in the week. His last words were
spoken to his nurse about an hour
before he died. Realizing that he was
losing the battle so stubbornly fought,
ne turned to her and whispered:
''Nurse, this the end. God bless our
American institutions. May they grow
better day by bay"
Shortly before he lapsed into the un
consciousness which presaged the end,
Mr.. Gompers gave a few simple dl-
rections for his funeral and babe a few
lifelong friends farewell.
Saturday night the body of the labor
chieftain, sleeping in a massive bronze
casket similar to that in which Presi-
dent Harding was laid to rest, was
started on its long journey to the ma
lions capital, accompanied by his
friends and associates. There were no
services at the mortuary where the
body reposed Saturday.
The government, whose hands he
had upheld in peace and in war, step
ped In to claim the body for the whole
American people and through the Unit
ed States army, the American people
officially took back their dead. His
last words were: "God bless our Amer
lean Institutions" and one of those in
situations, the United States army
claimed that he belonged to them as
much as to anybody. Soldiers from
Fort Sam Houston were assigned to
the escort. Not only labor possessed
him, they said, but the country also.

late president of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor, drew TO himself
throughout the day the men of labor
and the men of capital, those who work
in field and factory, those who knew
him only as q name and those who
knew him as q loved and loving COM
panion. All filed past the massive cof-
fin, which was thanked by banks of
flowers, and draped with the Ameri-
can flag. AS the hour approached for
the start of the cortege to the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas Railroad sta
tfon, streets along the line of march
were roped off, while the city, which
ere this has seen the tramp OF many
feet, passed in its fretful rush to cling
for a suspended moment viewing his
tory. The city was reluctant to let
him go.
The cosmopolitan metropolis of the
Alamo, with its soldiers, its sojourners,
from all states and its adopted sons
from the land below the border, ceased
their Saturday night diversions to give
a m%any-voiced adieu to the gallant
gentleman who could not prolong his
stay though he wished it nightly.
Members of the executive council of
the federation were sent Geographic
