Labor Is Facing
Grave Crisis Is
0onpers Word

Washington, Feb. 23.-Issues of
the most serious character affect
ing our people and our republic
are faced by organized labor. Sam
uel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor, de-
clared here today at the opening OF
the extraordinary conference OF
Representatives of national and in
ternational unions.
The issues lin the main are
known to all, though not under
stood by ALL" he said, adding that
"our concern is for the democratic
institutions of our country and for
the safeguarding of our freedom
wherever those things may be at
tackled, whether the attacks are
made by plutocratic reaction or be-
cause of the insidious propaganda
of Europeon insanity"
The first business was the pre-
sentation by the executive council
of a bill of rights" and recon-
mendations for a labor program.
The council framed its report after
being in continuous session nearly
all day yesterday.
For Closed Shop.
The program was understood to
provide for a campaign against am
ti-union shops, wage reductions,
compulsory arbitration, labor in
functions and open shop propa-
ganda.
One of the proposals, II was gaid,
calls for a publicity campaign to
offset the propaganda of the ene-
mics of union labor.
Federal and state legislation 10
further the cause of ,orgaRized la
Dor, also is to be considered. =
The conference. union leaders
said, is expected to determine the
attitude the federation will take in
its relation with the incoming re-
public administration. Survey of
industrial conditions throughout
the country was being taken by la
Dor leaders here for today's meet
ing and all agreed that the present
depression was the worst the fed
Grafton had faced in years.
Industrial depression and wide
spread unemployment, leaders said,
would not deter the federation in
its plan to combat attempts to fur
ther reduce wages and inaugurate
the "open shop"
There are more than 200 dele
gates present, the majority being
executive officers of various unions.
