GONpERS A MARKHAM CONVERT.

Washington, d. G. - "As. leader of
spokesman for laboring men in pro-
motion of their rights and interests in
many ways entirely proper, Mr. Comp
ers has been effective and deserves the
commentator he has received" says
the Republican Publicity Association.
But in recent years much of the good
he has accomplished for labor has
been counterbalanced by prejudices
created as result of policies he has
pursued. He has undertaken to COM
nit organized labor to policies which
the laboring men Of the country will
not support for the reason that they
recognize the fundamental evils in
volved - evils which menace the ma
ton and which if fostered will react
to the injury of labor itself,
"Mr. Gompers backed the police
mems strike in Boston strike
which left the good people of that city
men, women and children, personal
and property rights-open to violence
at the hands of mob. Because Gov
ernor Coolidge refused to reinstate the
striking policemen, Mr. Gompers sided
with thise who strove to deaf the Gov
ernor for reelection. The result was
a demonstration that the better class
of labor does not sympathize with the
radicals in their ranks, for Coolidge
was reelected Governor by a record
plurality. Moreover, the issue in Mas
sachusettes caused the nomination Of
Coolidge for Vice President and his
victory in a record breaking presiden-
tial election.
"Mr. Gompers gave his moral sup
port to the Infamous Adamson Act the
passage of which was secured by a
method commonly described as hold
ing a pistol at the head of the nation
and commanding the nations Con-
gress to pass the bill within speci-
fled number of hours. The proponents

"Mr. Gompers is honorary presiden

poses that the government shall issu'

ing that at least the latest interest
rate would be necessary on the bonds,
this would bean an annual interest
charge of nearly billion dollars, still
leaving the countr yto pay freight and
passenger rates on the high scale of
costs the railroad employees seek to
maintain. This is scheme that has
no support among laborers outside the
group of rail employees to be bene-
fitted thereby.
Now Mr.. Gompers allies himself
with those who are seeking general
amnesty for that class of criminals
called political prisoners - men who
did all in their power short of riskine
their own lives, to bring about the de-
feat of America in the war. This is
another scheme that will not have the
support of labor, organized or unor-
ganided. Labor in general performed
its duty in the great war with full
measure of devotion There were

Hoo Photographers
SOftenS The Portraits

A certain fuzzy" effect in motion
PICTURES bears the name of a great
motion picture producer who was
the first to use it.
Most folks suppose that the whole
thing is accomplished with a camera
slightly out of focus. That is not
the case, although the real method
is simple and curiously ingenious.
If the camera were thrown a little
out of focus the result would be
quite different Some parts Of the
picture would be recognizably dis
tinct and others quite distorted.
The new system is called "diffused
focus" The camera is equipped
with a lens made of two lenses.
In the diffused focus lenses. the
two lenses making up the system
have slightly different focal lengths.
one. say. throws a sharp focus at
two inches and the other at two AMI
three-tenths inches. Then, when the
film is exposed there are two
images. each a little different from
the other, though each is sharp
alone
The blending of these two large
images gives the artistic fuzzy
effect so pleasing 10 most movie
patrons and quite the thing among
society portrait photographers.
