Observation-Disclosures Cool
idge has agreed to an elaborate
inaugural display on March A
when he parades up and down
Pennsylvania avenue like the
king of France who is celebrated
in nursery rhyme. With all his
10000 men, more or less, he will
march up Capitol hill and then
march down again.
Gone are all his cautious principles
of economy and simplicity. They have
served their purpose with the puDnc
for more than month, and ne is
convinced that, after all, the people
are entitled to see their president at
the head of gigantic procession OF
military and civic bodies. He is gen
erous. He yields to their demands.
He will take part in their loyal re-
ioicings at his Inauguration.
A committee of the Washington
chamber of commerce begged him to
consent. They talked to him as a
business man. This economy play
was all right, they argued, but busi-
ness must be considered. Give them
a Roman triumph and they would
have a crowd in town that would scat
ter hundreds of thousands of dollars
among the merchants and landlords
and restaurant people. Every visitor
would remember the event all ms lie,

MERCHANTS WANT BIG SHOW
WHEN CAL TAKES THE OATH

Inauguration Day Visitors Who
Flock to Nations Capital

and would become a promoter OF the
confident spirit of business prosper
ity that is needed these days.
That was the idea, however deli
cately conveyed. Cal saw the point.
So there will be marching clubs from
Connecticut and Indians from New
Mexico and gas magnates from Chi
cago in the parade, with cavalry and
foot-soldiers and marines and the
West Point and Annapolis cadets.
Frank Stearns, the squat Boston
merchant who proceeds almost daily
to the capitol in the white house car
as messenger for Coolidge to the reg
ular politicians, will ride in that pro-
cession. Butler, the national chair
man and senator graduated from the
Murray Crane machine in Massachu
setts, will be there, too, with Dawes.
Inasmuch as the president will have
nothing important to say when he
starts his new term, the insurgents in
the senate see no good reason why
public funds should be wasted in
bringing a crowd to the scene. -Four
years ago similar plan for big
blowout was approved by Harding,
but was promptly ridiculed out of
court by Norris and Borah, assisted
by the Democrats. At that time Ned
McLean-later notorious for his Palm
Beach secret-code messages in con-
nection with the naval oil scandal
was chosen as chairman of the COM
mittee for the inaugural ball. Norris
sizzling remarks on the social signi-
ficance of Mclean killed the show.

LABOR HELLS
THE FLORIDA TURPENTINE
CAMPS
Much Worse Than Chaingang Labor
Which They Left in Vain Hope of
Bettering Their Condition
(By Federated Press)


Tallahassee, Fla.-The death of
Martin Tabert, the young North Da-
kota legionnaire, on a Florida chain
gang in 1923 stirred the people of the
United States to such an extent that
the murderer, a chain-gang whipping
boss, was sent to prison for num-
Der of years. With the tale of this
cruel killing still fresh, the American
public will be still further shocked to
learn of the new outrages about to be
exposed arising from the peonage
system in that state.
Florida county judges, sheriffs, de-
putty sheriffs and several turpentine
operators are under indictment in the
turpentine districts for holding per-
sons in peonage. All will be tried in
the federal courts and several persons
are held as witnesses for the proSecu
ton.
1t is charged by U. S. agents that
the turpentine operators would go to
the chain-gang camps and offer to
pay the fines of petty offenders. The
convicts, overjoyed at the prospect of
release, and not knowing that they
were jumping still deeper into hell,
gladly availed themselves of the of
fer.
On reaching the turpentine camps
far out in the swamps, they found
out their great mistake. They were
not free workers as they had expect
ed, but slaves without pay. Guards
more cruel than those on the chain
gang were over them day and night.
Then came the effort to escape. Far
back in the pine-woods would be heard
the baying of blood-hounds hot on the
trail of the escaping poems. Every
stump farmer, every country store
keeper was on the lookout, ready to
tur the slaves back to their masters.
If caught a runaway was spread
eagled between two trees and the cat
o-nine-tails applied. These whippings
were terrific to show the other slaves,
who were forced to witness the pun
ishment, that it did not pay to try an
escape.
But few did escape and went to
the authorities. The information fin
ally reached the press and such pres
sure was brought to bear that an in
dictment was forced. The federal
government investigated the charges
and found them so serious that no
more information will be given out
before the trials begin.

