PUbL|C'S RIGHTS
SAME AS T0|LERS,
c0MPERS SAYS
Labor Leader Makes State
ment in Reply to Queries by
Governor Allen Of
Kansas.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, June 6.--Replying TO
question as to the rights of the
public in strikes. Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor, in a statement issued
today, declared that "the public has
no rights which are superior to the
toilkr right to live and to his right
tor defend himself against oppres-
sion"
The statement was an answer to
queries propounded to him by Gov.
Henry Allen of Kansas in their re-
cent joint debate in New York rela-
tive to the workings of the new Kan
sas industrial court. Mr.. Gompers
said he had not been able to do full
justice to the question of the rights
OF the public in the debate and so
has elaborated his views on the sub
ject.
The question propounded bv
Governor Allen is an inquiry as 10
whether the public has any rights
when strikes affect production or
distribution of the necessaries of life,
thus threatening the public peace,
and impairing the public health"
said Mr.. Gompers. "In such cases
the public, including union men, has
rights and the striking union usually
is first to recognize those rights.
Few strikes affecting production Oh
distribution, actually threaten the
public peace and fewer become a
menace to the public health.
Labor has no desire to cause in
convenience to the public, of which
II is a part. The public has no rights
which are superior to the toilers'
right to live and to his right to de-
fend himself against oppression.
When but few were organized,
when employers were able to dictate
and enforce their WILL there was no
great outcry against strikes. So long
as labor was ineffective and unable
to protest there was little concern
for labor.
The right to strike. with all its
disadvantages, is an agency of prog
ress. buttreSs of manhood. of
health and vigor. promoter of pub
lie thought and education-an instru-
ment for good, democratic in concept
and essential to freedom. Its great
est justification is found in its re-
suits"

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, June 6.-Failure of
congress to appropriate as much as
was requested for naval aviation
drew a criticism from Secretary of
the Navy Daniels today. The Sec
retary took a shot at republicans in
congress and particularly Repre-
sentative Mondell the party leader
in the house, who hoasted of a re-
duction of $l3o,85i,6So In all naval
estimates.
Gas matter of fact" said Sec
retary Daniels. discussing the an
nual naval appropriation bill, "the
bill only postpones expenditures un-
til after the election and makes no
reductions except at the cost of
naval efficiency"
Secretary Daniels aired three
other grievances in addition to his
criticism of the slashing of the
aviation item. These were a failure
to make provision for a desired
naval expansion on the Pacific;
failure to authorize the construction
of single new ship and failure to
appropriate sufficient money to re-
pair and keep in condition the ships
of the fleet
A clause slipped into the army ap-
proDriation bill over the protest Of
both Secretary of War Baker and
Secretary of the Navy Daniels, limit
ing the coast and overseas activities

iels' ire. He said he intended to ask
congress at the next session to re-
verse this action, which he described
as an unnecessary and unwise limita-
ton upon naval efficiency in avia-
ton:
A special commission of senator's
and representative will visit the Pa
cifc coast this summer to investigate
the needs of naval development nee
essary bv reason of the presence of
the Pacific feet. Secretary Daniels
said he believed this commission
would see the need of the enlarge
ment of naval bases as recommended
bv the department.

BY DOROTHY DIX.

Chicago, June 6.-The main trou-
bic with this convention is that it
lacks ginger and pep.
It's not the Sabbath calm either,
for the delegates are playing poll
tics of a Sunday when they wouldn't
dare play poker after passing the
plate in the First Baptist church
back home. About the time the
heathen among us were turning
over for a second snooze this morn
ing. The president of the First Ma
tional bank of Cedar Creek and the
leading merchant of Four Corners
were out, clad in comfortable sack
suits with a red necktic and pos
sibly a Wood feather.
But were they church bound? !?
Not a bit of it. They were bound
for the Congress lobby, there to
swap cigars and conversation until
the luncheon bell rang.
Conversation is about all there is
to the doings so far. The crowds
are here and some of the hopeful
candidates are here. There is good
deal of the usual blah blah and deep
and dark and mysterious prognos-
tication. But the awful truth must
be PACED: Deep down in his heart
seems to give dern who
gets the nomination except the can
didates' themselves.
It's a Dead Affair.

W0uL D Have COP. CURB STRIKE S
Home Brew C0ntinpes
To Brew to Delight of
BOttle-NOsed Buns

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Chicago, June 6.-For months
there has been something COM
pelling about the atmosphere of
the federal building. Coincident-
ally it was noticed that a large
number of bottle-nosed buns
were hanging around the place,
shifting the air. The aroma per-
vadcd the corridors, seeped into
the courtrooms and filtered into
the Offices. Undoubtedly it was
the bouquet of spurious fermenh,
but its source remained a mys-
terry. With the arrival of spring
days the odor became more no
ticeable and the loungers arrived
in droves and haunted the corri-
dors all day.
Secret service men were final
" called in after two or three
floors had been searched without
avail. One Of the sleuths watched
a bottle-nosed gent, one of the
steady visitors, ascended the
stairs and stopped before a sealed
door shifting and signing. The
secret service man opened the
door and found a great quantity
of seized stills and tubs of mash
that had been fermenting for
months and truckloads of home
brew that had blown out the
corks and was filing the air with
their fragrance. Much of the
stuff had been locked in the room
for a year and had been forgot
ten but it kept right on working.
Inasmuch as most of il is wanted
for evidence, it cannot be de-
stroyed, but a force of officials
cleared the building of the sniff
fnp hobOes.
