Sketch of Life

Samuel Gompers, dean of American
labor leaders," was born in London.
Eng. Jan. 81, 1850, son of cigar
maker and the eldest OF eight chill
dren. With the aid OF his mother, a
woman of excellent education, he be-
gan his studies early. and from the
age OF & to 10 had the advantage of
school education.
In his 10th year he was apprentice
ed to a shoemaker, but disliking the
work learned cigarmaking. and for
four years was a regular attendant
at an evening school. At the age of
Is he accompanied his relatives to
the United States and found a job
as cigarmaker in New York city.
Began in 1854
His first connection with the labor
movement began in 1864, when he
helped to organize the Cigarmakers
International Union. He served as
president and secretary OF the union
for six years and had since continued
his connection with the organization
as one of it's officers. While editing
the local paper of the Cigarmakers'
Union, the picket" he became in
terested in a movement for gather
ing the local labor organizations,
while preserving their autonomy. in
to national organization. Under
his leadership the Cigarmakers' I'm
ion fought the Knights of Labor on
this principle. He served as presi-
dent of the New York State Fedora
ton OF Labor for two years, and in
1881 became one of the founders of
the American Federation Of Labor:
he was also its first president, and
served for the first Ave years with
out compensation.
Offers of political position were
frequently made to Mr.. Gompers but
he declined them all on the ground
that he could be of more service to
the cause of labor by holding him
self aloof from political affiliation
than by joining any of the parties.
Active for Treaty
He was meanwhile active in the
agitation for a treaty between the
United States and Great Britain
which would provide for the arbi-
tration of disputes between the two
countries. In 1893 he served as a
delegate to the national conference
called at Saratago. n. Y, to discuss
ways and means of meeting condi-
tons growing out Of the Spanish
American war: he was also q MEM

ton of the National, Civic Fedora
ton. formed to bring about better
relations between capital and labor.
He represented labor in the fedora
ton and served as It's vice presi-
dent.
In 1908 Mr.. Gompers was sentenced
to q years Imprisonment on account
OF defying a court order in connect
ion with the Bucks stove case. which
denied the constitutional rights OF

and believed in school children being
taught to abhor war.