him in a speech. | know of no one
who would be more uncomfortable
wearing a halo than Sam, and it is
one of the beautiful characteristics
that he has, that he is human being
with human faults and human nobili-
ties.
But there are one or two things
which | am sure you will agree with
me deserve to be recalled and to be
remembered where Sam is concerned.
This is an age, the growing and insidi-
Gus menace of which is the wide
spread cynicism and materialism, and
it is well for US to remember that the
man who for so long has borne the
burden of the leadership of the
American Federation of Labor may
have had his faults, may have been
obliged, in the interests of the great
movement at large, to make certain
internal compromises which are nee
essary in the success of any universal
movement; but it is true-and l am
sure there is no one, including his
most bitter enemies, who can ever say
that any selfish or material consider
alton has ever affected Samuel Comp
erS when it was a question of the es-
sential movement and what it in
wolves.
Two characteristics men admire,
honesty and courage, and Sam has
them both. No one has ever been
able truthfully to accuse him Of hav-
ing run under fire; no one can ever
say that when he has been taken up
by the spirit Of evil on to the noun
tain top and shown all the kingdoms
of the world and promised them if he
would prove untrue to his trust, no
one can ever say that he has not, in
the language of the Scriptures said:
"Get thee behind me, Satan"
We admire and envy him his ply
sical vitality. / am sure the only rea-
son that Ponce de Leon did not find
the spring of eternal youth is be-
cause Sam was not on earth at the
time to show him where he got his
youth and vitality.
But the thing which appears to me
to be most worthy of envy, most
worthy Of emulation, most worthy of
practical application, is the spiritual
idealism which characterizes the Lab
or movement and which Sam has al
ways stood for. l can remember very
vividly the debate which was held in
Carnegie hall between Samuel Comp
ers and the late Governor Henry ].
Allen of Kansas.

distinction between Capital and Lab

what man had and Labor was what
man is. If there could be any more
complete and perfect and detailed ex-
position Of what the labor movement
should be, and what his leadership of
the labor movement has been charac-
terized by, it is summed up in that
sentence: "Capital is what a man has,
Labor is what a man is" And what
a man is, what constitutes a man

in this congress. Aswell is not
a member of the house commit

sion of his fear that dangerous
aliens will overturn the govern

and got scared.
"It is estimated that there are T.
100000 aliens in this country who
have not taken out their first pap

tention of becoming supporting Amer
lean citizens. They sent back to their
various countries last year $400, ,000,-

on pennies. They get all they can

now here would have to make the SO

an alien wished to leave one distric.

to first notify the office where he had

hours of arrival notify the office in
the district to which he moved. This
is the old Russian and German i'm

on the movements of individuals.
In order to give the alien a proper
sense of the eye of the police, he
would be compelled to secure GER

be shown to any officer of the depart
ment of justice, department of labor
or police power of the several states.

1t was mid-afternoon Tuesday when
the funeral train arrived in Washing
ton, where the body was taken in
charge by Mr.. Gompers closest
friends and associates, borne through
the presidents room in the station,
the spacious plaza fronting it was the
forming point for the procession, in
Guiding members of the federation's
executive council and other labor
chiefs and associates arriving on the
train with the body, and taken to
American Federation of Labor head
quarters, where it reposed in state un-
til borne for the last time shortly aft
ter ten O'clock and started on the
way to the last resting place in
Sleepy Hollow cemetery at larry
town, N. Y.
Ritualistic services conducted at
the bier Tuesday night by the Wash
ington Lodge of Elks, followed by the
placing of a wreath on the casket by
members of the Mystic Shrine, were
the only ceremonial features of the
tribute.
The reception hall of the building
selected for the casket's repose is a
plainly, almost barely furnished room,
with sweeping wall space broken only
by an oil portrait of the dead labor
chief and an antler's head given to
him by Wyoming trade unionists.
Upon the arrival of the body in
New York it was taken to the Elks'
club on West 43d street. There it
laid in state until the funeral serv-
ices began at nine o'clock Thursday
morning.

York City, in charge of the services,
which followed the Jewish service and

Several thousand union represen-
tatives from more than As individual
labor groups as far west as Chicago
and St. Louis attended the services.
In addition there were several hun
dred men of prominence representing
the national, state and city govern
ments, the army and navy, the nation
al guard, banking and other circles.
Mr.. Gompers is survived by three
sons and his widow. The sons are:
Albert Gompers of New York; Henry
Gompers of Washington; and Samuel
Gompers, Jr., chief clerk in the de-
partment of labor at Washington
Samuel Gompers was born in the
poverty stricken east end of London
January 27, 1850. He died in San
Antonio, Texas, December 13, 1924
His father, Saul Gompers, had emf
grated to England from Holland. The
boy began his education in the suffer
ings of the working class before he
learned to read. London was filled
with men hunting in vain for work
They starved in the streets. At 10 he
became wage-earner, going with his
father into cigar factory as appren-
tice. Coming to America at 13, he
was one of the charter members pres
ent at the formation of the Interna-
tional Cigarmakers union, year lat
er, and was given card No. /.
For six years he was president OF
his union in New York, and for two
years its secretary. Then for two
years he was president of the state
organization of labor, and five years
president of the state federation OF
labor. AS delegate to the Cigarmak'
ers' International convention in 1877

