Samuel Gompers. president of the
American Federation Of Labor. IN

Let the Issue Conc"
whether by legislation o. not, q
the issue come, if it is to come" Mr.,
.Gompers declared. American labor
will meet the issue on any field OF
activity. no matter what it may be.
The logical deduction. from declara

antagonism TO labor is not to be pred
icated upon legislation, pul upon
power outside legislation.

IT unhesitatingly say that no incl
dents since the close OF the war have
been so fortunate for American bust
ness life and prosperity as the strikes
of the working people during the last
summer" Mr.. Gompers said. He as
serted that the strikes Of the miners.
shopmen and several other trades
checked the downward progress of
wage reductions.
That this checking Of wage reduc-
tions displeased bankers, big bust

astonishing" President Gompers con-
tinued, paying his respects TO those
who assume TO be masters Of all they
survey, and who were checked by the
resistance of the working people of
