ment is Opposite to La
boris Demand.

Montreal, June 1.-THE labor plank
adopted by the republican national
convention was condemned here to-
day by Samuel Gompers, president Of

mont OF public utilities strikes and tri-
bunals similar to the Esch- -Cummins
transportation act Of 1920.
The plank. Mr.. Gompers asserted, is
directly contrary to what labor had
demanded Of the republican party.
I'VE had asked the convention to
go on record in favor Of the repeal Of
the compulsory arbitration sections Of
the transportation act" he added.
but the Republicans appear to have
not only refused our suggestion but
would extend it to all utilities
Mr.. Gompers arrived here today

ed labor's demands to the national re-
publican platform committee.
