GONPERS OPPOSES
 LABOR PARTY PLAN
SAYS SUCCESS MUST BE WON THROUGH THE OLD OR-
 GENERATIONS.
WILL FIGHT INJUNCTION
Day Of Reckoning Is at Hand For Those Opposing Cause-chaI- lenges Indiana Men To Prove
 Federation Impractical.

Washington. Samuel Gompers president of the American Federation of Labor directed whitening blast at the movement to organize an inde- pendent labor party, whose candi- dates, he says, would be doomed to failure and whose appearance in the , presidential and congressional cleo tion campaign would serve ito defeat our friends and to elect our enemies.'
 The federation president is intent ly pursuing his plan to defeat anti labor candidates for Congress in both parties, and political developments of the first magnitude are expected when Mir Gompers goes before the Republi- can and Democratic conventions seek ing the endorsement of his labor plat form blanks.
 Hr Gompers is particularly intent apon obtaining q plank in each plat form declaring against the use of the injunction process against strikes. A row over this is expected in the Dem ocratic convention. which could not adopt such plan without repudiat- irg the Wilson administrations advo- cation of the injunction process to break the coal miners strike.
 The attack of the federation's chief upon the labor party movement was called forth by telegram from VII liam Mitchell of Terre Haute, Ind, representing the Indiana State Labor Party, opposing the political program Of the federation. pronouncing 1t i'm practical and absolutely unsuccessful and declaring that only a labor party can adequately protect the interests of the workers.
 MT. Gompers challenged the India na men to prove that the federation has been impractical and unsuccess- ful, inquired on what experience they could base the claim for greater sue cess by labor party, and added:
 "Of this one thing you may rest assured, that the day of reckoning is at hand for all of those who are in antagonism to the cause of labor, and for those who are subtle and equally guilty. even though they clothe their actions in the robes of p1etended friendship.
