pressing his deep sympathy with her
bereavement
His letter follows.
My dear Mrs Gompcrs.
at IS with great regret that have
heard Of your bereavement ana
want to express to you nay deep
sympathy n your sorrow. Mr.. Com
pers' whole life was devoted to the
interests OF organized labor. until
his name had become almost synono-
NOUS with the cause which he repre-
scented. As the founder ana head
of a great organization, no man has
had a wider influence In the shap-
ing of tine policy Of the wage carners
Of the Nation and his loss VIII long
he felt by his associates, not only
at home, but abroad.
Samuel Gompers. the controlling
spirit Of organized labor in the
United States. was born In the slum
quarter Of London. Jan. 81. 1850.
He came to America at the age OF
10 and was a naturalized American
citizen when he reached q.
He was an apprentice in the cigar
trade when he crossed the ocean.
and continued I'm the tobacco work
being made president OF the Interna-
tional Cigar Makers Union soon aft
or Joining. from which Office he was
never removed.
When the American Federation Of
Labor was organized in 1891. he was
offered the presidency, but declined.
After serving a year as vice preal-
dent. he assumed full command IN
I'll 1924, when for a year he yielded
to John Mcbride, representing the
coal miners. He again was elected
TO the office, which incumbency he
held until his death. The position
at first paid no salary. but allowed
him expenses. However. in 1896,
when the federation was reOrgan-
tied, Gompers was given a $4,000
salary yearly.
Gompers was credited with set
Ting more strikes than any other
labor man in history. He served on
many civic and national committees.
Gompers was married to Sophia
Julian. an English girl who came
to this country about the same time
he did She died In March. 1920.

The labor chief had four children,
three boys and a girl.
The Republican nomination for
Congress, which was equivalent to
election in the district in which he
resided IN New York. was offered to
him several times. but he refused
to be swerved from his labor work.
When he changed physicians in
1908 his new doctors made a thor
Ough examination. discovering that
the labor chief could not live more
than year. Gompers called in his
Oldest son, Samuel, Jr.. and gave
him orders To carry on. It was not
