In the eulogy that followed, DR..
Wise said:
Among all the characterizations
of Samuel Gompers 1 have come
upon, none is more fitting than
: frontiersman.' For Samuel Gompers
was pioneer, rugged rather than
suave, firm rather than conventional.
Pioneer was he in the military sense,
for his was the militant mood, and
throughout his life he was a battler.
As a pioneer Gompers fought for
great cause. not for larger wage or
added comfort, but for a freer and
fuller life for the toilers of the Ma
tion-which could not be without
these instrum entalities of life and
freedom.
He had all the ruggedness and
moderation of the pioneer, His was
the moderation of the highest cour-
age, rather than the immoderateness
of the lower daring. Iconoclast, he
seemed to those Bourbons who in
every generation contest the forward
march of the workers to the larger
life. Not immoderate he, whose was
the moderation of craftsmanship,
which is not irreconcilable. with the
finest courage and the noblest dar-
ing.
