be easy enough for Congress to pass
new laws and regulations changing
the rates for carrying such matter. so
that tnat class can pay its way, and

only as much as is absolutely neces-

the American Federation of Labor, to
be tainted with bluff and insincer-
Referring to the letters on the sub
Ject made public yesterday by Presi-
dent Harding at Tacoma. Mr.. Gompers
expressed surprise that the President I
should consider 1t worth giving to
the public"
Not Expecting Too Much.
Il advise steel workers not to ex-
pect too much as a result of the ex-
change of cordialities between the
President and Judge Gary" Mr.. Com
suggested to Mr.. Gary that the
twelve-hour day might be abolished
when there Is a surplus of labor
available and Mr.. Gary puts those
words in quotation marks in his re-
sponse and agrees with the grace and
tact of a born diplomat that Of
course 1T shall be as the President
wishes.
"'When there is a surplus of labor
available the judge doubtless thinks
hopes this surplus may be hastened
by Wideopen immigration.
Tainted with Blum.
The whole thing Is tainted with bluff
and insincerity. The steel trust will
cater first to profits and 1t will not
do anything that will even hold the
possibility of jeopardizing profits
until driven to it either by irresisti-
Bile public opinion or the force Of
organization among the steel work.
erS.
The one sure way of ending the
twelve-hour day in the steel mills Is
for the steel workers, through or
ganizatton. to refuse to remain
slaves to the steel trust. The Gary
when letter Is a travesty and a par
ticularly cruel one. That the Presi-
dent should consider 1t worth giving
to the public as a serious promise is
amazing"
