time of Mr.. Gompers death in 1924
Samuel GOmpers was the frontiers
man" of trade-unioniSm in America.
Others had previously established Ia
Dor unions which were powerful in
their day, but they were loosely organ
lied and unrelated as compared with
the American Federation of Labor, to
the perfection of which Mr.. Gompers
gave his life.
Being Il frOntierSman, he developed
many of the characteristics which one
finds among all pioneers. He was a
tremendous individualist and extreme
" jealous of what he had established.
Samuel Gompers was known for his
devotion to the single idea of the trade
union as he knew it, and his eXalta-
ton of the great organization which
he built up and whose President he
was for nearly forty years. Things
mattered to him, only as they affected
the cause of 'Our great labor move
ment," as he often fondly called it.
Mr.. Gompers was absolute master
of every situation that developed at
conventions of the American Fedora
ton of Labor. He rarely took part in
debate, presiding impartially. But
when he passed the gavel to one of
the Vice Presidents-the sign that he
was about to speak-there was perfect
quiet and when he had finished his
always deliberate speech, there was
rarely anything but unanimous vote
| in favor of his position. And yet,
there was positively nothing magnetic
about him. Rather, he was dynamic
producing changes through the sheer
force of his character. He held sway
over the four hundred delegates, not
us Il Car" but because of the pro-
found respect his followers had for
him. Whether he would have lost his
grip had he lived is prOblematic, but
it was generally underStOOd> in trade
union circles that Sam was to be
President of the American Federation
of Labor as long as he cared to hold
the Office.
He scorned political Office, he re-
fused bribes of every kind-he died q
poor man-he frequently sneered al
"outsders' who wanted to help pro
mote his cause because he couldn't
quite trust them-hs was a one mans
job, and that job was the lifting III
of our common humanity to the place
which he believed it deserved. Il lool
for better togorrow, and better
tomorrows tomorrow" he frequently
said in speeches given at annual con
yentions of the American Federation
of Labor and elsewhere.
Whatever else may be said abou
Mr.. Gompers he could not fairly b,
charged with being anything but ;
thorough-going American. He wa:
loyal to the last degree-and to tn,
last moment of his life, as his tina
words testified God bless our Ameri
can institutions. May they grow bette
day by day"

reported that some $4,000 transfers
had been effected.
The commission has been very
critical of waste of manpower, and
on one occasion told Congress and
the President that the time and
skills of thousands Of workers were
being wasted because OF inadequate
supervision.
Some of the agencies have insti-
tuted training programs both for
supervisors and the personnel I'M
der them.
Congress also had a look at this
situation and in passing the pay
increase bill called on the Budget
Bureau to have the agencies report
what they could do in the way Of
conserving manpower by the gen.
eral application of the 48-hour work
week that went into effect at the
beginning of the year.
The bureau in turn has called for
comprehensive reports from the
agencies along this line. They were
asked what work they are doing
which duplicates that done else
where and what functions they
would recommend for elimination
during the war.

Dnieperopetrovsk is above the site

Muscle Shoals Dam in the United
States.
Since the Russians began their
offensive three months ago at Sta

of Hitlers finest troops were killed
or captured trying to cut the Volga
River communications of the Rus

Dnieperopetrovsk and Zaporozhe,

Nazi defense positions on the rivers

the river bend was preached by the

sectors of the Western Caucasus
have their backs to the Crimea and
are expected to try to escape to that

however, further endanger their
chances of escape via the Crimea.

the fact remains that you do.
For almost every wage Garner

You never actually IBID"

the spending of all average

different story. So it is inn

soar. That's imitation.
