crowd
Fifty-four years ago II took the
army two days for review. In 1915 Il
took less than four hours. Several
sections gave their battle cries as they
passed the president; cries that were
hollow and lacking In volume. Others
sang the war songs Of 90 years ago
In quavering voices. One section
sang Marching Through Georgia"
with n brave show Of spirit. They
were Sherman's men.
A fife and drum corps passed

DENIES CHARGE
OF BOLsHEVIsM
Gompers, III, Rises to Defend
Union Labor Principles.
LEADER RECALLS PLEDGE
Forces Retraction Of Charge That
American Workers Seek U. S. Re
volt, in Answer to Charges by
L. f. Loree in Conference.

Washington, Oct. 18-Samuel Com
pers, weak from several days OF Ill
ness, took the floor at the national In
dustrial conference to bitterly assafl
an insinuation that the wOrkingmen OF
the United States planned an attempt
to overthrow the government.
Mr.. Gompers was moved to what
was called the most eloquent speech
OF the conference by the remarks OF
l.. E. Loree, who, speaking from the
viewpoint Of the employers, referred
to what he said were attempts OF boil
shevism to gain foothold in the Uni
ted States through labor.
He added that there is an element
that believes that because it was easy
to tear down the established govern
ment in Russia it will be easy to de-
stroy the government Of the United
States.
Recalls Pledge Of Labor.
That is not true" he asserted. I'm
Russia the government was centered
IN one cZar and his ministers, but the
government of the United States is
solidly anchored in the heart Of every
true American"
When Loree, who is president Of the
Delaware & Hudson railroad, said
that labor took advantage of the. most
critical period Of the recent war to
force important concessions from the
war labor board, Mr.. Gompers rose to
his feet.
Speaking in weak voice the feder-
alton president recalled the confer
ence Of 1876 labor leaders on March IL,
1917, at which labor pledged itself,
three weeks before President Wilson
asked for a declaration Of war, to
back the government to the limit, come
what might.
Denies Undue Wage Raise.
Sand American labor made good its
pledge" he added hoarsely.
Plainly drawing on his reserve of
trength-lessened by several days of
illness-the veteran labor leader re-
ferred with scorn to Mr.. Loree's in
situations that labor had enjoyed un-
"Ah, we should go to the great cor
porati0ns, to the board of directors to
find the philanthropists of our time,"
he exclaimed sarcastically. Perish
the thought!''
i Asserting that whether you like 1t
or not, the masses Of labor of the Uni
ted States have at last found their
ability to articulate through organiza-
tion," Mr.. Gompers told the delegates
that the laboring people are producing
the wealth Of the world and that, with
out minimizing the great contributions
made by men Of thought and direction
to that production, the time had come
when In America labor was determined
to gain q fair share Of the rewards.
