SCORES CHAMBERS
NONUNION PROJECT
GOmpers Attacks Proposal as
Aimed at Heart of
Labor.

The purported decision OF the
United States Chamber o. Commerce
to employ only non-union workmen
in building the chambers new ma
tional headquarters here, was sharp
ly attacked tonight by Samuel
Gompers, president Of the American
Federation of Labor.
Gompers warned that the :edera-
ton of labor will use every legi-
innate effort to see that union men
are employed to build the structure"
The United States Chamber of
Commerce. Gompers charged. is
organized to protect and promote
the interests of capitalists, employ
ers and exploiters" and is seeking
the ruin of the organized labor
movement.
THE chamber took its position
in regard to the new headquarters
because il is opposed to the trade
union movement and any statement
to the contrary is pure sophistry.
The United States Chamber Of Com
merce in pursuance % its present
attitude toward workers is animat-
ed by a desire to render the workers
as nearly helpless as possible, in
order that they may be more easily
exploited and less able to command
proper wages and hours of labor.
There is honorable and legitimate
work for the United States Cham
ber of Commerce. but that work
does not lie in the direction of de-
stroying the all too ~meager stand
ards of living OF Nthe working
people."

year-old wife will celebrate their
fiftieth wedding anniversary today.
Mr.. whitney, native born

screeching fivvers and fashy dudes
did not eclipse the other natural
beauties of the Capital. Mr.. Whit
ney rode horseback on our prin-
cipal streets
There Is no wireless apparatus
on the roof of 236 Thirteenth street,
but perhaps the proverbial 'litcSe
bird" conveyed the Information to
Mr. Whitney that his son. Stephen
whitney. jr., and his great-grand-
daughter. Anna whitney, have
planned a surprise party for the
old couple today.
Many years ago Whitney was
touched with the spirit Of West
ward Ho. He left for Nebraska
at the age Of 81 and was rewarded
soon after his arrival in the West
by meeting Miss Mary Howard
who later became Mrs. whitney.
At the outbreak of the civil wal
he came East and enlisted at Al
bany. At the close OF the war he
settled in Washington. where he
was employed in the Bureau OF
Pensions for over forty years.
Rag time" as the old veteran
calls the present daylight saving
time in Washington. bothers him
more than anything else. He said
he would soon have to throw away
his watch to avoid confusion.
