Wilson Caucus
Huge Failure
Members Made Mistake IN
Not Recognizing Unions,
SAYS Federation Head.

Washington. D. c.. Dec 50.-sam-
uel Gompers. in an extensive state
ment. again flayed president Wilson's
industrial caucus. He declared the
failure Of the conference to recog-
nize the rights Of union labor was a
serious mistake. Compress statement
followed questioning on the tentative
report Of the commission.
Certainly, 3Ir- Gompers added,
the conference should reconsider this
point IN order TO make possible the
cooperation Of wage earners which
can be expressed only through organ
izati0ls OF their own making
Mr. Gompers SAID thaC any plan 70
establish or maintain anything like
fair relations between workers and
employers must avoid compulsory
features declaring that the mass OF
Americas workers were american
citizens and in that sovereign citi-
zenship they are free men"
Proposals for compulsory labor are
repugnant, he added
WORKERS Must AID.
In order 20 promote constructive
and permanent changes that wiz
eliminate causes or much industrial
unrest, Mr.. Gompers said. the con-
ference should consider governmental
agencies TO provide the necessary In
formation and assistance in obtaining
continuous hetterment Of working
conditions This problem, he added
must Ultimately Be worked out by
employers and employees, with the adj
vice and assistance Of the govern
ment.
Discussing a statement in the com
Missions report regarding relation
ship between emnloVer and emulove
in large Industries, Mr. Gompers de-
clared that both employers and EN-
ployes must be organized in order TO
become responsible parties 70 any
system Of mediation or arbitration,
otherwise, he contended, the arbitra-
tion tribunal must deal with individ-
ual instead OF organized groups.
Depends on OrEuuiEuffon.
The principles OF representation
depends upon rEauization" he said.
Frank Morrison, secretary Of the
federation also criticised the confer
ence's suggestions. He noted partic-
ularly that there was no reference 10
collective bargaining or the necessity
for organizations Of workers, and
said both Of these principles are ac-
cepted by every forWard-looking man
and woman 81 the country"
The declaration against govern
ment employees Joining the American
Federation Of Labor" he said, would
indicate that the commission has been
affected by the temporary wave OF
anri-unionism-"
