Organized Labor Has Reason
To Shake It's Own Hand This
labor Day Says Sam Genpers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2T-Organized
labor groups have every reason to con-
gra tulate their memberships with the
coming of Labor Day in 1922, because
Of the Industrial and political solidarity
of the working people," because Of the
failure of employers "to bring about
wage reductions" and because of deter
mination within themselves to push for
ward, Samuel Gompers, president OF the
American Federation of Labor. declared
in an address published in the forth
coming issue of the American Fedora
ZIONIST. There has been a general 're-
sistance of American labor to the pro-
gram of wage reduction and union
smashing" and it has been successful,
he asserted.
"It is safe to say that the full volume
of wage reductions since the armistice,
if averaged up and spread over the
working population, would amount to less
than FIVE percent Mr.. Gompers said.
adding that this is a stark defeat for
employers"
'tIt is a magnificent victory for the
workers" he continued. There are no
terms too strong to describe the i'm
portance of this great victory for labor.
1t is a victory in the celebration of
which every useful citizen can join be-
cause the purpose of those employers
who sought to reduce wages was not to
reduce the final cost of commodities, not
so that there might be large volume
of commodities produced; but it was so
that there might be a larger profit in
the production of commodities lower
wage for the worker and relatively
higher cost to the consumer"

HEAD or COAL FIRM

Warmer Meets Senator Pepper
to Discuss Methods of End
ing Hard Coal Trouble.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 27.-Samuel D.
Warriner. president of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company and chairman
of the Anthracite operators policies
committee, arrived here tonight from his
summer home in Montrose Pa. Stimuli
taneously it was learned that United
States Senator Pepper of Pennsylvania,
had come from Devon, Pa, to meet the
spokesman of the employees to discuss
methods of bringing peace in the hard
coal regions.
The meeting place was kept secret and
early tonight there seemed to. be little
likelihood of an official statement being
issued before tomorrow at all, concerning
the matters considered. However, 1t was
understood that the question of govern
ment seizurfe of the mines would be dis
cussed, although Senator Pepper has
been described as opposed to any such
action.
Meanwhile John L. Lewis ad Philip ].
Murray, president and vice president re-
spectively OF the United Mine Workers
remained in Philadelphia over Sunday
and Will stay through tomorrow accord
ing to the latter. In some quarters the
optimistic view was that they had tar

tween operators and miners, broken off
abruptly last week when the miners fiat
Iy refused to consider arbitration in any
form.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-Investigation
