Should Feel Regret Be-
cause of deep Plunge"

BY The Sssociated Press.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-Samuel
Gompers of the United States FEEDER
alton of Labor declared today in his
first statement on Tuesdays election
that every forward looking man
and woman must feel some deep re-
gret because of the great plunge to-
ward reaction.
But Democracy will rise again at
the proper time" he said. and
meanwhile the tabulation of results
in congress, the lawmaking body,
shows a definite and specified gain
for all that makes for progress and
responds to the need of our time"
Mr.. Gompers asserted that every
man in the house whose record of
service was perfect has been re-
elected" and added that the new
congress would show an increased
number of men holding union cards.
THE non-partisan political policy
of the federation is more completely
justified than ever"
Referring to the congressional
election Mr.. Gompers said incom-
plete returns showed that fifty con-
gressmen who were inconsiderate
and hostile have been defeated.
This Is one of the most impress
sive features of the entire election

Against these fifty the working
people have elected men who have
shown real service"
Mr.. Gompers claims the election to
congress of at least fifteen union
men and that 1t was probable the
final counting would show more
than twenty and possibly twenty
five"
1.-THE non-partisan campaign OF
the federation was primarily and
most effectively one in congression-
al districts" he continued. Its re-
suits were gained in the primary and
in the election. These results will
serve as a constant reminder to all
service of a faithful kind"

defeated, will be published by the
