In all there are at least 200 delegates

than dozen governments have sent
official representatives., and the i'm

A most interesting group is COM

keen disappointment that the alliance
did not hold to the plan of calling the
convention in Madrid, as originally in

From The Tribune's Washington Burenv
WASHINGTON, June 6. Vigorous
defense of the workers right to strike
was made to-day by Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federation
of Labor, in reply to the question about
the rights of the public in strikes,
asked by Governor Henry J. t.'Ien of
Kansas in his debate with Mr.. Gosapers
in New York on the Kansas Industrial
Court law.
"The public has no rights which are
superior to the toilers right to live
and to defend himself against oppres-
sion," declared Mr.. Gompers in setting
forth his arguments that laws designed
to curb strikes were unjust and inef.
fectual
Governor Allen asked Mr.. Gompers
during the debate whether the public
had any rights in dispute between
capital and labor affecting production
and distribution of necessaries, or
whether it was ''private war between
capital and labor" Mr.. Allen asked.
also, if the public had rights. how these
rights were to be protected
Mr.. Gompers at that time declined to
answer. In his statement to-day he de-
clared his reason for not replying was
because it would have developed a line
OF argument foreign to the question at
issue. He added that the language of
the question was improper.
While Mr.. Gompers comedies in his
reply that the public has rights, and
weapon in the hands of organized labo r
sometimes suffers as the result of a
strike, he suggests no machinery for
the protection of the public. He ar
to protect it from oppression, and as
serts the temporary inconvenience the
public may suffer is justified by the
larger good that results to humanity
from the betterment labor is able to
effect through enforcing its demands.
Mr.. Gompers asserts that labor is a
considerable part of the public, and
adds that the path to industrial peace
lies not through state-created arbitra-
tion machinery, but in the acceptance
by employers of the principles of COL
lective bargaining. Mr.. Gompers con-
tends with vigor that strikes cannot
and should not be prohibited by law
Mr.. Gompers' statement is regarded
as the answer of organized labor to a
question which was forced vividly to
the front by the Boston police strike,
and the nation wide coal strike last
winter, and for which an answer has
long been sought. The belief that the
public was entitled to protection was
the theory on which the government
prcdicated it's intervention in the
bituminous coal strike, and was respon-
sible for the creation by Congress of

Famed Delaware Shad
Rapidly Passing Away
Failure of Present Season Inde-
Gates Total Disappearance,
Old Fishermen Say

PENNSVILLE, N. j.. May 49,
Veteran fishermen and dealers along
the Delaware River are almost unan;-
nous in their belief that the famous
Delaware shad is about thing of
the past, at the rate the business has
fallen off in the past few years, and
that the next generation will barely
know what northern shad are.
The industry was established along
the river on the Jersey side many
years ago and for half century has
been followed by scores of men who
supplied not only the city markets.
but country districts, where the fish
was looked for each year as regular
ly as the strawberry or peach seasons.
When the industry began boats we're
hauled ashore and ne line started
from this place, gathering up the
days catch, taking it direct to Dock
Street market, Philadelphia, where tfa
fish were distributed to a number of
commission firms, who were located at
what was known as the Old Dock
Street Fish Market.
In those days shad were dumped in
bulk in the hold Of the vessel. four
or five feet deep and without ice,
and were so plentiful that some Ash
ermen got return as low as 81 a
hundred
AS high as 63.367 shad were caught
in single day in the season of 1890,
while four years later the entire
seasons catch was only 1o6 900 and
this year not more than $500 have
been landed.
Shad is now SO scarce that it is not
profitable for any one to fish and the
few men in the creeks and river are
continuing because it has been a life
time vocation.
There is a strong belief that only
closed season Of eight or ten years
in all the rivers and bays and sounds
on the Atlantic coast will ever re-
store these fish in large rumber-.

day between senator's, spokesmeen
of the various groups said they did
not expect any move in the senate
until after President Wilson's letter
is made public.
The only development, today in
the treaty controversy was the in

The mild reservation" leaders, it
was said, we're told that the Kend-

solid democratic support. The Kend-

involve verbal changes and elimina-

is no need for drawing on the Unit

Mr.. Hoover states that aside from
some secondary measures by our

ratification of peace and ordinary
business processes" He adds that
"by secondary measures / mean that
some dozen cities in central and
