Washington, ID. C.. Nov. 10.
Fifty thousand dollars was thrown
away by the so-called nonpartisan politi-
cal oampaigners of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. This was to great
extent the personal effort of Samuel
Gompers. the head of the organization.
His efforts were resented bitterly and
opposed by some OF the leading figures
in his own organization. The amount
of the expenditure will be shown In the
coming report to the clerk of the House
of Representatives under the law which
requires that such expenditures be so re-
corded
Officials of the federation talked only
generally about the results obtained
through their activities in the campaign.
1t was recalled that Mr. Gompers in
tended to make public the names of the
candidates he had defeated as soon as
the election was held, but not name
slipped out to-day.
Now 1t appears that the greater part
of the Gompers battle was fought in the
primaries The only candidate for a
nomination generally known to have
been beaten on labor record is John
j. Esch. Wisconsin. However, the
Gompers heavy artillery was trained on
Representative J. Stanley Webster
(Washington), author and sponsor of
the anti-strike amendment to the Cum
mins-Esch railroad measure. Webster
fought right back and recorded notable
victory not only in the primary but in
the general election
According TO Gompers's henchmen the
$4,000 fund was amassed mainly through
a levy of one penny a head throughout
the Federation. Where this levy fell
down In some places, bigger contribu-
tons in. others made up the deficit.
Federation officials loyal to Mr..
Gompers insist that thirty-five Sena-
tors and Representatives who did not
meet with their ideas lost their togas
and their seats respectively, az a re-
suit of the influenced vote at the pri-
maries. Another twenty-five, they say.
were trampled on in the elections last
week.

New York Herald Bureau,1
Washington, ID. C., Nov TO-

Unemployment is increasing slowly
but steadily throughout the United
States. according to scattered reports
received by the Department of Labor
from State employment agencies and
other volunteer organizations.
Conditions are more acute in the
Pacific Northwest and the Dakotas than
in any other section. according to these
reports. though increasing unemploy-
ment is shown in the New England
States. largely in The leather and textile
industries.
Since the disbandment of the employ
ment service of the Department OF
Labor there has been no governmental
organization in Washington receiving
complete or authentic reports on en-
ployment conditions.
