CHILD LABOR AMENDMENT

The Legislature will be called upon
to act favorably or unfavorably on
the Federal Child Labor Amendment.
Inasmuch as the National and State
Republican Party platforms declared
for it's ratification, and the Republi-

in both branches of the Legislature,
it only requires the execution of the
party pledge to have sufficient votes
to ratify the amendment
The State Democratic Party plat

ment and it should receive the votes

SAMUEL GOMPERS
(An interpretation

The public quickly forgets the
faults of men who were really great.
Death burns away the dross and
leaves only the pure metal. In his
lifetime Samuel Gompers exhibited
manv of the weaknesses and foibles
that afflict humanity. He was prone
to pose, possessed and stressed the
dramatic quality, and perhaps the
most regretable of all was his strong
addiction to vanity. He invited criti-
cism and attack largely because of
these frailties. But he repelled the
slanders and the aspersions of small
minds and great with courage and
an intellect so conspicuous that they
were universally acknowledged by the
analysts and the thinkers.
Samuel Gompers was valient
knight in the cause to which he ded-
icated his life. He met all oppon-
ents and his blows left many scars.
He was not overnice at times in the
weapons with which he fought, but
he knew that he was the leader of a
mass Struggle, and that in their ini-
tial stages these conflicts are neces-
sarily rough. He was the proponent
of the doctrine that the toiler was en-
titled to a greater and yet greater
share of the wealth he produced.
Those who were the losers in the ap-
plication Of this philosophy fought
back with tooth and claw; they are
still fighting with the same feroclty.
The struggle is and will continue to
be rough so long as the wage system
endures.
Samuel Gompers did indeed keep
the faith. He fought a good fight.
He never asked for quarter. He was
thrice armed for the combat. Always
watchful, he won by his very aggres-
sion. In whatever company, at what
ever place, his voice could be heard in
defense and in advocacy of the people
who in the sweat of their brows earn
their bread He never shirked in the
combat; his armor flashed in the van
of the battle. He always led his
hosts in the great adventure.
Many disagreed with him, among
them those whose captain he was. His
critics were of selfish purpose and en-
envy and by different ideals, and
IIlOS0 Will NlClOuS pIOpCHSlIlCS cllu
Indifferent intellect. There were men
who would use him, there were few
if any who succeeded. His sword was
always keen of edge, and it famed
forth at the first note of challenge.
And after all, the world loves a
fighter. This was demonstrated as
the body of this doughty warrior
moved from San Antonio to New
York. Many thousands at each sta
ton where stop was made viewed
the body with reverent eyes, and at
other points stood with barred heads
as the train moved through. The
funeral services in New York were
attended by the great and the lowly,
and both paid high respect.
All in all, this wonderful tribute to
the dead gladiator was an indication
that men and women who fight in
such cause, who battle for the House
of Want, are better appreciated than
the lack of testimonial in their lives
would indicate, and that cruel and
merciless criticism does not affirm.
The earthly abode of Samuel Comp
ers is at rest. The flaming spirit of
the man will never die. The cause
still lives.-From the Typographical
Journal, official organ of the Inter-
national TypOgraphical Union.

California Urges
Child Labor Ban

Sacramento, alif.-The state fed
Grafton of labor has arranged Wig
orous campaign before the state leg
islature for the federal child labor
amendment.
The unionists will also urge the
passage of bill providing for jury
trial in criminal contempt cases, fol-
lowing a decision to this effect by the
United States supreme court last Oc-
tober.
"Under the circumstances there
ought to be no good reason why state
courts should not grant jury trials in
contempt cases." the unionists say.

Plumbers Expect

Washington-John Coefield, presi-
