By DIR. CHARLES STEELE

By DIR. CHARLES STEELE
Samuel Compers was the ''fron-
tiersman'' of trade-uniOnism in
America. Others had previously
established labor unions which we're
powerful in their day, but they
were loosely organized and unre-
lated as compared with the Amer
lean Federation of Labor, to the
perfection of which Mr.. Compers
gave his life.
Being frontiersman, he developed
many of the characteristics which one
finds among all pioneers. He was a
tremendous individualist and extreme
ly 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
exaltation of the great organization
which he built up and whose Presi-
dent he was for nearly forty years.
Things mattered to him, only as they
affected the cause of "our great labor
movement" as he often fondly called
it.
Unanimous Votes
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 impartial1y. But
when he passed the gavel to one of
the vice-presidents-the sign that he
was about to speak-there was per
feet quiet, and when he had finished
has always deliberate speech, there
was rarely anything but unanimous
vote in favor of his position.
And yet, there was positively

Cities Differ In
Their AttitudeOn
..Stirrup Pumps

Declaring that recent Investigations
revealed that jet of water is superior
to a fine spray, and that sand is
superior to water for extinguishing
incendiary bombs, the Hartford Civil
ian Defense Council told the Central
Labor Union committee investigating
the distribution of stirrup pumps,
that there should be no restriction of
the sale of these pumps, according to
a report made to Gu. by its COM
mittee.
The committee, composed of
Pres. William A. Scott, a member
of the Defense Council, Joseph
Lombard and Anthony Vendrillo,
called upon the Defense Council,
at the behest of the C.L.U. after
it received a letter from the Inter-
national Association of Firefighters,
ALL, urging labor organizations
to investigate the methods by which
stirrup pumps would be distribut-
ed in their communities. The as
ISOLATION urged action to prevent
uncontrolled sales of the commun-
ity's allotment of pumps in order
that there would be an equal dis
tributiOn for equal protection of
all citizens against incendiary
bombing.
The New Haven Defense Council
apparently attaches greater importance
to stirrup pumps, for it has assumed
full charge of New Haven's alloca-
ton of stirrup pumps, which has been
purchased by the city in order to
assure equitable protection"
This was revealed by Harold V.
Feinmark, president of the N. H.
Central Labor Union, who took the
matter up with New Haven authori-
ties at the request of the Associa-
ton of Firehghters, as previously
reported in THE UNION TIMES.

nothing magnetic about him.
Rather, he was dynamic-prOduc-
ing changes through the sheer
force of his character. He held
sway over the four hundred dele
gates, not as a "Czar," but because
of the profound respect his fol-
lowers had for him. Whether he
would have lost his grip had he
lived is problematic, but it was
generally understood in trade
circles that ''Sam'' was to be Presi-
dent of the American Federation
of Labor as long as he cared to
hold the office.
He scorned political office, he re-
fused brides of every kind-he died

THE TEXAS OIL FIELDS-H
just One Meeting

One meeting was all that was
needed to get the workers together.
We sent for the charter the next
morning. Our first demands includ-
ed better working conditions and
a 100 per cent increase in wages.
1t must be remembered that with
the increase in population room
rents and other living expenses
skyrOcketed. Most of the members
were camping out in auto camps :;
sleeping quarters cost not less than
$40 a week; and laundry was i'm
possible. There were no accommo-
datiOns to get it done, with the
result that many members simply
bought new shirts, etc. 1t was
cheaper than trying to get your
laundry done. / had suit case full
of new shirts / had bought when
left the town. You will see that the
100 per cent increase in pay we
asked was not unreasonable.
We presented the proprietors with
the proposed wage scale and they
asked for a conference. We met and
they offered us a compromise. We
left the conference about midnight.
There was no time for squabbling,
SO l got my typewriter and split the
difference between what the bosses
offered and what the union asked !;
typed off enough copies to present to
the restaurant and hotel bosses the
next morning with the request that
it be signed by noon or the help would
not work.
This was rather drastic procedure,
but warranted by the circumstances.

revenge of its own on American
cIergymen because the Chicago
chapter of the Religion & Labor

DOnnelley's, which prints the
phone books i'm most major
American cities, has notified
that the listing of clergy resi-
dence addresses as well as office
addresses in the classified
phone books will be discon-
tinued.
This will mean, the Christian

most of the clergy will disappear
from the classified sections be-
cause they have their offices in
