.LABOR'S POSITION
IN 1924 CAMPAIGN
NOT THIRD PARTY
By Samuel Gompers

With national political campaign
already well under way many eyes
are turned in the direction of Labor's
efforts in that struggle.
Various so-called third party move
ments are under way, none of them
of any particular promise, but all
more or less confusing in their locali-
ty.
Those who turn n these so-called
third party movements proclaim their
profound disgust with what they term
the reactionary policy of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor. They are
impatient. And they fail to see that
their impatience is leading them to
the kind Of haste which makes only
+ :or delay.
The political policy of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor will bear
examination at all times. An exami-
nation at some time may be helpful
to some who do not fully comprehend
its meaning, or who have been be-
guiled by the phrases of the expert
menters and dreamers.
Devoted to Principles
It is the belief of the American
Federation Of Labor that the great
est results are to - achieved in poll
tics by devots>n to principles rather
than to pS>aes and that the surest
way - advance principles is to sup
port those candidates who accept the
principles and to oppose those who re-
ject them.
There is nothing involved about
this belief; nothing complicated about
the practice. And it is the only way
by which Labor can avoid the dis
sensions and sehisms that inevitably
must come from party partisanship.
Parties must take positions on mat
ters that are not in any sense purely
Labor questions. For example, they
must deal with the tariff, matter on
which Labor has taken no position
for great many years for obvious
reasons.
Measures, Not Parties
The American Federation of Labor
is a Labor organization. It's princi-
pal object is to protect and promote
the intvests of the toiling masses.

approved the child labor amendment

Ortho was busy slowing casks low

time the sweet voice went on. 1t
seemed to be trying to persuade
Jacky's George into something he
would not do. He could hear the pair
tramping the deck above him side by

about, one, two, three, four and
roundabout-the voice purling like a

over the rail into his own boat.

Good night and thank e kindly all

They were away. II burst upon
Ortho that he had not seen his hero
that he never would. In a minute
the tall cutter would be fading away
seaward as mysteriously as she had
come and the great King Nick would
be never anything to him but d voice.
He could have cried out with disap-
pointment
Push off" said Jacky's George.
Ortho leant on his oar and pushed
and, as he did SO, somebody sprang
from the cutters rail, landed on the
piled casks behind him as lightly as
a cat, Steadied himself with Il hand
on his shoulder and dropped into the
stern sheets beside the fisherman.

Ortho regarded the fisherman with
added Veneration.
''If a don't come soon all miss tide,
Arson hissed from the other boat.

ped his father. Hold tongue. viii e?
Dost want whole world to hear?"
AnSon subsided.
There was a faint mist clouding the
sea, but overhead rode a splendor of
stars, an illimitable glitter of silver
dust. Nothing was to be heard but
the occasional scrape of sea boots as
one cramped boy or other shifted po-
Sition, the wall of a disturbed sea bird
from the looming rookerics above
them, the everlasting beat of surf on
the Twelve Apostles a mile away to
the southwest and the splash and
sigh of some tired ninth wave heav-
ing itself over the ledgeS below
Black earn.
An hour went by. Ashore a. cock
crowed. and a tisherman's donkey,
tethered high up the clifiside, roared
automatically in reply The boats
swung round as the tide slackened
and made. The night freshened Rip

was blowing. Ortho lay face down
on the stroke thwart and yawned.
Adventure-if adventure there was
to be-was long time coming. He
was getting cold. The rhythmic lift
and droop of the gig, the lisp and
chuCkle of the water voices had IA
hypnotic effect on him. He pillow ed
his cheek on his forcarms and
drowSed, dreamt he was swaying in
gloomy space, disembodied. unsub-
stantial, a wrath dipping and soaring
over bottomleSs void. Clouds rolled
by him big as continents. He saw
the sun and moon below him no big

glittering world strewn across the
dark like grains of sand. He could
not have long lain thus, could not
have fallen fully asleep, for Ansons
first low call set him wide awake.

Why Is Gasoline Up?

GASOLINE is up two cents more a gallon in Seattle
" selling now for Fl cents. It's the second such in
crease since January /.
That twocent increase, made effective nationally

S360O00 to 100000 day is forced consumers
1t means that if maintained year the companies would
collect from s1250OO000 to s50000OOO from those who
have to gasoline
Why this increase?
The investigation by the senate at Washington shows
no justification for it, other than the opportunity to col
lect it. Summer months increase consumption, and the
greater demand enables increased charge altho the
senate committee says it does not justify it.
Supply of gasoline is plentiful Department of COM
