LABOR READY To FIGHT
CHAMBER Of COMMERCE
Gompers d eclares Its Program on
Attack on Trade Union
Movement.

Washington, Sept. 2.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fedora
tlon Of Labor, last night replied to recent
industrial program adopted by the United
States Chamber of Commerce by charging
that the program Is, in fact, an attack
ION the trade-union movement by an
organization. the membership of which
has long been IN opposition TO the trade
union movement"
Gompers said that so long as the
Chamber continued in this kind of attack
on the labor movement, ito struggle
against these forces would be necessary"
and added that whatever sacrifice may
be required for the advancement of our
people will be made.
The attack by the labor president was
directed To program which was adopted
by the Chamber of Commerce and which
l. known as the Principles Underlying
tho Employment Relation"
One of the II planks adopted favors
the "open-shop," another demands that
those who do not wish to associate for
collective action" should not be denied
that right. another calls on all associa-
tions of employers or employees to be
subject Ito the authority of the State, =
and another plank calls for representa-
ton of employees in dealing with en-
plovers hy persons not outside the group
o. interest in the questions at issue
After replying that organized labor
would consider this as an attack and
would defend itself, Gompers continued: :
IL is to be regretted that there are
those in America who care so little for
human progress. who have so little of
the real idealism of the Republic. who
have SO small ability to express them
selves in anything but the terms of greed
and exploitation, who have so slight re-
gard Tor the welfare OF humanity, as to
make declarations of this character pos
sible in this period OF our history.
But SO long as there are those to whom
greed Is watchword. to whom the prin-
sIples of liberty and justice make no
appeal. who have no shame in the prac-
tCes OF modern barbarism and who know
no humility in the face of humanity's suf-
tcrngs and who have no concept and no
longing for a better and brighter day for
humanity, 10 struggle against these forces
will be necessary

this draft is not complete, il gives ,is
something To start on. It may be that
your committee may differ with me ON a
great many points. However, will
gladly meet with your committee and

as though the recommendation should
be presented by you to the Legislature.
With your permission ! will touch briefly
upon some of the main points which I

TRUST AND CONFIDENCE"
Delaware bankers" said ex-senator
Willard Salisbury, may possibly do more
real service to their State than any other
body OF men among our citizens. You
come from every community; you know
all our people; your advice is sought on all
important occasions. You are not de-
barred from volunteering advice, as some
other professional men may be. You have
been formed into compact organization,
| understand, 100 per cent effective, by
your honored and efficient president. Sec
to IT,, my friends, that the credit and the
honor Of Delaware shall be as high when
the history Of these, our own times, is
written, as u was IN the times Of long ago
Wnen Delaware stood second 10 none IN
the esteem Of sister States. Bankers deal
IN and work with money; money is a great
and powerful agent for good and progress
If properly applied; il may be as great a
curse If instead Of agent il becomes the
master; If instead Of the means Of for
warding our ideals, it becomes the end for
which we strive.
Our little State hundred years ago
existence with Maryland, we were 30 poor
and our expenses seemed 50 great. Today
while wealth is pouring into Our State
treasury, there never was greater need IN
my opinion for those who deal in credit
and IN cash to impress economy upon our
people"

COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION.
Alfred A. Curtis of Newark, chairman
in presenting the report of the committee
on education, said.
"The committee believes that education
is the paramount issue before the people
of Delaware at this time, and that it is the
duty of bankers and OF all other good
citizens to give their earnest support to
the measures proposed for the promotion
of Education throughout the State.
We desire to call special attention to
the Importance of instruction in our
schools on commercial and banking
problems, and in this connection we

Former Governor Charles r. Miller

report of the committee on state finances,

consideration to the question of the use of
better methods in the administration of
State revenues, and have found that the
methods now employed are uncertain and
unsatisfactory, and do not work out a
clear and unmistakable result so that a
comprehensive and reliable statement of
receipts and disbursements is not OBJ

upon the association renewed effort, in

Seek Position of Right.
In response to a question by Sem
ator Andrieus Jones, Democrat of
New Mexico. as to the belief that
labor has been disturbed by ex-
cessive profits made by cornora-
tons. Mr.. Hoover declared there
was slight doubt that such unrest
existed. although it was difficult to
estimate how vital a factor profits
were In industrial unrest.
DO you think we are in a new
day and that labor realizes it," NJ
Kenyon inquired.
That is my firm belief. as bv
and large the employees of the coun-
try are looking for a position of
right instead of a position of con-
5ideraticn."
What do you mean by that"
They want their rights instead
OF benevolence. We need the re-
stimulation of the creative instinct.
The mutual feeling of responsibility
between employer and employe that
prevailed in earlier days must be
restored by some plan OF shop or
ganization. Unfortunately. labor in
some cases has been Influenced
wrongfully against such a plan"
English Plan Opposed.
NJ. Hoover opposed the whitley
shop council plan" in use in Eng
land, and said nothing could he
more dangerous than its introduc-
tion into the United States.
He said he had no fear of the
strike being used as a political
weapon in this country. Although
a favorite device of European labor
leaders and politicians, he said. II
never had found favor with workers
in the United States. In response
to a question by Mr.. Kenyon, Mr..
Hoover declared he did not have
the remotest idea as to President
Wilson's views on the Industrial
problem.
