GOMPERS REPLIES
TO STATEMENTS OF
ATTORNEY GENERAL
Characterizes Speech as Flam.
bOyant TRADE and Display
of Heated Temper.

WASHINGTON, oct. 22.-(By A.
P.-Samuel Gompers. president of
the American Federation Of Labor
declared in a statement today that
Atty Gen. Daughertys defense al
Canton Ohio. last night of the in
junction in the railroad shopmen's
strike was a "hamboyant TRADE
which makes it fitting to classify
responsible agitators'." The attorney
generals address, the labor leader
asserted, was marked by partisan
bias, untruth. exaggerated state
ment and a display of heated temp
er."
Mr.. Baugherty's Characterization
of the strike and of the strikers is SO
filled with hatred. exaggeration and
calumny that every thinking person
will understand it for what it is. II
Mr.. Gompers declared. The of
fetal who presides over the depart
ment OF justice. is supposed to be
interested in the even handed dis
pensing of justice, and ne is sup
posed to be Interested only in ar
impartial examination of the truth
The attorney general made a num-
Der OF statements, Mr.. GOmpers con-
tinued. which were absolute false
hoods" adding that ne had "delib-
erately neglected TO say that the
workers agreed to accept the pro
posal submitted by the president,
and dismissed the insulting refusa
of the railway members" with a
totally inadequate description" OF
their conduct. This he said. was
about as far removed from an i'm
partial presentation OF the facts as
anything could well be"
"SublimeIy Ridiculous"
The attorney general. Mr.. Comp
ers declared, rose TO the heights OF
the ridiculous. He became sublime
" ridiculous"
The more than 1900 afidavits
concerning anarchy bordering or
civil war" mentioned by Mr.. Daugh-
erty were described by the fedora
ton head as having been "fshed out
of sewers among strikebreakers and
paid agents Of the most desperate
character
The address, Mr.. Gompers told
newspapermen, would increase the

projected 400 percent stock dividend
Of the Standard Oil company Of New

The charge was made in a letter
to Mr.. Melon made public by the
Wisconsin representative The COM
munication was n reply to a letter
from Mr. Mellon in response to
one written by the Wisconsin rep
resentative. The communication was

end and urging that the penalty pro

I posed by the New Jersey oil com
