Lnbor,s Rcgrcttal,lc Action

It HAT large portion of the American pub
1 lie which is friendly toward the aims
and aspirations Of organized labor, will re-
Eret the action of the annual convention of
tho American Federation of Labor in giving
unqualified Endorsement of government own
crshp OF the railroads. In the vigorous fight
he made against the proposition, Samuel
Gompcrs, veteran leader in many n hard
fought battle. in which the organization has
gained substantial victories over opposing
interests by holding true to its original aims,
was Overwhelmingly beaten
The defeat OF Mr.. Gompers on an issue in
vovng vital reimbursement of the fedora
tons attitude toward forcing it upon the
country as an addition to governmental
functioning, virtually means that the com
handing leadership in the organization.
which he, has maintained for forty years
with wisdom and conservatism. has been
ovcrthrown, and that henceforth its coun-
sells will be controlled by radicalism
which till now he kept thrust in the back
ground II had been hoped that the vigor-
Gus campaign which he has been waging in
recent months to check the influence OF
radical propaganda among the rank and file
OF the organization would show appreciable
results in" the present convention, but the
overwhelming vote by which the government
ownership proposition was put through be-
speaks poor requital for his patriotic efforts
In rejecting Mr.. Gompers' sage coun-
sci. and TO that extent impairing the
strength Of his leadership. if, indeed, no
should undertake that thanklcss task in
the future, an issue SO repugnant to
the informed thought of the country as a
whole the federation has committed itself
II folly that will put il out of sympathy
with prevailing public sentiment and in
the antagOnisms cngcndcred by its support
OF the policy il has cspouscd, will stand to
lose that friendly help from many groups
which, in the past, has counted potentially
in furtherancc of its legitimate aspirations
by its action not only does the fedora
tion commit itself TO q program OF political
effort inviting controversies which will
undermine it's strength. but, if the program
upon which it has entered should eventually
meet with success, which is altogether un-
likely. its realization would be as disap-
pointing as Dead Sea fruit; for Mr.. Comp
crs spoke no idle warning when he said
the action taken was step toward the
enslavement of the workers as government
employees" Under the system that would
be the inevitable outgrowth OF service under
government ownership, the right of collec-
tive bargaining might perchance be pre-
served. but the right to use the weapon now
| relied upon to make such bargaining CT
! fect.vc would unquestionably be denied as n
! menace TO public order and uninterrupted
| national activity.

nat-footedly that continued refusal

Tho answer OF the rail- men, who
