BLISHMENT BY The ESCH-
CUMMINS law OF LABOR BOARD
IAN ERROR G0MPERS STATES
Governments Position Has Always Been One
of Coercing Labor, Of Threatening With
Jail and Injunction, He Says; Expression
of Administration Opinion is Withheld.
tBY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS, /,

Washington, Oct. 2S.-Expres-
sion of administration opinion on
the withdrawal of the call for a
railroad strike awaits the report
sent President Harding by the rail-
road labor board. it was said today
in high official circles. While the
board does not usually report to
the president upon its proceedings.
it will do SO in this instance, 1t was
explained. having been charged by
the chief executive with the re-
sponsibility for meeting the strike
situation.
Beyond expressions of gratifica-
ton that the threatened tieup of
the nations transportation systems
had been averted, cabinet members
generally evidenced a desire to de-
fer comment until more detailed
knowledge of the basis, of settle
ment was at hand.
The only expression of opinion
from labor circles here came from
President Gompers of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor. who de-
clared "the spirit among railroad
men today is one of resentment"
"The railroad strike will not take
place--now," Mr., Gompers said,
"but IL the railroad labor board
goes on cutting down wages and
working conditions. the present
American railroad labor organiza-
tions--which are the most reason
able in the world---will be succeed
ed by organizations which will
voice the sentiment Of the dissatis-

fled, the restless and the discon-
tented"
Mr.. Gompers emphasized his
opinion that the establishment by
the Esch-C -Cummins law of the labor
board was IN error in govern
mental policy.
THE governments position has
always come to one of coerclng
labor, of threatening with jail and
injunction men who consider strik-
ing" Mr.. Gompers said. "Yet, the
fact is that American labor is made
up of citizens of the republic, who
are not going to drop back, or to
allow a withdrawal of the stand
ards of living which they have at
tanned by their efforts"
Although declining to comment
on the clearing OF the strike situa-
ton, Secretary Hoover made pub
lie tonight the plan of a comprev
hensive organization built up by
the commerce department to CO.
operate with governors of states
for moving necessities in case of a
railway strike.
President Harding is understood
to be considering a recommends
tion to congress to effect the trans
fer of the labor boards seat of
operation from Chicago to Wash
ington. Members Of the board are
said to be of the opinion that it's
location so far from the capital
serves to hamper their work and
that better coordination with
other governmental agencies could
be had here than at distant point.

larity will slump far below its pres

address OF the afternoon session.
"It has been computed" he said.
"that the average tax paid to the
government in 1920 by each pe'son
was $4364 How was this money
spent? Here is the answer: For
wars of the past we spent 69 per
cent of the whole; in preparation
for future wars we spent 29.t per
cent of whole.
"Out of every dollar paid to
this government by the American
citizen in 1920 over 90 cents went

NON-PART|SANS
RUNNING BEHIND
IN n. D. RECALL
Leaders, However, Claim
They viii Win BY Decis-
i've Maiorities; Independ-
ents Strong in Cities.
tBy The Associated press.)

Fargo, N. D., oct. 2S.--While
early city returns from today's re-
call election in North Dakota,
aimed at three state officials en-
dorsed by the non partisan league,
showed a slight net gain for the
anti-league candidates as COM
pared with the election last year,
league leaders here reiterated their
predictions OF victory by decisive
majorities.
The larger cities. admittedly the
bulwark OF independent strength,
were fhe first to send in reports
and as consequence first tabula-
tions showed marked majorities for
the independents The leaguers
contended these early returns
would be cut down, as in former
years, where the rural vote began
coming in.
First reports seem to bear out
predictions that the total vote to-
day would be from 10 to 10 per
cent under that of last year and
probably would not reach 100000.
The first nineteen precincts to
report. almost entirely from inde-
pendent territory, showed a net
gain of 551 for r. A. Nestos, inde-
pendent gubernatorial candidate.
over the independent vote a year
ago. In Cass county (Fargo) the
first nine precincts gave Nestos a
net gain of 229.
Nestos' home town, Minot, its
vote unofficially complete, showed
a net loss for the independents
over year ago. The count was:
Nestos. 1886; Frazier, 1850. Last
year j. +. T. O'Connor, the inde-
pendent candidate, polledN 2,75S
and Frazier. 1898.
