In August there were 500 accidents in

MANILA, Nov. 4. Religion may

the house Of representatives has fore

The strong opposition vote on this
measure is an indication that the

are under the direct control OF a sec

CLEVELAND, O.. Nov. A.
Additional indications pile up
showing that the Conppers' Of
ficiaIdom in the American Fed
Grafton of Labor IS working
energeticaIIy to submarine La
FoIlette's so-calIed third party
movement.
Sam Gompers, himself, in
Washington, issued a half
hearted statement on the eve of
the election, clinging to the
Wisconsin senator as the only
available straw in this years
political whirlpool.
But compers' Crowd Switches.
But Gompers' loyal lieutenant in
New York, James P. Holland, presi-
dent Of the New York Federation of
Labor, came out boldly in upholding
the Gompers' elements in the New
York Central Trades and Labor
Council. the Printing Trades Council,
the Building Trades Council, and the
Hudson County Labor Council, over
in New Jersey, in switching from La
Toilette to the candidacy Of Morgan's
pet lawyer. John Wallstreet Davis,
on the democratic ticket.
Evidently the movement in New
York state, from LaFcllette to Davis,
has been carried on underground for
some time; since Preaidem Holland
proclaimed at the last M6liEnt that
he had lined up Representative labor
officials" in Buffalo, Albany, Rochester
and Utica.
Gonpers Destroyer From Within.
In fact the whole affair smells
strongly of Gompers' customary tao
tics of entering, controlling and then
destroying movements that he could
not crush openly.
We. can 60 back as far as the
Montreal convention of the American
Federation OF Labor, when theeraiI-
road elements put thru their Plumb
Plan endorsement over the head Of
President Gompers. But Gompers did
not allow the defeats that he suffered
at the Montreal A. F. Of L. convention
to disturb his power in the least. In
stead, by careful maneuvering, he
gradually sunk the Plumb Plan into
oblivion, until 1t is now ancient
history.
But then came the organization

litical action. supported by this same
block OF railroad union oficials, and
