G0MPERS SEES
LABOR VICTORY
IN VOTE RESULTS

Washington, d. c, Nov. S.-The re.
suits of yesterdays election are =
magnificent vindieation Of every con.
tention made By the American Fedora.
ton of Labor Samuel GomnerS.
president Of the American Federation
Of Labor, declared in a statement
issued today.
Principles have Won a wonderful
victory he said. every man and
woman in our country who has AT
heart the welfare Of our republic and
the progress Of our people has cause
for qualification and elation.
Those who try to explain away the
result on partisan grounds ard 10
deny its plain implications are delud.
ing themselves and attempting 10 de-
lude the people. But the people
showed by their votes that delusion
does not govern them this year.
"One after another in almost reg
ular order the stalwart old defenders
of privilege, greed, oppression. and
reaction went down in defeat Some
of the place holders who have been
most useful to special and reaction
airy interests have been thrown out Of
office.
THE important and interesting
thing is not that SO many offices
changed hands; it is the character of
the changes that makes the result SO
encouraging and SO important.
"fhe election amounts To a great
verdict. Once again the people have
directed that their affairs be admin
istefed in the interest of the common
welfare and in accord with the free
dom, the progress, the human justice
guaranteed by the constitution.
This election verdict is no mel
ifluouce phraseology.' 1t is stern
command.
Compulsory labor, injunctions, the
overriding of law and constitution,
the railroad labor board, the sales tax,
the ship subsidy--these were things
typifying the general concept that
was repudiated and condemned so
foreefully and overwhelmingly yester-
day"

GARY WANTS LAW
TO PERMIT ALIENS
TO FLOOD COUNTRY

BY International Labor News Service.
Washington, d. c.. Nov n-~91udge
Gary, chairman of the Finance Conn
miltee Of the United States Steel
Corporation, has declared that the i'm.
migration laws must be changed so aa
to permit the influx of a larger vol
ume of what the Steel Trust calls
"eemmon labor
Judge Gary'a declaration. made at
the recent meeting Of the Iron and
Steel Institute, puts the final seal of
Steel Trust approval aud deteflnina-
ton upon the campaign to repeal the
present law restricting immigration.
This campaign has been gathering
force ever since employment Stats.
tics began to ahow decrease In un.
employment
In his address Judge Gary said
that, lust at this time II IL generally
recognized there Ii n shortage of la
Dor although now, and generally,
there are considerable numbers of
idle men who do not ask Tor or de.

shortage" Judge Gary placed the
blame on the pfeaent laws and tndi-
Gated remedy which IL sought by
powerful employers and organizations
Of employers,
aThe ahoringe of labor" he said,
however, has come principally ~ the
result of the percentage immigration
laws which have limited the number
OF wofkinen who would now come to
this country IL not prevented b" the
laws referred to. After some expert
anre these laws are now believed by
large numbers TO be unreasonable
These laws ought TO be promptly
changed
Judge Gary did not point out in
his address that those countries In
which wage rates more nearly hp.
pfoaeh the wages paid In the United
States have not furnished even the
quota OF immigrants allowed to them
under the present J per cent restfic-
ton law. Those countries that have
filed theli quota are the countries
in which wage rates are exceedingly
low and where employment ik most
prerauona. This Is an indication that
liberalization of the law would
merely result In an unrestricted in
ilux af workers from the low wage
countries oF southern Europe. There
would be no increase In immigration
from lhoae countries where wages
and general standards of living more
nearly approach the wages and stand
ards OF The United States.
Judge 6iary in his address made
plea for Quality immigration
instead Of "quantity" immigra
tom Jhr fact, however, that he
aud hislrolleagues are seeking the
immigration Of greater numbers
of workers and that these pros
pectivp Immigrants must come
from low wage countries Is COM
plete proof that his plea for
Equality" Is but concession to
public opinion cloaking his real
desirc for Quantity

conservative bot progressive.
