coMPERs AS A LEADER.

Samuel Gompers who has been
posing as a sort of ballast wheel for
the radical element, and actually
went to Europe as an advisor of the
President, has thrown off the mask
in the present crisis when his good
influence would be of most value,
and is encouraging an unjustifable
labor war against capital at this
time. In Washington Tuesday dis
patch says, thousands of organized
workers of the District of Columbia,
paraded down Pennsylvania avenue
in honor of Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor and later heard the veteran
leader assert that "big business
definitely had determined to give Ia
Dor, because of its growing strength,

part of industry" Mr.. Gompers said
that Nhile at the beginning of the
steel strike he considered it Gun
timely" since learning of the plans
of the steel companies in common
with all employers he had changed
his mind and now the steel strikers
had his utmost sympathy. AS evi-
dence of this sympathetic attitude he
appealed to the District of Columbia
workers to contribute to the support
of the strikers.

Republican Political Sensation Turns
Out to Be Flash In the
Pan.

! The armstrong Mystery" so ral
! as the identity Of Armstrong is con-
cerned, has vanished into thin air.
| A. S. j. Armstrong, whose bid for
furnishing cloth to the State House
of Reform at Greendale, KY, was ac-
cepted by the State Board of Con-
troll in August. 1918, is in Louisville
and has been here all the time.
He is no more mystery than
any man who was born in Jefferson
county, has made his home here all
his life and whose family has been
prominent in Louisville and Jefferson
county for a hundred years.
Who MIR. Armstrong Is.
A. S. j. Armstrong is 98 years old.
He was born in Jefferson county
at the old Armstrong place near
Buechel on the Bardstown road.

known in Louisville chronicles as !
having married, as his second wife,

Here More Than Century.
William o. Armstrong, the father
of A. S. j. Armstrong, was born in
Jefferson county about eighty years
ago. Venue P. Armstrong was in
Louisville long before that time, so
he history of the Armstrong family
IN Louisville dates back more than
one hundred years to the very be-
ginning of the city. To give further
evidence of how completely this fam
ly of mystery" figures in the very
of Kentucky history, the
'amily is descended from Daniel
Boone.

rominent in business in Louisville. .

LEVEL HEADS AMONG LABoRITEs.

Samuel Gompers and the executive
board of the American Federation Of
Labor has advised caution and a few
months OF truce before organized labor
breaks out in any more strikes to gain
its demands. The belief is becoming
quite general that wage increases have
about run their race and that hereafter
attention must be given to reduced
consumption and Increased production
to meet the h. c. Of |.
Trade reports show the highest
commercial activity among the luxur
les of life, automobiles, pianos, phono-
graphs, silks and high priced shoes.
The things that are bought when pes
pie are flush are booming hence the
population on the average is not SUI
fering because of the cost of necess.-
ties.
The right to strike like the right to
carry gun should be the last resort
In self defense and should never be
used when other more peaceable means
are at hand. No set of men need
strike today TO obtain sood wages. A.!
man need do is to step across the
street to another shop at a better
wage Those who advocate the use Of
an organized strike today are advocat-
ing a policy Of force and violence
toward the property interest OF the
employer when 1t is not necessary to
protect labor and they destroy produce
ton, which is the one paramount ne
cessity today to restore the wastage Of
goods caused by the war.
Periods OF great unrest, strikes and
disturbance to production among wage
workers always presage the eve OF re-
action and hard times. II we could
have Industrial peace just now and
maximum effort at production with ali
the worlds cupboard bare Of goods
this country could be kept on a plane
Of busy employment. and good waSss
even at falling prices for years to come.
