1t was rumored thruout the legis-
lative chambers at the state house
late this afternoon that Samuel Com
pers, head of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. was in Topeka today
or would arrive this evening At any
rate it is believed that he will be here
to appear before the legislature in
defense OF the labor unions in con-
necticn with the Allen industrial court
bill.
A call at Labor~hall and on several
union leaders late this afternoon
brought out no information on Com
pers' arrival. They agreed that they
would not be surprised at an an
nouncement to the effect that their
great leader would be with them in
Topeka but they denied any knowl-
edge of his plans. They -.ated that he
was not in the city today.
The visit of Gompers to the legis-
lature will complete the nation wide
