GOMPERS WILL
NOT LEAD FIGHT
Against American Federation
of Labor Endorsing La
Toilette for President

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. (By The
Associated Press) samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor. declared today af-
ter the initial session of the execu-
tive council of that organization that
he "has not, is not and will not lead
any opposition to the LaFollette cam
didacy that may arise before the
council"
There have been Impressions in
news dispatches that l am leading
the opposition to a proposed endorse
ment of the LaFollette-W Wheeler
ticket by the American Federation of
Labor" said Mr.. Gompers. with
out saying whether there is a di-
vision of opinion among members
of the council on this question l want
it known that l am not and will not
lead opposition to Mr.. LaFollette."
Although this political question
had been scheduled for early dis
session opening day, the absence of
Matthew Woll, vice president, who
Is expected this afternoon, caused
the council to relegate politics to a
later place on the program. When
act as chairman of the council and
as spok esman for Mr.. Gompers, who
is recuperating from a recent serious
illness and will remain away from
the strife of the council session as
much as possible.
Three alternatives lay before the
council in drafting its policy toward
the political question. 1t may pledge
q O..
ment in active support of his candt-
dacy; and may go on record with an
expression of APPROVAL of the plat
form and candidates of the confer
ence for progressive political action.
Or 1t may do as Mr. Gompers de-
clares 1t Will do--refrain from stat
ing preference in conference for any
of the presidential tickets thus
maintaining the conditionally neu-
tral attitude which has been the
formal political policy of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor since Its
organization.
Mr.. Gompers made. 1t plain that
he wants the vest group of organ
ized workers which he dominates 20
adhere to the hands of policy.
His attitude toward the question
Is that the American Federation of
Labor should pin its hopes on being
partisan to the principles and not TO
political organization" In the cam
paign of 1924 he would pursue the
policy of the American Federation
of Labor in 1920 when he says, 1--WE
supported conditions representing
four political parties"
Among the chiefs of various ma
tional and international unions who
compose the executive council there
are ample sentiments. as the con-
ference began today. that the Com
pers ciew was not unanimous in the
group over which he presided.

DONNELLY HAS
! ENTERED RACE
For u. S. Senator on Demo-
cratic Ticket-0pposition
Is Not Expected

TRENTON, Aug. 1:-With the
endorsement of Mayor Hague, DEM
ocratic national committeeman,
Trenton today formally announced
his intention to become a candidate
for the Democratic nomination for
Senator Edge.
Announcement of the Donnelly
candidacy is interpreted as re-affirm-
ing the decision of Governor Silzer
not to enter the primaries in Sep
tembel 1t Is also believed to set at
rest rumors that William B. Gourley
of Clifton, former Democratic state
chairman, would enter the race.
The Trenton mayor is on friendly
terms with the Hudson leaders and
Governor Silzer is also believed to
look with approval on the Donnelly
boom. The mayor was at Sea Girt
today for Mercer Day. His candi-
dacy may also solidify the party in
Essex county. Donnelly being a
warm personal friend of James R..
Nugent and free from entanglements
with the factions opposed to Nu-
gents continuance as Essex county
leader. In his associations with the
New Jersey State League OF Munich
palities, Mayor Donnelly has worked
with City Commissioner Charles P.
Gillen, former mayor of Newark.
and an anti-Nugent Democrat.
Entrance of Donnelly takes him
from the list of prospects for the
governorship in 1925. He only re-
Trained from seeking the governor
ship in 1922 because of ill-health.
Today the mayor is fully recovered
from an operation performed at
Mayo Bros. in Minnesota three years
ago. In announcing his candidacy
Donnelly said he would continue his
program of progressivism and liber-
alism, issuing further statements to
the voters as the campaign progress

METAL MINES TAX
MAJORITY GROWS
ONLATEST RETURNS
Celebration Over EricksOn's Election
As Returns Come In.

rs ASCbu IIS Ionic III.
The vote in favor of the metal
mines gross proceeds tax, voted by
the people eff Montana at the election
last Tuesday continues to increase
and it now seems likely that when
the official compilation is made it will
be found the. measure has received a
majority of approximately $4,000.
With eight counties unreported and
all lying in that section of the state
that went strongest in favor of the
tax, and with the other counties far
from complete, the measure stood in
the latest Associated Press tabula-
ton: For the tax, 1884; against the
tax, 51,675, majority in its favor of
II 1863.
The soldiers bonus proposal is in
doubt. On meager returns available
from scattered precincts in SO coun-
ties it appears to have been defeated,
but the vote against it was only
slightly more than 1000 majority.
That the verdict Of. the people Of
Montana on the metal mines tax was
somewhat of a blow to those interests
that opposed it is plain. While they
were at the height of their celebra-
ton over the election of J. E. Erick-
son and the defeat of Governor Jc-
seph M. Dixon, who advocated the
metal mines tax. they began to see
signs that the Mines Tax measure
was going to win. That had a de-
cidedly SOLDERING influence upon the
celebrations.
Already certain employees of the in
terests fighting the mines tax are fig
uring upon the fight that is certain
to be made against its constitution
ally. One of these employees even has
gone so far as to predict the way the
members of the supreme court will
line up when the final verdict is writ
ten.
