Dawes Commuter Subjects
Wall to High Heaven Over
Proposed Fare Increases

BY Staff Correspondent, International
Labor News Service.
Chciago.-Many people in Chicago
are deriving a great deal of amuse-
ment as result of the loud walls of
the feudal subjects of Charles G.
Dawes, baron of the Gold Coast.
Right on the heels of the announce
ment by the United States railroad
labor board that the Chicago & North
western Railway Company should pay
its engineers and fremen per
cent increase in wages, with changes
in the working rules which, it is said,
will have the effect of acting as a
string to the alleged increase, the
railway company announces to the
shocked denisens of the aristocratic
North Shore district that it intends
to ask the Illinois commerce commits
sion for 20 per cent increase in
suburban passenger fares.
Commuters Voice Wrath
The subjects of Baron Dawes are
in state of rebellion all along the
line, and indignation meetings are be-
ing held in every country town served
by the Chicago & Northwestern, in

cluding elite and sancified Evanston,
the baronial stronghold of Hell-an'-
Maria
1t is not known whether the baron
will mobilize his comic opera army,
known as the Minute Men of the Con-
stitution, to take hand in the fracas,
but it is generally understood that if
he does take the field it will be on the
side of the railway company, as "all
of us barons have got to stand to-
gether." The uproar is becoming so
terrific that it is certainty Baron
Dawes will have to take action sooner
or later.
Suburbs Have Backed Dawes
The country towns adjacent to Chi
cago always have strongly backed
Dawes in his political fights. 1t was
these country towns that rolled up
pluralities for injunction judges, when
Chicago proper had voted against
them. That is why these commuters
are getting the horse laugh now. To
make the situation still funnier
Dawes is not sitting right politically
to help his subjects out of their sad
lidemma.

Striking Kentucky Miners

Indianapolis, lnd.-Miners in Dis

THE CHIEF RESTS
President Samuel Gompers Who Passed Away Last Sat-
day After Forty-four Years Leadership of American
Labor Was Laid to Final Rest Thursday

All that was mortal of organized
labor's chief, Samuel Gompers, sleeps
tonight in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery,
Tarrytown, N Y.-sleeping the sleep
of the just, meath mountain of
floral emblems, tributes of love from
hundreds in the ranks of the highest
and the lowliest, for wasn't President
Gompers the friend of all, whether
rich or poor? And wasn't it his sole
ambition and effort to do for all man
kind?
The trip from the city in which the
dead chief passed away to the city
where he lies in rest was like tri-
umphal march, showing the respect
and esteem in which the dead leader
was held by the multitude The high
and the low, the mighty and the weak,

mark of respect in all cities and
places where opportunity was given to

morning at 4:10 o'clock, just IL hours
after his arrival from Mexico City,
where he was stricken ten days be-

end was near when stricken in Mex
leo City and said that he was ready,
expressing a wish, however, that If he
had to go he hoped it would be on

workers were at his bedside when the
/ final summons came. Holding his
hand when the end came was James
Duncan, first vice president OF the
American Federation of Labor, who
stood shoulder to shoulder with his
leader during his "A years presidency
of the federation Holding his other
hand was William D. Mahon, presi-
dent of the Amalgamated Association
Of Street and Electric Railway en-
ployes.
Death found President Gompers as
life found him-a fighting man. He
never gave up. When told by his
physician that he was passing, his
jaw clenched as tightly as his feeble
strength would permit, he breathed
heavier, but he never said, Il give
up"
The dead chiefs last thought was OF
the American institutions he had
labored so long to maintain. When
he was convinced he could not win
against death, he said:
Nurse, this is the end. God bless
our American institutions. May they
grow better day by day"

away Ever thinking of others, ever
in his last moment.

His Life
The life of Gompers is the story
of the rise of a poor immigrant boy

labor world such as no man before

"the father of the American labor
movement" Whether the descrip-

mothered and nursed the American
Federation of Labor from sickly
infant organization in the early 80's
to its present strength.
He gave his life to it. He helped

weathering storm after storm, de-

and without the organization. Many
historians will accord Gompers an
important place in the history of the

the Civil war and the World war.

At those prices and at the wages
offered by the operators the average
miner would have scarcely enough
left, after paying for tool sharpening,
powder ETC., to buy but few groceries,
not to mention shoes and clothing,
doctors bills, school books and little
extra comfort. One miner told Off
cials that he had two children, his
wife and mother and himself to sup
port, and that he could not make ends
meet on the wages offered.
