Labor Withstands
Fight ON Unions,
Compers Declares
Emerges From Year of Con-
aict Unscarred, Despite
judicial Power Thrown
On Wealth Side,' He Saws
From The Trioune's Europeon Bureau

From The Tribune's Europeon Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 25.-The indus
trial strife and other national events of
the last year are reviewed Nv Presi-
dent Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor in an editorial
made public to-day, which will be pub
lished in the January issue of "The
American Federationist." Pledeing
organized labor to the cause of prog
ress, Mr.. Gompers declared it has
wlthstood "the battle cry of destruc-
ton of certain employers, aided by
Judicial power thrown on the side of
predatory wealth." The article reads.
IN part:
e" The year through which we have
just passed has been a year Of CON
centrated struggle. Certain EMPLOYERS
greeted the year 1921 with the battle
cry of destruction. They felt a sense
OF power without esponsibiiity TO the
social entity. They felt that the road
was clear for the amassing of fabulous
wealth and for the establishment of
industrial dictatorship. Two things
were clear in their minds: to reduce
wages and to destroy the unions, the
voluntary organizations of the work
ers. in order that wages might be per-
manently held down and in order that
working conditions might be deter
mined likewise in arbitrary manner, to
the detriment of the workers.
"Organized labor stood firm against
this destructive movement. 1t has
maintained its position with such
tenacity and purpose that wage reduc-
ton has made but comparatively
triiing headway, while the destruction
Of the unions has made no progress at
all Labor is as united and as deter
mined as overland a great deal
more so.
Labor had more than this to contend
with, however. The courts contributed
their share. Judicial power has been
thrown on the side of predatory wealth.
Destruction of law by usurped power
has continued apace. Injunctions have
grown and multiplied.
"On the ouner hand, the propagan-
dists of various political and indus
trial cure-alls and fantasies have been
busy in an attempt to eat at the vitals
OF our movement. A great, vicious cir
Gle of destructive undemocratic, op-
pressive influence has sought to the
limit of it's capacity to destroy the one
great constructive force in American
industrial life.
Ouf movement has stood the test
with flying colors. No movement less
responsive to the needs Of the workers,
less qualified to serve, less able to re-
sist, could have stood so completely
unscarred through such year of con-
t1ict.
THE world to-day stands uon the
Threshold of a ten-year naval holiday,
from which it is hoped the world will
emerge into everlasting peace. Labor
led the way to the present conference,
with its record from the beginning of
our movement and with its declaration
adopted by the executive counsel in
May and by the convention in Denver
in June, calling for such an interna-
tional conference as the President
later determined to call.
"These are evidences of labor's
temper and spirit and willingness to
serve"

Thinks
Garment " az Will
Be Settled Soon
Says r h Ill a d c | p h i a and
Chicago Manufacturers
Are Ready TO Make Com
promise With Workers

An early settlement of the garment
workers strike, with possible victory
for the strikers, appeared not unlikely
yesterday, according to an announce
ment made by Benjamin Schlesinger.
president of the International Ladies'
Garment Workers Union.
He said that he had received a tele-
gram from the union officials in Phila-
delphia to the effect that the manufac-
turers there had receded from their de-
mands that piece work and longer
hours be made effective in the indus
try, and that negotiations had been
entered into by the Philadelphia strike
leaders and manufacturers representa-
tives for a settlement
In addition Mr. Schlesinger an
nounced that the union heads in Chicago
had been informed by the manufac
turers there that they were desirous of
confirming plan for settlement pre- :
serted to them by him on December II.
but which they rejected at that time,
and thus opening negotiations for an
end of the strike SO far as Chicago is
concerned.
"The plan I submitted there was
what the union has stood for all along
the returning of the workers to their
JUS uhueT tHe terms or the agreement
broken by the manufacturers, said Mr..
Schlesinger at embodies the reten-
ton Of week work, the forty-four- hour
week and the same scale of wages.
The Philadelphia negotiations now
are proceeding on the same line, the
only apparent reservation being made
by the manufacturers is that thew want
to reduce wages in some individual
cases"
Mr. Schlesinger said that he would
go to Chicago tomorrow with view
to resume negotiations with the manu-
facturers there.
Neither William Klein nor Max D.
Steuer, counsel for the New York man
ufacturers, could be reached last night
for comment on the possible effects of
the Chicago developments on the strike
situation here.

Pastor Praises Rockefeller
One of Worlds Most Helpful
Persons. SAYS DIR. Reisner

The Rev. DR.. Christian F. Reisner
said last night in his sermon at Chel-
sea Methodist Episcopal Church that
John D. Rockefeller was one of the
most delightful and helpful persons in
the world and was building a soul.
"Whle filings and unfair charges are
made against John D. Rockefeller" he
said, "these attacks fall fiat because
they are not true. Mr.. Rockefeller has
most delightful home and possesses
himself one of the most delightful and
helpful pers Qualities to be found any
where.
HE is humble and rich in friendli-
ness. He is genuinely sympathetic
with all classes. He is trusted and
admired by all who know the facts
about him. Why? Because he devotes
himself to giving to every kind of a
cause that will uplift his fellows. In
this very habit he builds soul, 8
spirit, personality, that creates its
own happiness and sees where to give
so that it will count"
