"TAJNTED WITH BLUFF"
 SAYS SAMUEL GOMPERS

WASHINGTON, July 6.-Promises made by Judge E. II. Gary and other heads of the steel industry to Presi- dent Harding to eliminate the r. ture date were declared today by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, to be "tainted with bluff and insincerity."
 II advise steel workers not to eX- peet too much as result or the eX- change of cordialities between the President and Judge Gary," MT. Gompers' statement said.
 Would Cut Wages.
 "The President suggested to MT. Gary that the 12-hour day might be abolished when there is a sur plus of labor available' and MT. Gary put those words in quotation marks in his response and agrees with the grace and tact of born diplomat that of course, it shall be as the President wishes.
 "'When there is surplus of la bor available the judge doubtless thinks wages can be cut and he doubtless hopes this surplus may be hastened by wide open immigration. Cater To Profits.
 "The whole thing is tainted with bluff and insincerity. The steel trust will cater first to profits and 1t will not do anythinb that has even the possibility of jeopardizing profits until driven to it either by irresistible public opinion or force among the steel workers.
 "The one sure way of ending the 12-hour day in the steel mills is for the steel workers. through organi- zation, to refuse to remain slaves to the steel trust. The Gary when let ter is travesty, and a particularly cruel one. That the President should consider 1t worth giving to the pub lie as. a serious promise is amazing.
