BUREAUCRACY LABOR'S
ENEMY. SAYS GOMPERS

According to recently published
statements, Samuel Gompers, now and
for more than 40 years head of the
American Federation of Labor, recent
ly sounded warning against political
control and manipulation of industry.
II greatly fear a political bureau
cracy," he said. "The portent of such
a great machine is alarming.
"Our government, which, as an in
stitution, I regard as the best in the
world, is thoroughly competent in the
realm of political affairs and it is just
as thoroughly incompetent outside of
that realm.
"Any effort to reconcile the political
machine with the varied industrial d.
visions and requirements of the coun-
try can result only in hopeless COM
plication and conflict.
II have said repeatedly, and I be-
lieve l voice the overwhelming senti-
ment of the organized wage-earners,
that political government is incom-
petent to direct the world of industry.
cit is my belief that If the masses
Of our people were fully conscious Of
what is taking place there would be
less clamor for governmental domina-
ton of industry"

To Stimulate Study
"The offer of the scholarship is with
two objects in mind" said Capt. N. w.
Brockett of the Northwest Power &
Light Association, first, to help some
boy or girl to obtain a college educa-
tion, and second, to stimulate study
Of the manner in which the public
utilities are regulated in the state.
ut is the desire of the companies
to stimulate an interest on the part of
the public in learning more about the
light and power business and public
utilities. We desire to be judged by
the facts. The truth should not hurt
anyone.
about Is years ago the people de-
cided that the public utilities should
be regulated and passed laws putting
this regulation in effect. This has
been settled law and policy ever since.
"The utility companies conduct their
business just as any other corpora
tion, except that the service they give
and the rates they are permitted to
charge are both regulated by the state
through the Department OF Public
Works.
''The industry considered that the
giving Of an annual scholarship would
be Of material assistance to some boy
or girl obtaining higher education,
and would be of constructive benefit.
We realized, however, that the sub
ject Of this essay must be removed
from any controversial matter The
subject chosen was "State Regulation
of Public Utilities" and the essay is
based on the study of existing laws
and the best manner in which this
regulation can be effected"
