GOMPERS TALKS
OF INJUNCTION

Philadelphia, Sept. 4. - Presiden.
Samuel Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor, in Labor day
address, said that the injunction is.
sued against the railroad shopmen
last week was violation of the con-
stitution and the law Of the land He
characterized the action of Attorney
General Daugherty as Exercising :,
power never dreamed of in the HISTORY
of the republic"
The veteran labor chief said the in.
junction was wrong in principle and
in fact and was a confession that the
shopmen have nearly won their
strike. He urged that the unions
furnish money to support the womcr.
and children of the men on strike.
"The men must fight and take care
of themselves, he declared.
President Harding and Attorncy
General Daugherty were criticized b..
Mr.. Gompers for the issuance of the
injunction and he asserted that both
had advocated legislation to bring
about compulsory labor" The party
of Lincoln which freed the slaves,
said Mr.. Gompers, is now trying 20
force compulsory labor upon tie
whites and blacks.
Mr.. Gompers spoke under the aus
pices of the Central Labor union of
Philadelphia. In introducing the labor
leader, John A. Voll, internatione.l Il
president of the Glass Bottle Blowers
union, said that according to Wash
ington dispatches labor leaders have
been admonished to speak carefully or
the "Goblins would get them" He
declared that the open shop is dead
despite the efforts of the administra
tion to rescue i. from oblivion"
Telling his hearers that he came 20
Philadelphia to deliver a message of
hope and encouragement to men and
women who believe in freedom. JUS
tice and democracy, Mr.. Gompers de-
clared that the present Is the time
when organized labor must more
firmly resolve to stand for the decla-
ration of Independence and the COLI
stitutional guarantees of the republic.
"In view of existing conditions and
circumstances" said the veteran la
Dor leader" now is the time that tries
mems souls to overcome tyranny and
injustice and to maintain the funda.
mental principles of America"

ENTOMBED MEN
MAY STILL LIVE

jackson, Calf, Sept. 4.-Jackson
was still thrilled tonight with the
report that explosions had been heard
which apparently were answering
signals from the 46 miners who have
been entombed in the Argonaut mine
for a week, although officials in
charge Of the work declined to dis
cuss the matter and insisted Thurs.
day was the earliest date OH which
the men could be reached.
The list of men was reduced to 46
today by the discovery that one of
the men supposedly under ground in
the Argonaut mine had quit shortly
before the explosion and gone to
work at the Kennedy mine. AS his
name had not been taken off the Ar
gonaut payroll, it was at first be-
'ieved he was entombed.
One of the night crews of rescuers
working in the adjoining Kennedy
mine, was the man who said he heard
five explosions coming from the Ar
gonaut when two signal blasts were
tired on the 3,7OO foot level. The
miners say the sounds could not have
been caused by falling rocks. AL
though Thursday is officially an
nounced as the earliest possible date
for rescue, opinion in jackson is
that it is possible the end Of the
search may come before that date.
At noon today the men working
from the $500 foot level trying to
reach the Argonaut through the old
connecting tunnel between the two
mines, which has been filling with
debris since fire two years ago, had
81 feet left to go in the 60 foot de.
tour they are making around for
nation Of hard green rock.
After completing the detour they
will have 353 feet Of the tunnel to
clear out before starting to make a
75 foot cut through 1900 foot rise
to the 4,2O0 foot level Of the Argo-
naut, where the entombed men can
be reached.

Blease movement among the farmers
Of Charleston county came to light
here tonight, when it was announced
that units of the Minute Men wese be-
ing formed in the farming aectiona
of the county.
This movement was said III the
spokesman of the farmers to bea re-
suit of the growing belief that the
election Of Blease would srnean
Grace rule in this county and s seri-
Gus blow to the Democratic party. The
action of the faction of Mayor John
P. Grace of Charleston in throwing
farmer clubs out of the Democratic
convention here last June was said TO
have caused bitter feeling and the
belief that Grace rule would mean
the disfranchisement of the farmers.
The spokesman for the Minute Men
among the farmers said the oYaaniza-.
tion stood for clean government, hon
est and fair elections, white Demo
cratic party, rule by the MAJORITY law
enforcement and against any eohnec-
tion with the Republican party

searches the hearts Of his audience
