last two years, scores of attorneys

every trade and profession have come
to the aid Of comrades not in a position

done so times without number, in &C.

which reads: To consecratc and sane

The Legion tries to be square. to

prosper, it has to preach it's doctrines

Legion and the A. F. of L. had many things in common and that any such doings as reported in Bridgeport or anywhere else would be promptly stopped.
 Asked about the One Big Union, MT. Gompers stated it is too insig nifcant for Labor to bother with" It IS all the same thing as the rest of the Bolshevist and radical movements to disrupt the Federation. If the people engineering the scheme are not being paid by Big Business for doing so, they're damned fools They can get it. It is simply an effort to dis tract attention to what Is going on in the business world and will soon blow up, he concluded.
 That ended the conference forum and MT, Gompers retired with some of the officers to his rooms where he rested up until about o'clock when accompanied by Mrs. Gompers and his secretary, he departed for Boston where he addressed another large conference on Monday.
 MT. Gompers arrived here Saturday afternoon and was met by President P. F. O'Meara and Secretary I. M. Ornburn of the Connecticut Fedora ton of Labor and escorted to quart CTS at the Garde After a brief rest he became the dinner gust of Col N. C. Osborn of the Journal Courier at the Graduates Club where during the evening he addressed a gathering of about 300 business and professional and manufacturing men. He DOT trayed Labor's ideals in a manner that many expressed later to have been revelation to them and was enthusiastically received He spoke for about an hour, laying great stress on the injustice being done in the use of the injunction. He afterward was given a reception during which he met personally great many of those present. Colonel Osburn presided i'll the absence from the city of President H. w. Ring of the club. Those ar the dinner given in MT. Gompers' honor were: George Dudley Seymour, first vice-president of the club; Prof John C. Tracey of the entertainment committee; Patrick F. O'Meara, presi- dent of the Connecticut Federation of Labor; Ira M. Ornburn, president of the Trades Council; MT. Oyster, MT. Gompers' private secretary, and Major Isaac Bromley of Groton

 The true wealth of a nation Is in it's production of necessary and use ful things and the volume of this out put is highly important measure of the degree of well-being that main tains there Tn this country such production is running at about 65 per cent. of normal. It has been in creasing since last July and it con- tinues to show slow improvement"
 Ii must be remembered that "nor- nal" employment is not 100 per cent. employment Therefore much more than 35 per cent. of workers are now unemployed if unemployment is S per cent. of normal.

secure for the worker a sniff at a glass of beer while the rich man is listening to the tinkle of the ice in his highball glass"
 Delegate Preist of the Brotherhood of Engineers asked the attitude of the Federation on the non-partisan party recently inaugurated by the railroad brotherhoods. Mr. Gompers answer ed that the Federation would not fol- low any personal movement but must remain independent and stick to the policy of electing it's friends and de- feating its enemies and to go to the limit in the latter. Labor now has I7 men in Congress and can get many more by following out the lines draft ed whereby If 1t is attempted to name ticket of its own 1t would so divide the vote that Labor might even lose what it has now, every one of the Iz being 100 per cent. loyal to the inter- est of the worker and the country.
 Asked about the Farm Bloc in Congress, MT. Gompers declared it is not a farmers bloc at all but combination of lawyers and represen- tatlves of business interests who take it upon themselves to dictate to and then speak for the farmers. There is not a farmer among them, he said, that is real mud farmer" and there fore Labor should concern itself very little about the Farm Bloc as 1t couldn't do any harm to Labor. They're a bunch of financial farm CTS" solely and as such can be prop erly labelled by the worker
 Questions of securing closer CO., operation among the building trades were discussed and MT. Gompers counseled a closer attention to the local central bodies, whereby more personal interest would be created and the desired afiliation brought about
 The soldiers bonus proposition was also taken up and MT. Gompers asked how it would affect labor and in on either but/to help, he answered. These men served their country willingly, threw up their jobs and gave their lives many of them. Hun dreds of thousands were maimed while yet other hundreds of thous- ands found that their patriotic em- ployers who had sent them off to fight for them and the world with all sorts of promises for their return, had turned their backs on them and they had no jobs.
 These men should be compensated in some substantial way. They should be given a new start in life. If the cash bonus was paid, it would give these millions of men money to get that start, put millions into circula- ton at once, help business thereby and should be favored by all laboring men,"
 Delegates from Bridgeport report ed that the American Legion post there was being used as an employ ment bureau and aiding in keeping skilled men out of employment by inducing it's members and others to accept jobs some as low as 20 cents an hour. MT. Gompers emphatically demanded details of any such doings, adding that he had it on the word of National Commander MacNider and Vice Commander Berry, president of the Pressmen's Union, that the

York, the statistical department of the Cleveland Trust Co. informs clients through it's business bulletin that industrial production of staple necessities" is 6 per cent. of normal throughout the country.
 This means that employment in those industries is about 6 per cent. of normal, an astonishingly low figure, justifying high estimates of the number of unemployed.
 The Cleveland Trust CO. Bulletin says; staple necessities during 1921 ap- pears to have averaged about GA per cent. of normal. At the beginning of the year, in January, 1t amounted to "A per cent. of the theoretical nor mal From this figure it fell in July to an extreme low of only 57 per cent From that point there was a recovery to about 6 per cent. by October, and that is the level at which production was still going on during the first month of 1922.
 These figures show a surprisingly low ebb of business activity, for 1t IS commonly held by economists that even in periods of severe depression general business goes forward at about 85 per cent. of it's normal vol ume. It is probable, however, that this new compilation reveals the pre- vailing condition of general business with considerable accuracy. If there were available trustworthy measures of retail and wholesale trade and the general volume of employment, their inclusion would increase the figures and help make better showing, but

1000 CHILDREN UNDER
ARREST EACH YEAR
Department of Labor Makes Public Re
port on Delinquent Children and
Federal Courts

WASHINGTON. July 12.-Approxi-
mately LOCO children under Is years
of age are arrested in the United States
each year for violations of federal laws,
Secretary of Labor Davis announced to-
day in making public a report dealing
with the procedure of federal courts and
delinquent children, prepared by the chill
dren's bureau.
TIE report presents the results of a
study of methods Of dealing with children
who have violated postal and other fed
eral laws. The nostoffice department and
the department of justice assisted the
labor department in its Investigations by
making available their records. The
study showed 1,145 children arrested
during a two year period for violating
postal laws and 211 arrested for other
federal offenseS.
a measure authorizingf federal pTosecur
ton. the report said, was passed by con
gress in 1917 but was not signed by the
president \ similar bill is pending in
the present congress, and the proposed
legislation. the report suggested, would
enable the United States courts to deal
much more effectively with childrenil
eases. 1t was probable, the report
pointed out, that the simplest, most
practicable, and least expensive plan for
the proper handling of children's cases
involving violation of federal laws would
be the develoment of a definite system
of reference to state Juvenile courts al
least in certain types of cases.
