of Mr.. Gompers was thrown to the
! support of the Democratic candidate
and against Mr. Coolidge.
"In 1918, following the signing of
the armistice, Mr.. GOmpers declared
that organized labor will resist TO the
uttermOst any attempt to reduce war
time wages or lengthen hours of la
Dor. Just what Mr.. Gompers had in
mind when he used the phrase re
sist to the uttermOst' it would be i'm
possible to assert! But there can be no
doubt whatever what Interpretation
would be put upon it by all that class
of people who believe in the use of
physical force for the settlement Of
disputes, who believe in the methods
advocated by Mr.. Foster, and who per-
petrate such Outrages as the massacre
at Herr1n, Illinois. The American far
mer was compelled to take a reduc-
t1on from wartime prices, American
businessmen took their losses incident
to the passing of wartime conditions,
yet Mr.. GOmpers with a measure of
radicalism which it would be difficult
to surpass urged that organized labor
resist to the uttermost" any attempt
to reduce wages.
when the United States Senate
passed bill providing for the adiudi-
cation of wage disputes on railroads
and then incorporated in the bill a
provision against conspiracies to in
terrupt interstate commerce, but ex-
pressly reserved to every individual
his right to quit, Mr.. Gompers declar-
ed that if that measure became a law,
organized labor would ignore and de-
fly it. Asserting the right of labor un-
ion men to quit, he has never conced-
ed the right of other men to work.
"If it was proper for Mr.. Gompers
to recall the charter of the bOokkeep-
ers' union on account of radicalism,
what action should be taken in order
to curtail the power Of Mr.. Gompers
himself?"

GOMPERS' RADICALISM MUST BE
CURBED

J Mr.. GOmpers having made a great
public display of revoking the charter
| of bOokkeepers' and accountants
union on the ground that it was too
radical, the Republican Publicity AS
sociation thinks it is appropriate to
look back over the recent record and
see some of the incidents which indi-
cate the measure of radicalism of Mr..
Gompers himself.
The Association, through its Presi-
dent, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., saws:
I'm 1911, Mr.. William q. Foster, in a
letter published in an organ of the
l. W. W., urged that organization to
adopt and practice the principles of
revolutionary uniOnism, which means:
to put machinery on strike by disab-
ling 1t; to cut railroad wires; put ce-
ment in switches; run locomotives in
to turn table pits; put emery dust in
machinery bearings; etc. When the at
tention of Mr.. GOmpers was called to
the fact that Foster had been affiliated
with the 1. W. W., Mr.. Gompers adj
mitted that affiliation, but insisted that
Foster had reformed. When Mr.. Fost-
er was leading and managing the
steel strike he had the full backing of
Mr.. Gompers. Only within the past
year did the radicalism of Mr.. Foster
become so public that Mr.. Gompers
found it convenient to sever his reIa-
tions with the I. w. w. leader.
"In 1919, when the organized police
force of the City of Boston went on
strike and left the city at the mercy
of the lawless, that strike had the
moral support of Mr.. Gompers, and
when Governor Coolidge refused to
restore the striking policemen to
their positions, and the Democratic
for governor promised to
order their restoration, the infuenme

their installation.

RIDGELY WOULD
ACCEPT NOMINATION
ITED STATES SENATOR ON DEM
ATTIC TICKET and OUTLINES
The ISSUES.

e following is a report of an in
ew held with Henry Ridgely, Esq.
5lyDover, on the outlook in the cam
Daign in Delaware. The reporter gives
The interview verbatim:
QueStiOn-What do you think are
the chances for Democratic sue
cess in Delaware this year?
AnsWer-That depends entirely up
on the kind of campaign set up
To win, there must be the appeal
both to reason and to conscience;
and it must be sincere. Conditions
fully warrant such an appeal. 1 say
this not as a party man but as a
Delawarean.
The economic issues are vital.
They touch every man and woman
of every sort and condition. The
prosperity of this State is rooted
. in agriculture and industry. Hurt
either, and you hurt Delaware. 1
know how the farmers have been
affected because I own a farm and
run it, not lease it. I know how
business is affected because my
bank connections and my profess
sion have required me to consider
it's situation both from the angle
of the employer and the employee.
The problems that confront us are
big with possibilities for good or
i'll.
There are moral issues that can't
be hid. One need not be a Sunday
school teacher to know the differ
ence between plain right and
wrong.
The call in 1917 and 18 was to
the best that was in us. There was
no doubt about the response then.
Civic life has other dangers than
shot and shell, and the call in 1922
and % is just as emphatic. 1t is
call to oppose the forces of wrong,
of selfishness and greed.
We have entered on one of the
most momentous stages of our his
tory. The need for clear thinking,
sober judgment and high purpose
was never greater.
There must be a fight to win; a
real fight, not a sham battle, a
mere gesture. 1t must be a fight
for Delaware and Delawareans, not
for party and partisans. Corruption
must be stayed or hunted down and
punished, no matter what the
source. There must be no pretense,
no empty promises. The truth must
be told about things as they are.
The men who make the campaign
must be the type the people trust.
There words must ring with truth.
Wherever such a campaign has
been made in other States, it has
met with success. I do not believe
the conscience of Delawareans is
less sensitive, or their intelligence |
less keen than the citizens of those |
States. >
QueStiOn-Would you take the
nomination for U. S. Senator?
AnSWer-If 1 thought it was the |.
real wish of the people, would. |
How could 1 do otherwise unless 1
was afraid of fight or of main
tanning my principles? And I am |
not afraid of either. But 1 will |
make no fight for the nomination.
QueStiOn-Will you please explain
what you mean when you say
that you will make no fight for
the nomination?
Answer mean that I will make
no campaign for the nomination.
Mr.. Ridgley has plainly indicated
willingness to make the contest
the nomination, and he is decided
the most able man in the Demo-
ltic party mentioned for the United
ties SenatOrship.

Operations of the Pittman purchas- ing act has tended to reduce supplies to a greater extent that even those fairly well acquainted with this sub ject are probably aware Of. In look ing at the actual reports the charac- terization. a corner in silver" might be justified. It is the relation of this domestic absorption 10 world demand however, that is supremely important at the present and especially during the next few years.
 The lowest supplies in over fifty years of merchantable, or refined primary silver. about two million ozs. or less were in the hands Of all Uni ted States refiners on July ], 1922.
 Total inventories on hand have shrunk 15 million ounces since May II, 1920. On that date the United States Mint announced 1t stood ready to repurchase, under the Pittman Law of 1918, an aggregate of 20s.00o, 900 ounces at the fixed price of s1 an oz., on presentation by the vendor of af- fidayits from United States mines that they produced, and were paid $1 or more for such quantity of domes- tic silver they delivered since Janu- ary r. 1920, to United States reduc- ton works. Those 2Os.O00,000 ozs. will replace two hundred million ozs. silver in broken United States sil- yer dollars sold to Britain for India in 1918, at $1.01 1-2 per ounce. and eight million ounces in dollars con sumed by the Mint for small coinage in December. 1919. The total dollars thus consumed were $270. 0.000, 900. The shrinkage in stocks is due to the arts and exports taking eight millions ozs. more than we imported of foreign silver. Of domestic silver. the Mint repurchases took to July l this year seven million ounces more than mines production since May, 1920; this ex. cess further reducing stocks on hand.
 Interesting possibilities are latent in this feature; namely. the producers are behind in their sales to the Mint Iby some 100000 ounces. just nov
