making"
ANY plan to establish or main
tain anything like fair relations be
tween workers and employers must
avoid compulsory features" he de
clared ANY proposal for compul-
sorry labor is repugnant TO American
sovereignty and citizenship"
Anti UniOnism Wave.
Mr. Morrison said the declaration
against government employees join
ing the American Federation OF La
Dor would indicate that the commits
sion has been affected by the tempo
rary wave Of anti-unionism.
THE statement" he added. "of-
fers no hope to lovers OF industrial
peace l,ho see the necessity Of
abolshing autocracy in industry and
giving employees a direct voice in
their working conditions.
1T Is no solution to empower the
president and cabinet officials 10 Sc
lect representatives OF workers 10
adjust disputes. The workers must
have this power themselves"
Nothing New.
Mr.. Gompers, at the outset OF his
statement. said that except for its
opening declaration he had found
nothing new and little OF interest
in the conference report
"In the opening statement" con-
tinued Mr.. Gompers, 'the report
sets forth the right relationship be-
tween employer and employe IN
large industries can be promoted by
tha deliberative organizations OF that
relationship. But the report fails
TO give definite recognition 10 the
application OF this truth. Both en-
Tloyers and employees must be or
ganized IN order 10 become respon-
sible parties TO any system Of media
tion or OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES the ar
bitration tribunal must deal with
individuals instead of organized
groups. The principle OF represen-
tation depends upon organization.
Fatal Omission.
The failure OF the conference TO
recognize definitely the organizations
Of workers-trade unions-as the
basis for representation is a fatal
omission Certainly the conference
should reconsider this point in or
der TO make possible the confidence
and cooperation Of wage earners
which can be expressed only through
organizations OF their own making.
