Highways Have Helped to De-
Velop His State.

Senator Hiram johnson of Califor-
MIA, in speaking of the necessity of
improved highways In the United
States recently said:
"We have had a great object les
son of the value OF good roads in the
paved highways of my own state
California. They have been a great
factor in the development of the state,
opening up regions which hitherto
were inaccessible and adding to the
prosperity of ALL The improvement

has been seriously impeded thus far
by the craft form Of organization and
action obtaining in the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor.
One radical labor leader put 1t this
way:
undoubtedly Gompers gains much
by the Forthcoming amalgamation Of
the Big Four with the federation.
But what he gains is the votes. We
gain the substance--the extension OF
| the principle of industrial organization
within the federation"
Much speculation has developed in
labor circles as to the price paid by
Mr.. Gompers for this amalgamat;on.
particularly with regard to his atti-
| tude toward the so-called Plumb plan.
The Plumb plans failure up to date
was ascribed by the railway unions, IN
part, to the rather dubious and non
committal attitude Gompers and the
federation took, although Gompers
was at first the president Of the
| RI
mote the idea. Mr. Gompers has con-
sistently refused to express himself
on the Plumb plan, however, which
caused much Irritation in the ranks
Of its champions.
At present there is g large organi-
cation of labor and citizen forces at
work in Washington designed to put
through the Plumb plan, with certain
notifications. Whether, with the failure
of organized labor to prevent the re-
turn of the railroads to private
ownership, the movement for the
Plumb plan is to be revived on large
scale, and in some other, form. and
whether Mr.. Gompers and the execu-
tive council have promised the rail
way brotherhoods to back this move
ment definitely as the price Of the
railway organizations amalgamation
with the federation, was one of the
subjects Of widespread speculation
yesterday. Mr.. Gompers, who was con-
ferring with labor leaders all day
would not discuss this phase of the
situation.
Mr.. Gompers departed last night
for Albany, where he will address a
joint session of the Legislature to-
day. He will reply to the address
delivered recently before the Legis-
lature by Governor Allen, of Kansas,
in which Governor Allen described
the operation Of the Kansas Court of
Industrial Relations and urged the es-
tablishment of similar court in New
York. Mr.. Gompers will take the
position that such court is subver-
siye of the rights of personal liberty
and crrtails the WIGHT to strike.

ers' organizations also were invited to
attend. This conference, which CON
vened December 10, promulgated "A
bill Of rights" in which 1t denounced
the governments injunction. against
the miners in the coal strike, demanded
troll Of railways for another two years
and assailed bitterly any and all pro-
posals for curtailment Of the right to
strike, One hundred and nineteen, inter
national unions were represented. But
while the session was distinctly agrees
sive as far as the things the unions
represented stood for were concerned,
it also took decisive action in resolu..
tions adopted against the l. w. w. and
Bolshcvik elements both in and out OF
the American Federation of Labor.
1t was at that session that the de-
cisive step was made for the amalgams-
ton Of the Federation and the railway
brotherhoods. The session marked also
the beginning of the formation of an
A. F. of erhood-Farmer tri--
umvirate, the total membership OF
which, If accomplished, will be 10000
900, divided as follows:
American Federation of Labor. $500, 1000
Brotherhoods ............... 500, IVY
Farmers 100000
The plan for the formation of this
triumvirate was regarded as labor's
reply to the so-called conservative ele-
ment of organized capital, which the
Federation considered responsible FOL
the failure of the Presidents industrial
conference and which it accused OF be-
ing DESTROYS to destroy organized labor
At the same time, the plan was also
to meet the radical stream within the
Federation, and especially the move
ment for the formation of labor party
Within such organizations as the
Typographical Union, the international
Printing Pressmen's and Assistants
Union and the United Mine Workers in
surgent movements developed challeng-
ing the principles upon which the Fed
Grafton is founded, and demanding 6
readjustment in the way of change
from the craft to the industrial form Of
organization, with the threat of disinte
grating the Federation as an alter
native. 9
At the same time, Mr.. Gompers ano
the Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor were accused OF
being partly responsible for the failure
Of the steel strike, because of THEN
alleged lukewarm attitude. Failure Of
the steel and coal strikes was laid b,
many circles in the Federation at the
door of Mr.. Gompers and the members
of his general staff. 1t had become
evident that Mr.. Gompers had to dc
some strong buttressing of his posi-
ton if he was to remain at the head
of the Federation and continue to con.
troll it's policies. The annals amation is
therefore, regarded as the stronges,
card yet played by Mr.. Gompers in this
direction.
The radical elements in the fedora
ton, however, regard the amalgama,
ton as victory for them. They main
tain that while the adhesion OF the
railway brotherhoods will bring votes
to Mr.. Gompers, it marks the strength

brotherhoods controlling the railway
industry of the United States will af-

Labor at the meeting Of the executive
council of the Federation in May This
was announced yesterday by Samuel

of Railway onductors--undoubte
would follow.
With the amalgamation of the rail-
way brotherhoods and the American
Federation. of Labor there will arise
the most powerful labor organization
in. the world, with total membership
of nearly 100000.
These figures were given by Mr..
Gompers yesterday.

"Does this new movement" Mr..
Gompers was asked, "foreshadow a
stronger and more progressive policy?"
81 think it is healthful evolution"
said Mr.. Gompers. 81 believe the pres
ent solidarity in the ranks of labor is
sound"
More than 1000 locals and seventeen
different railway organizations will en-
ter the American Federation of Labor
when the final amalgamation with all
the four brotherhoods is completed
Mr.. Gompers will thereby become ex-
offcio head of all the railway workers
of the United States and will represent
them i'll all controversies between the
brotherhoods and the railway COM
panes.
Persons close to the labor movement
regarded the forthcoming amalgamation
as the most important event in the his
tory of the movement in the last dec

year of bitter labor conflicts, during
which the radicals within the Ameri-
