sPresident Gompers presided at the
meeting of labor representatives and
he was directed to bring the matter
to the attention OF the organized wage
earners as well as all the people.
After Years Of agitation by organ
lied labor, bill creating the depart
ment Of labor was passed in 1913, in
the closing hours of the sixty-second
congress. President Wilson appointed
William 3. Wilson. former congress-
man and secretary Of the United Mine
Workers, as the first secretary of "a
Dor. The new cabinet Official found
himself handicapped because congress
failed to appropriate money for the
new department, ami a. special urgency
bill was passed at the special session
of the new congress. on May 1, 1918,
to pay the actual running expenses of
the department.
In urging congress to make suitable
appropriations for the new depart
ment, the A. F. of L. executive coun-
Gil made this report to the A. f. of l..
convention in 1918:
The department. of labor is the only
department of government which deals
exclusively with problems of human
progress and the relations of man to
man, including that of employer and
employe. To- have it thus handi-
capped in its initial work retards the
progress of the great humanitarian
purpose for which it was brought into
existence.
I'VE can not too strongly condemn
the n1ggardly. picayunish policy of
congress in dealing with the only de-
partment entrusted with promoting
the welfare Of the wage workers."

'aeW York Magistrate Reveals
plot Of Land Sharks to. Bleed
!: Purchasers.

! NEW YORK, Nov 3.-Magistratc
Mancuso has submitted "a report to
Chief Magistrate McAdoo on his ex-
tensive probe Of land frauds perpe-
trated by means cf the "free lot''
scheme, operated by 20 companies in
This city and vicinity.
1t is shown that no free lots arc
given to prospective land purchasers.
and that every one is told the same
story, which is pure fiction designed
to lure victims out to the property.
Where prospects refuse to buy other
lots and insist on having deeds for
the prize lot many Of the companies
refuse to deliver the deed, Others
holding the victim off and firing him
out with delays. One of the schemes
is to tell tn victim that his "fre lot''
is worth $500 or $500 and that he will
be allowed this sum as a credit on the
purchase Of two other lots, which arc
priced all the way from $1,000 to
$4,000. ,
The report declares that this
switch" is "probably the cruelest an
most culpable strategem in the whole
design
After the victim buys Il lot he is
told that the company has a pur-
chaser who will buy the lot at 4
greatly advanced price if he can show
by a deed that the lot is free from
debt. The victim, excited by largs
profits, strains every resource to pay
for the lot and then finds that tn.

TO Get CoMPuL sorry ARBITRATION

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-Opposi-
ton to any attempt to weaken. des-
troy, subordinate or amalgamate The
department of labor was unanimously
voted at. a meeting of two score of
labor Legislative representatives of ma
tional and international unions held
in A. F. of L. headquarters.
Several representatives stated that
the committee appointed by President
Harding to reoganize the government
departments has under consideration
the formation of department Of pub
lie welfare. with education, public
health. and labor to be the three major
divisions.
Sixty per cent OF the present func-
tions of the department Of labor would
be placed in other divisions of the
| new department.. The labor division
of the new department would be COM
posed of the bureau Of labor statistics
and the conciliation and employment
services, with an additional bureau
to be known as 'bureau of compulsory
investigation of labor disputes for
public information" The fact that
this bureau is to be created uncovers
the conspiracy which has been in pro-
gress since during the war, according
to the labor representatives.
Employers who favor autocracy in
industry have demanded the destruc-
ton of the department of labor and
the adoption of laws that will compel
employees to work against their we'll

Heavyweight Champion Unlike
Mike Gibbons, Still Sticks
With Former Workers.

Jack Dempsey, the worlds cham
pion heavyweight pugilist, carries
two union cards. one in the Metal
mine Workers union and the other
in the Boilermakers' union. He wars
in Minneapolis last week and when
interviewed by a representative Of
Labor Review, the official Flour city
labor paper, he proudly boasted of
his union memberships.
Dempsey, unlike Mike Gibbons, has
not forgotten the days when he work.
ed for wages. He declares. that he
would rather lose the championship
than the good will Of the workers.
and he still carries his union cards
and still pays dues to two unions.
~When I look back to the days
when I was boy 'mucking' in the
Colorado mines and think of all that
organized labor has done and is do
ing to make the lives of the workers
happier, I cannot imagine how It
would be possible for me to ever do
anything that would hinder their pro-
gress in the least" he said. adding
II generally feel sorry for the fellows
l knock out, but when I won the
championship from Jess Willard,
was not only glad that I was world
champion, but was tickled to know
that had taken it away from, a man
who had helped to break the: strike
Of the workers on the Illinois Gen.
trail railrOad.'
Some Of the people who are loudly
demanding that wages be cut should
try and live for while on what the
workers are now getting the cham

their minds about reducing wages.

on for his act, that I would sooner
loose the worlds championship a
