WILL QUIZ GOMPERS
ON LABOR REGULATION
Lockwood Seeks Change In
Housing Situation.

Samuel Gompers. president Of the
American Federation of Labor, will be
the chief witness when the Lockwood
housing committee resumes its public
hearings Friday. Mr.. Gompers, It was
learned yesterday, has accepted an in
vitaticn from the Lockwood committee
to testify. Samuel Untermyer, counsel
to the housing committee, intends to
question Mr.. Gompers concerning what
he believes is reasonable regulation
of labor unions
In several important respects, which
will be developed during the resumed
hearing of the housing committee. Sem
ator Lockwood and Mr.. Untermyer feel
that organized labor needs considerable
revamping in SO far as the constitution
and bylaws of several Of the building
trades unions are concerned.
Mr.. Untermyer last night sent q let
ter to Herbert Hoover, Secretary of
Commerce, In further protest of Mr..
Hoover's interest in trade associations
that Mr.. Untermyer believes are operat-
Ing in violation Of the law.
TT Is because of your defense Of these
practices as legitimate and which I say
are the signposts of illegality that l
regard your we'll intentioned but mis-
guided activities as distinctly harmful"
Mr.. Untermyer wrote.
