LABOR LEADER
TURNS ATTACK
ON DEMOCRATS
Gompers to DenounCe Davis
Bryan Ticket-Charge
Workers ForSaken.

By United Press
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.. Aug. g.
Wrath of labor today turned on the
Democrats.
Samuel Gompers, chief of the
American Federation of Labor, COM
posed a strong denunciation of the
Davis Bryan ticket and the Demo
cratic platform. charging directly
that the Democrats have turned
their back on the workers.
It will be forwarded as an answer
to William B. Wilson of the Demo
cratic national campaign committee.
whose plea for postponement of &C
ton indorsing La Toilette was
scorned by the Gompers executive
committee.
Platform Scored
Gompers will set forth the rea-
sons why labor turned from its for
mer political friends. the Democrats,
TO align itself in a non-partisan
way with the independent La Fol-
1ette ticket.
He will say, the United Press is
informed. that he first decided to
break away when the Democratic
platform was announced-a plat
form (which pledges the party to
regulate hours and conditions of all
labor, a proposal against which the
federation has struggled throughout
fits whole history. 1t is silent upon
the court injunction issue and plays
into the hands Of enemies of labor
on the issue of the railroad labor.
Selection of John w. Davis whose
law firm acted>for big Wall Street
bankers, including J. P. Morgan and
Company, only cemented the break.
Gompers will tell Wilson.
At the time when the Democratic
party returns to the principles for
which labor has fought. then and
not until then. will labor return to
its support. he will say.
Aside from this political question.
a new charge was taken up by the
council when II resumed session to-
day. Librarians filed a report
maintaining public libraries through
out the country are dominated by
capitalistic influences who keep labor
literature from their shelves.
Library Control
The charge is especially directed
against the Carnegie Foundation IL
braries, which are said to be con-
troIled mot by the municipalities TO
which they have been given. but by
boards of trustees who are in no
sense responsible to the people
There is rapidly coming into be-
ing a system which only books ap-
proved in a certain manner may be
placed on foundation library shelves
and that amounts to censorship and
IS so intended" the report says.
Mathew Well. acting chairman
for Gompers. declared the federation
would investigate the charges fully.
