Addressing the convention Mr..
Gompers said that organized labor

ion. The position taken by the mil
road presidents on the point of senior
ity looked like a stand taken not on
one of the issues of the strike, but
rather on something that came after
the strike.
To refuse any degree whatever of
their former seniority to the strikers
looked like an effort to punish the strik-
ers for the act of striking. 1t is true
the railroad executives expressed it in
another way. They said they wanted
to give preferred seniority to the loyal
workers who did not strike and to the
strike-breakers as a reward for loyal
ity.
Reward or Punishment
1t is a reward or punishment pure
ly, according to the way you look st it.
If the railroad presidents were not
eager to punish the strikers for the
act of striking and merely wished to
reward those who had been loyal they
could give the reward in the shape of
increased pension standing, or in any
one of many other ways.
From the pciav OF the view of those
in Washington, who have been famil
lar with the situation this point OF
seniority has been accomplished
There are branches of railroad work
in which seniority counts much

DUBLIN, Aug. 2.-The publicity de-

opponent for the Democratic nomina-
tion for governor by almost 5000 votes
early today with unofficial returns
from yesterdays state wide primary

r. H. Wilson, superintendent of the
state board of education, reputed to

nearly 5000 votes behind Wilson.
John Fields, farm paper editor of
Oklahoma City, who will face the
Democratic gubernatorial nominee in
November, has virtually no opposition
from his Republican opponent George
Healy. Fields was leading more than
seven to one on the returns brought in.
