.GOMPERS DOES NOT WANT A NEW LABOR PARTY ID BE FORMED
Must Hold Organized Labor .In Position to Help Their
 Friends and Defeat
 Enemies of Cause
By Associated Press

Washington, February 29s-For-
 mation of a political labor party
 would be "detrimentaI to the in-
 terests of labor and exactly in line
 with that which is most ardenly
 desired by those who seek to op-
 press labor,o Samuel Gonpers de- =
 cIared in letter to William
 Mitchell of Indianapolis, leader
 of the Indiana state labor party,
 made public here today.
 Mir. Gompers wrote in reply to a telegram from Mitchell and his asso ciates supporting the action of the Indiana state labor party in opposing the political declaration of the Amer iean Federation of Labor calling on organized workingmen to elect their friends and defeat their enemies. Mitchell's telegram declared in favor of making the fight solely through Ia labor party.
 By what right" MT. Gompers' let ter said, do you assume to declare the work and the policy of the Amer ican Federation of Labor impractical? Surely the results achieved in the in terest of the workers demonstrate the utter fallacy of your assumption.
 By your declaration you assert the practicability of the course you de- clare you will pursue. What experi- ence have you had with your political party upon which to base so absurd claim?
 "Of this one thing you may rest as- sured that the day of reckoning is al hand for all of those who are in an- tagonism to the cause of labor and for those who are subtle and equally guilty, even though they clothe their actions in the robes of pretended

MUST LEARN LESSON

When you shall have learned the lesson of the real struggle of labor and the cause for which our movement stands you may become penitent for the gross injustice you have done by your position and your course.
 The effect of separate political party can only be disastrous to the the interest of all forward-looking people.
 ",The votes that would go to labor party candidate would, in the absence of such candidate go to the best man in the field. In no case would they so to an enemy of labor
 There can be no hope of success of labor party candidate. The ef- feet, therefore, of a political labor ssrty will be to defeat our friends and lfo selee4s ngzr sFn er-si css. A ssl HI.abor can look upon the forma- ton of a political labor party only as an act detrimental to the interest of labor and exactly in line with that which is most ardently desired by those who seek to oppress labor.
 WELFARE OF HUMANITY
 "The welfare of American humanity demands in this hour of national crisis that there be success at the polls. This is no time for experimentln5 with political theories which are proven false at the outset The work CTS of America must use the tactics of success They must have results
 Results will not be obtained by in jec.ing labor party. so called, into th6 struggle.
 Those who are determined to be blind to the facts of the present and past will, of course, rush on to dis aster and calamity.
 This the American labor movement will not do. It rejects and repudiates inc fallacies of blind theorists and will have nothing to do with those treacherous follies that are suited only to the purpose of labor's enemies.
 Your telegram is an affront to the labor movement and an assault upon the interest of that great body oi Americans who are determined that the present campaign shall result, not in the destruction of our liberties, but in the opening of the way to nationa progress and the enlargement of op- portunities for human welfare. safety and happiness"
