MIR. GOMPERS EXPLODES

Probably Mr.. Gompers thinks it ad-
visable to talk rubbish about the
"enslavement of American labor" At
all events, he does it. He knows, just
as well as every wage Garner in the
country who has a head on his shout
ders, that American labor, in eompari-
son with foreign labor, Is the best
paid, has the best living conditions,
and is the farthest removed from
present and prospective "enslave-
ment." When Mr.. Gompers, or any
other labor leader, talks on the con-
trary, he talks soap-box rant, and he
must know that he taIIks soap-box
rant.
But Mr. Gompers does it just the
same. A recent promunciamento of
his reeks with It, In reverberating
platitudes, he says for Instance.
Resistance to tyTanny, IN whatso-
ever form expressed, is a moral obli-
cation of the American labor move
ment
Triumph of the principles of Demo
cracy is the ideal of organized labor.
Service in the cause of justice is
the keystone of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. This service is freely
rendered whenever it may be needed
! ito defend the American concept of
| freedom for the people as declared in
the Constitution of the United
States"
And then he urges all the officers of
State Labor Federation offiliated with
the American Federation of Labor to
be "alert and on guard so that the
forces Of labor may use every endea-
vor at their command to prevent the
enactment by the State Legislatures
Of laws that would ensIave the work
ers and to prevent the multiplying of
existing laws that conserve the rights
and liberties Of all the people.
1t is explained in connection with
this latest Gompers explosion that he.
MIR. Gompers, feels the ground sIip-
ping from under him because of his
antagonism to labor union radicals.
and that it is consequently incumbent
upon him to do something in the ex-
hortatory line to maintain his pres
t1ge as the bulwark of the down-trod-
den. So he roars that Reaction in
many sections is rampant" and then
he proceeds to lambaste Reaction"
in the mosH approved Gomperian
style

DATE CHANGED FOR
GAME WITH KEENE
High School Gridiron Contest Set for
Friday, Armistice Day, at 2.45
O'clock at Island Park.

The date of the BrattlebOrO high-Keene
high football game, which was scheduled
for this week Saturday afternoon, has
been changed to the afternoon o. Armis-
tice day, which is a day earlier. The
game will be called at 2.45 at Island
park.
Keene high school has not defeated the
local high school at football since 1916,
and the Granite state lads hope to break
their losing streak this year keene has
a strong team which has defeated Green
field and Nashua in the last two weeks
by decisive scores, and seems to have the
advantage over the locals as far as com
parative scores go; but the local high
school team has improved rapidly. and
in a gridiron battle with their old rival,
the local boys should play much better
football than they have shown before this
year. One of the most hopeful signs Of
the increasing ability if the local outfit
is their POS victory last Saturday over
the Amherst team, which is rated As being
the equal of the Greenfield team, which
two weeks previous took the locals into
camD by. a 1870 score.
Keene high plans to send over to the
game a crowd of some 300 royal root
ers.'' so the local fans will have TO turn
out we'll to eclipse the keene representa-
ton. The high school football manage
ment is expecting a crowd of about 1000
if the weather iinx stays away from this
locality on the day of the game.

Carl Sargent, Farmer" Who

Carl Sargent has returned home. The
young West Brattleboro farmer who left
home Oct II after telling his sister. Miss
\. Belle Sargent, and his neighbor. Royal
II. Faulkner. whom he engaged to do the
farm chores, that he was to be away
week. came back last night, and today is
about the farm as usual.
Where Mr.. Sargent has been since Oct.
u he declines to state, saying that If
ANYBODY finds out where he went the in
formation will come from somebody be
sides him. He is very much disgusted
that the public got stirred up about him,
which is taken to be his reason for de
clining to say anything about where he
has been.
He came home by automobile from Mas
sachusettS and ii is understood that he
came with a BrattlebOTo man in the lat
ter'S car. so it is assumed that he has
not been to any very distant point. He is
all right, no harm having come to him
while he was away.
\ member of The Reformer staff inter
viewed MI. Sargent this forenoon aU his
farm He absolutely declined to give
any information as to where he had been.
but in reply to question he said he did
nor write the letter in q pink envelope
which his sister said contained instruc-
tions to her to sell the stock at the mar
ket prices because he had gotten work IN
cotton mill in Manchester. \. II. He
said he not only didn't write the letter
but knew nothing about it except what
he read in the newspapers. This letter
Miss Sargent said she threw in the wood
box and later burned it.
Selectman W. +. Stellman went to the
Sargent farm this morning, but Mr.. Sar-
gent maintained the same reticence that
he did when interviewed by The Reformer
representative He thought it a great
note that man couldn't go away for
vacation without the whole town get
ting stirred up about it.

Make NO DEFINITE DeclStOH AhIit my
Get Detailed Statement of Negotia-
tiOns from Lloyd George
LONDON. Nov. Q. ASSOCIATED Press
The Ulster cabinet representatives here
unanimously approved today the firm at
titude" which Sir James Craig, the Ulster
premier. has maintained in the interest
of Ulster in his conferences with Prime
Minister Lloyd George over the question
Of an Irish settlement.
This decision was reached after pro-
longed meeting between the Ulster pre-
nier and the members of the cabinet he
had summoned TO London. Sir James
explained the situation in the Irish ne
gotiations so far as he had been made
aware of it in his recent interviews with
Mr. Lloyd George and outlined the course
he had pursued in the circumstances.
No resumption of the formal negotia-
tions between the representatives Of the
British government and the Sim Fem
will be attempted until after the Ulster
difficulty has been overcome.
No definite decision will De taken by
the Ulster representatives until they are
in possession of the detailed written
statement of the negotiations between Mr..
islOEd George ana the Slnn + EN- ueleSdltS
which the British premier has promised.
The Ulster cabinet members adjourned
until II o'clock Thursday morning, when
Mr. Lloyd George hopes to have the state
ment ready.
One stumbling block reported in the
way of the suggested compromise is that
Ulster will object to the proposal that
any all-IreIand parliament with a domin-
ion status-of which Ulster would be a
province with certain independent pow
Prs-shOuld be established on an electoral
basis An ordinary electoral basis would,
of course, place Ulster in a numerical in
feriority to the south.
In the case of the fiscal autonomy pow
ers which were proposed to be given to
an aIl-Ireland parliament, Ulster argues
that she. being a minority, might be sub
iect to adverse tariffs passed against her
by the southern majority or to penal tax
alton directed against her industries. But
it IS claimed that in the composition of
the senate of the all-Irish parliament
there would be a vital safeguard. Here
Ulster would get equal rights in numbers
with the South. besides retaining in her
own co-ordinated legislature her specific
powers given by the home rule act.

The government is relying on the Que
nority. and is prepared to extend that
precedent so that it should be even more
favorable to Ulster.
