Sam GoInper's Legacy
Was The AFL

that Gompers' antipathy to the
Socialists and the IWW was based
in his realization that both organ
izations were too romantlcally
founded to be effective.
Just before World War |, Comp
ers again showed his ability to en-
ter the political lists when he
fought fer the Clayton act. What
aroused the AFL president was the
fact that the hated injunction was
being used to break strikes. Judges
were justifying its use by citing
the Sherman antitrust act of 1890.
(Even 40 years ago, there was talk
of '1abor monopoly
Gompers wanted an antitrust
law under which unions would be
exempted, because unions were cor
ganizations of labor having their
origin in human need" He thought
he had his law in the Clayton act
which said "that the labor of
human being is not a commodity or
article of commerce" and he work
ed for it's passage. But Gompers
figured without the lawyers and the
Judges who managed to twist the
Clayton act so that national and
international unions could be en-
ioined after all. The liberalizing
ris-LaGuardia and agner
acts were not passed until years
after Gompers' death. What Sam
Gompers would have thought of the
Taft Hartley act is too obvious to
mention. incidentally, Gompers
used to call Senator Taft's father
"an injunction judge.")
Essentially a pacifist, Gompers
rose to the challenge of World War
l by pledging the AFL to whole
hearted support of the American
effort. At critical points during the
conflict he crossed the Atlantic to
rouse the tagging spirits of work
ers in the Allied lands. In addition,
he served his country vigorously on
series of government labor boards
and commissions and was named
by President Wilson to the Com
mission on Int'l Labor Legislation
of the Peace Conference and help
ed draft the labor portion OF the
Versailles treaty.
Gompers met the postwar world
head-on. He saw through the Com
munists and, according to one
writer they appeared to him to re-
semble "Satan and his fallen
angels lying deep in perdition after
their headlong plunge" from heav-
en-. But he was getting old and the
furious pace at which he had driv-
en- himself was beginning to tell.
Moreover, he was up against forces
which labor, strong as he had built
it, was not yet ready to counter.
The great steel strike of 1919, and
the Boston police strike were lost.
Despite the Clayton act, the in
junction was used against the
miners and others. Nevertheless,
Gompers held the AFL together
during the trying postwar period
when it might well have been des-
troyed. His last triumph, curiously
enough, was south of the Mexican
border, where he helped make pos
sible a Mexican Federation of
Labor.
Sam Gompers died Dec. 13, 1924,
in San Antonio, Tex, and was
buried in Tarrytown, n. Y. He left
Legacy to the nation-the AM
erican Federation of Labor.

TECHNICALITY MAY DELAY
CAB DRIVER MURDER TRIAL

berg indicated he would rule on
the motion tomorrow.
Solicitor T. Reuben Long, OPP
posing the motion, argued that
the State was unable to state
specifically when and where Rob-
ert D. Oliver, 27-year-old Myrtle
Beach cab driver was slain. One
portion OF the indictment did
allege that the mortal blow was
struck at Conway on June 70,
1949, and that the body was
found five and two tenths miles
from Princeton, w. Va, about
July l, 1949. The indictment add
ed that the exact time and place
were unknown to the grand
jurors.
A hint came from defense at
torney H. E. McCaskill of Con-
way that other technicalities
might be raised when he told the
court. 1--WE are not as this time
arguing the question of jurisdio-
tion."
Can't and Gainey were arrest
ed at Lock Haven, Pa, on armed
robbery charges while in pos.
sion of divers taXieab. The
FIJI announced that both men
admitted the kionap-murder of
Oliver.
The FBI statement said the
two robbed a Myrtle Beach es-
tablishment, gained firearms,
and overpowered the cab driver
and struck him on the head. The
statement said the two crammed
the unconscious form into the
cab trunk and drove into North
Carolina.
When they reached Matthews,
N. c., the next day, the state
ment continued, they picked up
three girls and a man and the
six went on a pleasure drive to
Asheville and back to Matthews
while divers body remained in
the trunk.

E. w. Fonvielle and Son, local
Purina Chow feed dealers, have
two fine pigs in their store here,

During this trial feeding, all
farmers in the area who buy
Purina Hog chow at the local
dealers store, will be entered in
a contest with one of the pigs
being offered as the prize.
This week both Ike and Mike
seemed well contented with their
abundance of food and ultra mod

THE TABOR CITY TRIBUNE


Two county rivals, Tabor City
and Chadbourn, tangle on Civil
tan field here Friday night at
500 in what promises to be one
of the better home attractions OF
the current football season.
Tabor City, with a record of
one win against two losses thus
far, goes up against a Chadbourn
unit that tied Loris 1913, lost a
seasonal opener to Whiteville and
all in all has looked rather I'M
pressive to spectators.
The Red Devils on the other
hand, have looked good even in
their two losses suffered to date
They have showed steady i'm
provement and if injuries do not
not play big hand, should make
themselves felt in the conference
before the season closes.
Ford Fowler is currently sui
fering from a shoulder injury
and will not be able to take part
in Fridays fracas. However
Marion Baxter, who missed last
weeks game because of the sud-
den death of his father, is ex-
pected to fill in FoWler's shoes.
The next game for the locals
will be played here next Friday
night, October Is, as a part OF
the Yam Festival attraction and
will put the Red Devils against
Clinton in a conference engage
ment.

G. w. Carver Branch are planning
big things for the boys and girls
during the Christmas season. Each
year we give a Christmas party,

wholesome activities for the young
people. There will be socials, free
movies, basketball and volly ball
games, and Of course there will
be many good indoor games. such
as ping pong, checkers and domino

cation at the "Y" where all good
fellows meet.
