two factions and the enthusiastically

terest in the Butler Earlham game than
1t has taken in a Butler affair for seN-

Indianapolis is strong for him. The

rs THIS A CHANGE TO-
SLEEPS CLOTHING?

After the complyete rout of Mr..
Gompers in the recent elections, and
his reputation by the very men
whose votes he sought to deliver to
the Democratic candidates, there
seems to be well defined movement
on foot TO rehabilitate him in the
ranks of organized labor and with the
oeople generally, declares the Repub'
ilcan Publicity Association, through
its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne,
Jr. Reminding the country of the
activities of the Reds in undermining
society, Mr. Gompers' friends are put
ting him forward as the hope Of org
anized labor in successfully resisting
the movement, and of the people in
the maintainance OF constitutional
government. One well known writer
in the Washington Post says that the
efforts of organized labor under Mr..
Gompers leadership to defeat the
radical moement will be watched
with increasing interest by the Amer
lean people,whose institutions of gov
rcnment are inperilIed."
at behooves every citizen In this
country, whether or not he is mem
ber of organized or unorganized lab
or. to lend his aid in the crushing
of the Red attempt to disrupt our
government But in so doing he must
beware Of false leaders. Of which Mr..
Gompers is one. The labor chief has
probably done more to make America
fertile field for the exploitation of
fradicalism than any other man In the
country From his commanding posi-
| tion at the head of an organization OF
100000 members. he has aided and
abetted labor upheavals which, II they
had succeeded. would have meant
the practical establishment of soviet
ism in the United States.
Mr.. Gompers' record in the steel
strike of year ago, apart from any
OF his other activities, is sufficient to
stamp him as a friend of the radicals
whom he now processes to oppose,
William z. Foster, the organizer OF
that strike. was picked by Mr.. Comp
ers for the purpose, and actively sup
ported by him throughout the dis
turbance. Before Foster had become
Gompers portege he had Published
book called "Syndicalism." setting
forth his views of society. with the
contents OF which Mr.. Gompers must
have been entirely familiar. 1t is
sufficient to quote but few lines tc
reveal the true Mr.. Foster:
THE present so-called capitalist
system must be destroyed. The wa,

to accomplish 1t Is to organize the
working people into great syndical-
list organizations--revolutionary labor
unions. The political state as at pres.
ent constituted must be blown up,
wrecked and cast aside. The way to
accomplish this is by direct action
the general strike. Labor must not
stop to choose its weapons in its
struggle against the great industrial
organization of today and the state
us whole. All considerations of
ethics and morality must be discarded
as SO much dead wood, as so many
letters blocking labor's liberty of
action"
These words were written about
four years before the steel strike, but
they proved so embarrassing to Mr..
Gompers in his endorsement of Fost-
er that the former found 1t necessary
to apologize for his radical lieuten-
ant and insist that his views had

the apology, the New York Times
had this to say: "Mr. w. z. Foster,
however rapid his transmogrifcations,
is at best a philosophical anarchist
transformed into a syndicalist. Meth
er form is pleasing to Americans.
Out of neither will Mr.. Gompers,
whose excellent old intentions we all
recognize, get new reputation"
"The Gompers reputation after the
country had experienced the steel
strike. the coal strike, and the Bos.
ton police strike, was sadly tarnish.

men who sought to destroy society
through those means revealed him as
a true radical and in that light he
stands today. Heralded now as the
nations bulwark in stemming the Red
tide, Mr.. Gompers. reasoning priori
would be among the first to seek IA
