seamen and mechanics73 the Ship
ping Board official was asked.
Yes, but they had remained In
this country and apparently were
for hire by whatever interests could
find use of their ability as an in
strument against the American mer-
chant marine" was the reply.
At the same time there will be no
iet-up In the plans of shipowners anr
operators for civil and criminal ac-
ton against striking mariners and
possibly the marine unions If IL can
be shown that any sabotage was in
stIgated by strikers. The Steamship
Owners Association already has pre-
pared the evidence on such cases.
UNION DENIES SABOTAGE CHARGE
Marine union representatives ,ad-
nit that during the strike many ships
bsve suffered serious damage. They
have denied that sabotage is respons-
ible, contending that the damage was
the natural result of manning the
vessels with the inexperienced strike
breaking crews. In one case of open
is-g seacocks the ship cargo was
ruined and the vessel barely got back
TO port.
Inc private snipoWhers are now en-
gagged in determining the full extent
OF damages for the purpose of future
litigation.
Meanwhile the prospects for an
amiable settlement of the marine
strike seem more remote than ever.
Secretary of Labor Davis and the
Federal mediators have temporarily
suspended negotiations because of the
private owners refusal to agree to a
general reinstatement of the strikers.

GOMPERS' POLITICS
MAY COST HIM JOB,
PREDICTS WORKER
Avowed Support Of Cox in 1920
Will Count Against Him Heav-
lily at Convention.

Reputation OF the stand taken by
Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation OF Labor. and q
rcprimand for him for trying to throw
the Federation into politics bv sup
porting Governor Cox in the last cam
raign. will be one OF the features Of
the annual convention OF the Amer
ican Federation OF Labor in Denver
this month. This is the statement
made by a member of the labor de-
psrtment OF the Republican national
committee. ''t
The Atlantic City convention OF the
year before last. the speaker said.
went on record for nou-pclitiLal
night. and In the face OF this ;.mpers
openly espoused a partisan cause and
tried to thrown the votes OF the union
workers to Cox.
How well he succeeded, he said,
was shown at the polls last November.
This defeat has left a bad taste In
the mouths Of many union men,; he
said, and they do not like the slur
that is being made py the anti-union
men throughout the country that the
election was a repudiaticn OF union
labor.
Such is not the case, union labor
men say, because it was through the
votes of the union men of the country
that Harding was able to poll such a
large vote.
HAS FLEXIBLE VIEWS,
Gompers, it is said has changed his
stand on some of the features of the
Republican platform he fought. 1t
was stated by a member of the labor
department of the Republican ma
tional committee that the head of the
Federation at a recent convention left
the platform where he was presiding
and took the floor OF the meeting when
the Plumb plan was brought up for
consideration, and that he spoke
against the plan at that time. During
the Republican convention he asked
that the plank be inserted in the plat
form. He did the same thing. IL IS
said. at the Democratic convention and
met with the same result-failure.
After Gompers professed to have eX-
amined the labor records of President
Harding and Governor Cox, he came
out for the Democratic candidate. This
in the face of the fact that records
showed that Cox had been opposed to
Union labor on several occasions.
This was to be expected by union men.
because of the fact that Gompers is a
Democrat and members ~ the eYecu-
tive council Of the American Fedora
ton of Labor are nostIy Dsmocr.ts
or those who are not would not dare