Samuel Gompers, for, upwards OIL
forty years President Of the Amerl-
can Federation of Labor, is dead. The
end came at San Antonio, Texas, last
Saturday morning at five minutes
past four o'clock.
He was stricken at Mexico City
whittier he had gone with a delega-
ton of representatives Of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, following
his reelection as president at the fed
Grafton convention in Ell Paso, Texas.
He attended the Inauguration of
President Gales Of Mexico and insist
ed upon attending bull fight after
wards, though he was experiencing
trouble with his breathing in the rari-
fled altitude of the Mexican capital
and was so weak he had to be sup
ported by friends as he left the arena.
He lay i'll for three days in his
hotel room before the homeward trip
to the United States and the lower
altitude which it was hoped would re-
lieve his condition. After reaching
the lower altitude nearing the Amer
ican border he gained in strength and
his attendants were hopeful of his re-
covery when he was brought to San
Antonio and taken to hotel.
According to DR.. Lee Rice, San An
tonic specialist, Gompers' heart ac-
ton became weaker and weaker, fail
ing to respond to final emergency
treatment. Three physicians, Doctors
Rice, Hansen and Huss, who took over
the case Friday night from DR.. w. F.
Cockrell, city of Mexico physician,
who made the trip north, were at the
bedside when the end came, as were
also his official associates.
When the doctors announced that
the end had come, labor officials
gathered about the bed and each laid
an affectionate hand on the brow or
the hand Of their leader and each in
turn said Good bye SAM" Each de-
sired to touch the fallen leader, while
/ he still was, in a manner, theirs. 1t
was the end of a long journey for
many of them as Gompers had fought
with them through a life time.
Mr.. Gompers' body laid in state at
the undertaking establishment from
eleven o'clock Saturday morning until
it was taken to the train twelve hours
later for the last long journey east
Local labor leaders acted as pail bear
ers to carry the remains of their be-
loved leader to the station. The May
or of San Antonio issued a proclama-
tion calling upon the city to pay tri-
butte to his memory.
During the entire length of the sac
journey whenever the funeral train
stopped, crowds of sorrowing friends
and admirers were on hand, eager il
possible to take last look upon the
face and say farewell to one whose
entire life had been devoted towards
the uplift and betterment of his fel-
low creatures. At way stations where
no stops were made hundreds gath
cred merely to see the train as il
passed through.
At st. Louis, where a stop of sew
eral hours was made, vast concourse
greeted the train as it pulled into the
union station here. The coffin wa:
taken from it's silk cloaked catafalque
and transferred to another observa
tion coach attached to a Baltimore
and Ohio train for Washington.

Said dear Old Santa Claus go 49,,
And shaking the from his long white WhlsKefs,
There followed length pause
I've come long piece to see you
And | reckon that Pm here
I'll make some little chaps chucke,
And fill older with cheer.
For have brought knick-knack,
And have brought candies,
With rattles for babies,
And kerchiefs for ladies.
And bracelets and rings and many nice things
For papas and mammas tonight.
A snare drum for Robbie for Charlie hoboy
And jamie | brought him kite.
For Jamie came out to old Santa Claus stable
And htched up his reindeer and sleigh,
And since he's so manly, from such a nice family,
III try the dear boy to repay
Your patience I'll worry, SO now must hurry,
And jog right along the road,
For there are so many that haven't penny
I'll visit some poorer abode
I'm getting so old and the weather so cold,
Sometimes l get chilled to the bone.
Jack Frost nipped by toes and tickled my nose,
But let my warm heart quite alone.

CRIMINAL ASSAULT

About midnight last Saturday an
unprotected sixteen-year-old girl
while on her way home from pub
lie dance at Moundbuilders Park was
criminally assaulted by couple of
scoundrels, according to police court
reports appearing in the daily papers.
The girls home is on Jackson street
and the scene of the outrage was near
the old wagon works at Second and
East Church streets.
This should serve as warning to
the young girls and women whose Gus
tom it is to parade around town at
almost any hour late at night or early
in the morning-and their name is le-
gion. In the not very distant past a
lone female on the streets after dark
excited suspicion, to say the least, but
nowadays it has become such COM
mon occurrence that no attention is
paid to it. But it is dangerous
practice, and that so few women are
molested or insulted speaks we'll for
the decency of the city's masculine
nighthawks.
Again it should be a warning
against the habit of young girls
swarming to public dance halls and
associating with any unknown Tom
Dick or Harry with whom they come
in contact, and unless accompanied by
a trusted companion they had much
better remain at home.
Girls, think this over before disas-
ter befalls you, and catastrophy oc-
ours which ends in disgrace and life
long regrets and sorrow.
