/ II was a long statement for Mr..
Green to make. Usually his inter-
viewer does most Of the talking, for
he can listen almost as well as Presi-
dent Coolidge. He win sit through 3
stormy convention for days and held
his peace until it seems to him that
it is time to speak. Then, usually
even his opponents pay him the COM
pIiment Of close attention. They fear
missing something.
Green in appearance and habits is
almost the absolute antithesis of the
man he succeeds. GSmpers was ever
the actor-witness the setting he
chose for his grave-who dressed, and
always acted the part. Green is mod
est almost to the point. of difIidence,
and dresses like q small town pro-
fessional man. Gompers was . rare
mixer, never much happier than when
in the center Of a group of good fell
lows. Green likes to entertain--a
more nearly perfect host would be
hard to name-but no rearing, roaring
group for him.
Fought For County Option
Gompers was wet in speech and in
practice. Green is a teetotaller, and
as a member of the Ohio Senate help
ed the Anti-Saloon League in its fight
for county option. Gompers had no
formal church connections. Green is
a regular attendant at the little Bap-
fist Church in his home town.
No one could know Gompers half an
hour without learning his opinion of
Volstead and his act. Men who have
Known Green for years did not know,
as did the men who elected him, that
he is a "dry" and an active church
member because of his habit of treat
ing such matters as purelp personal
and private.
Gompers was a good politician.

in this:

way to show my appreciation and
gratitude than by giving you and the

which the movement stands, the best
service that can WITHOUT SPAR

Ito leave better labor movement in
America and in the wrold, if l can,
than l found in it when entered as
boy on the field Of the industrial
and humane struggle for the right"
1t was Gompers' zeal for righteous
ness, for humanity, that won for
him the great tribute that was paid
him on his death. His end was hasten
ed by his devotion to the cause of
fraternity between the two great re-
pubIics of the north-the United
States and Mexico.
John ]. Leary, Jr., labor editor of
the New York World, in a remarkable
tribute to Mr.. Gompers on the day
of his death writes that he knew
what the consequences of his trip to
Mexico City to see the inaugural of
President Gales might be.
I 'I've got to go, even though it
kills me-" he said to friends who tried
to demonstrate with him.

FROM AN ARTICLE BY JOHN J. LEARY. JR.
In NEW YORK WORLD

I favor a policy that viii bring to
the workers the highest possible
wages, the most humane working con-
ditions mad the highest living stand
ards obtainable.
William Green, Samuel Gompers'
successor as president Of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor, was speak
ing. "And how" I asked, "do you
propose to obtain these things?"
by laying down and following a
sane, solid, constructive program. We
must build up. We must not destroy.
We must stick closely to American
standards and American ideals.
1--WE must recognize that wage
agreement, once made, is sacred
binding contract that must be main
tanned at any cost. Collective bar
gaining is q right. The keeping of
collective bargains is q duty.
81 do not propose, nor has any other
responsible person, that the principles
and fundamentals Of trades unionism
as laid down by Samuel Gompers
shall be abandoned. Through their
practice, the American Federation of
Labor became a vital, aggressive fac
tor in the economic and social life of
the nation. It viii continue to be
such through adherence to them.
Did Not Want Presidency
IL never wanted the place. would
prefer to remain with my own union,
the United Mine Workers. They are
my people. They have been very
good to me. But when they joined in
demanding that l accept, WELL / just
had to.
'Now, having taken it, ! must see
the job through. will see it through
with the help Of the leaders and the
men in the ranks, without whose help
l could do little"

By International Labor News Service
WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. L.
When presented with a marble bust
OF himself at the El Paso convention
OF the American Federation Of Labor,
President Samuel GOmpers made a
heartfelt response that was practically
his swan song, last words as clear, as
strong, as eloquent of his great love
for his fellowmen as Gompers ever
uttered. ss
The bust, done by Moses Dykaar,
like Gompers, an immigrant boy, was
presented by Morris Sigman, presi-
dent Of the international Ladies' Gar
ment Workers Union, in recognition
of what "the Grand Old Chief" as he
called him, had done in 1910 to bring
about the historic general strike,
which freed the garment workers
from the sweat shop.
A great tribute to President Com
pers had been paid earlier in the con-
vention, but he had not been able to
respond, for his worn heart was fail
ing him, although his will was firm
and his mind was clear. But with the
presentation, as graceful and timely
a gift as has ever been presented at a
labor convention, he summoned his
waning strength to say.
81 don't know what to say in ex-
preston Of my appreciation. No
word can convey to you what l feel
in regard to this fellowship which you
have instituted. What can l say
