Cannot Legislate
Abuses Organized
Labor, Says Gompers

New York, May 4.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American
Federation of Labor told the Look
wood committee today that labor
abuses, dissensions. interruption of
service and jurisdictional controver-
sizes within the ranks OF organized
labor could not be legisIated out of
eXictence as proposed by Samuel I'm
termyer. 1t is impossible to fix the
status of labor by law" he testified.
THE labor movement did not in
culcate man with the germ of as
piration and self expression" said
Mr.. Gompers. "They were placed in
man by nature, and ! may add that
they cannot be isolated and cut out
by surgery; they will not be shut
out. and they cannot be legislated out
by law"
He declared that the courts should
not have the power to declare I'M
constitutionalea any statute passed by
Congress or state egislature-that
the constitution was never intended
to cede such power to the courts.
Congress. and state legislatures, he
declared, were vested by the citizen
to interpret the constitution as they
understood it.
Mr.. Gomper's testimony was
Nsought, MIR. Untcrmyer explained at
the opening of the session. to learn
whether tile American Federation of
Labor had the power, or the willing
ness, to halt labor practices which,
he said, had become Oppressive,
tyrannical and unreasonable"
When he referred to contracts be-
tween bakery employers and Journey
men bakers, where members of
Jewish union received as much as
500 a week for SIX days of 4 IL
hours each. Mr.. Gompers added lab
normal to the list OF adjectives ap-
piled by Mr.. Untermyer. He refused,
|. however, to designate SIS day as
"a ridiculous wage" or the hours as
equally ridiculous"
At the opening Of the afternoon
session. Mr.. Gompers asked permis-
sion to explain his declaration earlier

General Chang
Suffers Losses in
Chinese Fighting

Picking, May 4.-(By A. P.)-Gen-
eral Chang Tso-Lin, commander of
the Fengtien forces, has suffered re-
verses on three points of the battle
received here.
At Aiachang, south of Tientsin,
Changes losses are said to have been
heavy. Along the Hun river at Kuan-
hsien, it is asserted that his troops
have been driven eastward. The rout-
ing of the Manchurian leaders troops

appears to bescomplete.
Chang's troops evacuated the vi
cinity of Changsintien, which lies II
miles southwest of Picking, under a
heavy fire this morning. Observers
saw the forces of General WI Pei Flu,
estimated at 10000, emerge from the
village and drive Chang's army east
ward toward Fengtai.
Changes soldiers then took up posi-
lions near Fentai, which is closed to
Peking. But the WI troops cut off
all the approaches to the city from
the westward. Fighting near Fengtai
continued throughout the morning.
A despatch received from Tinstin
reports that heavy reinforcements for
Chang are being dispatched.

force such regulatory legislation.

doubted they would be, he said. we
would obstruct their passage al

er we could defeat them"

culed-now it is fear" he continued
Now, Mr.. Gompers asserted. labor

mitted he would like to see it con-
troll legislation largely" though not
entirely.
II am as much opposed to the
dictatorship of the proletariat as
am of the princes Of finance" he
added.

Socialists" was the reply.
Mr.. Untermyer. referring to the
bakers scale Of 500 a week for IL
hour day. asked Mr.. Gompers to
specify the point at which wages
might become ridiculous" He de-
clined. saying, "the financiers OF
Wall street earn piles of money
without working for 1t. That Is
ridiculous"
It was his belief, he said. that the
world could easily get along without
the modern type of financier.

Folwartshny Starts
for Homeland

The following concerning John A.
Folwartshny, will be af local inter-
est as it will be recalled he was pres
ent at the Burke trial, although he
did not figure in same very promin-
entity:
John A. Folwarthshny. the we'll
known Portland locksmith, who sail
ed from New York Tuesday for Wis
it with relatives overseas, will have
to travel through three countries to
find the brothers and sisters he left
under one flag 81 years ago.
This is not because the brothers
and sisters have moved since his de-
parture for America. but by reason of
the changes made in the frontiers of
Europe since the World War, includ-
ing the creation of a number of
smaller countries from the large ones
which for so many years held sway
in the eastern part of the continent
When Mr.. Folwartshny came to the
United States all of his relatives were
in Austria, but now he will find a
part Of them in Poland, others in
Czecho-Slovakia and the remainder
in what remains of the old Austrian
empire.
He is accompanied on the trip by
Mrs. Folwartshny, and on the way to
the east they will tarry for time in
Berlin, where Mrs. Folwartshny's
relatives live. Mr.. Tolwartshny plans
to be absent three months, if he finds
conditions favorable for such long
stay, but he announced before his dc
parture that if he should encounter
much suffering among the people Of
the countries he intends to visit. e
will probably cut his visit ~Nort, as it
would be exceedingly painful for hin
to remain there.
Shortly after his arrival in this
country he came to Portland, and he
has lived in this CITY c.-o~ since. He
was first engaged in the machini5ts
trade and then he established himself
in business as a lockmith and gun
smith, having been located on Feder-
al street for a long time. His son,
William F. II. Folwartshny, is asso-
ciated with him in business and will
have charge Of the shop while he IS
away.

Increased in
Indiana Primary

Indianapolis, Ind, May 4-(By A.
P.)-The political comeback of Sen
ator Albert j. Beveridge, who was
among the progressive party lead
ers in 1912, reached a new peak of
strength tonight when his majority
rose to 1857 votes on the receipt of
delayed returns of Tuesdays pri-
mary election, ia which Mr.. Bever-
idge defeated Senator Harry S. New
for the republican nomination of
United States senator at the Novem-
Der election.
Mr.. Beveridgcs majority suffered
a net loss of 1868 votes during the
day, but this was more than offset
tonight when his total vote was 202,-
321, against 1S2,634 for New, with
the only missing precinct in the
state being IS in this city and Terre
Haute.
The democratic senatorial vote was
more incomplete than that of the re-
publican candidates, but former Gov
ernor Samuel M. Ralston maintained
his runaway pace and had 1850
votes with 266 precincts missing.
The nearest Of his four opponents
was DR.. Jesse A. Sanders. whose
platform advocated beer and wine.
Dr. Sanders total was 27,710.
Mr.. Beveridge carried a big ma
j-rity of the counties that last large

also most of the counties that fla
