GOmpers's Methods Criticized
Samuel GOmpcrs's use of the steam
roller for hattcning out the opposition
of the radical members Of the con-
vention has met with a mixture of Criti
CiSm. generally, though there is some
division of opinion as to the wisdom of
choking off utteranCe concerning qucs-
tions which are progressive or radical
according to the viewpoint Of the in
dividual. The majority of delegates
seem to be well satisfied with the strict
parliamentary discipline kept by Mr..
Gompcrs, who is president of the fed
Grafton.
Mr.. Gompers has not at any time at :
tempted to stihe free expression of
opinion, but he has prevented the pro-
longation of debate by recognizing a
demand of question.
The most determined effort made thus
far by the radicals to jam an issue
through was that of yesterday after
noon when James Duncan. of Seattle,
tried to force a rollcall vote on the
question of introducing an initiative and
referendum provision in the constitution
of international unions. Mr.. Gompers
won by an overwhelming majority.

NEXT TUESDAY IS TO
 BE A LEGAL HOLIDAY
(Continued from Page n


 to some boy who was risking his life for us and fighting our fight for us. We were not only putting up our good money then, we were putting up our credit too. And part of the obligation we were mourning, was the responsi- bility of getting that vast army of boys home and well started once more in civil life. No honest man will seek to avoid this obligation to the man whom we called on to forsake home, kindred and business in order that the honor and safety of the United States as nation might be protected and the continuance of its institutions insured. They did their part--how splendidly and with what heroism and devotion the whole world knows. For what they did, for the blood they shed, we can never pay. But we can pay the bills and national honor demands it should be done with a promptness and decision that will enable us all to turn whole-heartedly to affairs of peace and give those responsible for the conduct of the government an oppor- tunity to complete their plans so that the whole country can settle down to its accustomed peace basis with as lit- tie of delay and confusion as possible.
 To expedite this result, I, Mitt Sims, Acting Governor of the State of Ari- zona, by virtue of the authority vest ed in me by law, hereby proclaim Tuesday, May 6 legal holiday to be known as Victory Loan Volunteer Day, and call on all Arizonans to close their places of business and suspend their usual occupations on that day to the end that they may devote their energies and their influences as vol unteer solicitors to securing subscrip- tions to the Fifth Victory Loan so that not only the nation at large, but that we also, the citizens of Arizona, may have the satisfaction of knowing that the obligations of our beloved state have been fully met.
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the great seal of the state of Arizona to be affixed.
 Done at Phoenix, the capital, this 29th day of April, 1919.

SAYS MANY PEDDLERS
 IN UNIFORM TAKERS

Police chiefs of all cities of the country were appealed to today by Col. Arthur Woods, special assistant to the Secretary of War, in charge of the employment of discharged sol- diers, to aid the government in pre- venting peddlers and street takers from wearing the uniform of the army or navy.
 In letter sent to the chiefs, Col. Woods said he believed many, if not nest, of the men in uniform, peddling in the streets, never had seen serv- ice. Employers who hire men in uni form to peddle for them were de- nounced by Col. Woods as "cooties" who do it simply to play upon public sympathy.
