GOMPERS BLAMES H. C. l.
FOR UNREST CONDITION

CLEVELAND. April IA. Samuel
Gompers. president Of the American
Federation of Labor. here to attend
a convention of cigarmakers, said that
nothing practical had been done to
prevent the high cost Of living. and
that laws to protect the masses from
exploitation have been turned against
them.
Unless wages are increased to meet
the increased cost of living. 1t is
equal to a reduction in wages, and
corresponding lowering of the work
ers' standards" he said.
NO wonder then, that we find work
ers, non-members of organized work
ers, and even some who are union
men. becoming impatient. I urge upon
all the workers. in their own inter-
ests. to organize and practice self.
restraint, so that in an orderly and
rational manner the demands Of labor
may be presented and secured. Mt
tie or nothing can be accomplished
by wild cat strikes
