ROSEBURG Samuel Compers Vindicated by Federation of Labor ONLY ONE DISSENTING VOTE Daniel Kecfe, Who Opposed His Policy, Forced lo Resign Career ol Great Leader ISpecial to the Evening Review. DENVER, Colo., Nov. 21. Samuel Gomiwrs waB today re-elected presi dent of the American Federation of Labor.. Only ono delegate. Charles Heske, president of the Wisconsin State Federation of Labor, voted against him. Gompers' re-election is a vindication of his course in tak ing the Federation Into politics and an endorsement of his declaration lo continue to do so In the future when ever the interests of labor demand it. James Duncan was re-elected vice president of of Federation by accla mation. Daniel Keefe, one of the vice-presidents, was forced to decline re-noinlnntion because of the recom mendation pf Compers' report, de claring that all those who opposed the policies of the executive council should quit office. Samuel Gompers Is a native of Lon don and now nearing the 59th year of hlB life. As the head of the greatest organization of worklngmen in the world, he Is now an international figure, and the recipient of congratu lations, not only from other labor Kaplers, hut from men high in the world of commerce, literature and government. Recent attacks made upon-s character and methods have served tnly to augment the respect In Copyright loo by Hut Siluttncr & Mux 0 fTfHE FPREMOSTDRY GOODS ESTABLISHMENT" OF SOUTHERN OREGON which he is held by millions of his fellow citizens. Gompers was horn In London Jan. 27, IS.'iO. the son of a cigarmaker. Ho attended school for four years, and this was the extent of his formal education, with the exception of a few terms at a night school while working in his father's cigar Bhop. At the age of 13 Gompers came to America, setled In New York City, and in time became a naturalized citizen of the United States. When only a lad of 14 Gompers began his career as a labor leader by aiding in the organization of the Cigar-Makers' International Union, of which he later became secretary and president. In 1881 he was the pioneer in the organization of the American Fed eration of Labor, and has been its executive head since, that time, wttn the exception of two years. The great labor leader Is a man of scholarly,' refined tastes, and hlB ap pearance is that of a college' presi dent rather than a labor agitator. He is a member of no church or re ligious organization, although in New York he was a regular attendant at the meetings of Dr. Felix Adler's Ethical Culture Society. . The bulky form of Gompers Is fre quently to be seen at the Capitol during the sessions of congress. He watches closely all labor legislation and frequently appears before con gressional committees to nrgue the cause of organized labor, in its re lation to bills affecting the Interests of workers Laboring men through out the land have benefitted by his activities and probably will continue to do so for many years to come, since President Gompers, in hlB 59th year, retains to a wonderful extent all the mental and physical vigor of a man twenty years younger.

"IT WAS A Commercial Club's Social Session was a Pro nouncee Success Fifty-eight New Members Added to the Roll "Unity of action brings resultB." "Many willing Utters help to light en the load." Lethargy was the load that for many years hampered Douglas coun ty's progress. With the. organization of the Roseburg Commercial Club about eight months ago and the subscribing of over $7000 in one evening as an advertising fund to make known to the world tho many natural advantages of Douglas coun ty that spirit of lethargy was deliver ed such a tolling blow thut it has never been able to regain Its hold unon our neoiile. instead, it has ever since been gradually superceded by . the markets of the world." Rose au ever widening spirit of progress I burg is emulating ithe example of and advancement. No community grows without the application of In telligent effort; else with the splendid resources possessed by Douglns county we should have long since been the center of the leading com- munity of a great commonwealth. With the organization of the local Commercial Club early last spring came the beginning of that unity of action which has already accom - pllshed much for our county's ma terial progress. Although many dis couragements have been encountered from vurtous sources since this Club wns' organized, those difficulties have already been largely overcome, and a foundation laid that giveB as surance of far greater results being accomplished In the near future. Club's Social Session. On lust evening the Club held Its first socinl session at which were present as guests a large number of citizens from the town and sur rounding country, including repre sentatives from other towns and neighborhoods. The evening's pro gram was opened with appropriate words of welcome by Hon. Dexter iil.e, president of the Club. Then followed a pinno solo by Mr. W. W Thackrah. a vocal Bolo by Mr. Geo. C. Graham, and a violin solo by Mr. Edw. R. Feckenscher. "Kvcryhody Roosts "All the world loves a booster," declared Mr. Rice, and with n few words of explanation, lie caused to be distributed among the audience a ilentlfu sunn r of cards containing the following pledge: "I 1 1 K It Kit Y PLEDGE MYSELF THAT FOR THK ENSUING SIX MONTHS "(1) 1 will boost ceaselessly for Kosohurg, "(2) Say no discouraging word as to any investment of anyone -in Doug lns County.

"Ilnteil November 20. 1!i0B.

After a short recess, during which the Club trustees held n brief ses slon. Wm. Permnn rendered n heautl fill cornet solo, nud Mr. iltubbs favor ed tho assemblage with a humorous recitation. To a persistent encore he responded with a song that waf also highly enjoyed. ('lull's Work Outlined Hon. J. H. Ilooth, an active mem lier of the board of trustees, since the organization of the Club, then spoke briefly' of the booster move ment. Ho dclared that "more tposs has fallen from this community in the last eight months than during the twenty yearB before." There y still some more to come off. He told of the booster meeting held in Rose- burg about the time this Club organized and which was addressed by Tom Richardson, of Portland. At that meeting upwards of $7000 were uledged for advertising Douglas county. This wag followed by nrenaratlon and distribution II the of thousands of advertising booklets. Club headquarters bad ever since been maintained with a snlarled booster In charge. The new exhibit building at the 8. P. depot had been erected and supplied with line sam ples of Douglas county products. 1 he new Commercial Club headquarters in the Kohlhsgen building was refer red to as being ready for occupancy soon. This alone will lie a fine adver tisement for the town. It will pro vide a place for the comfort of the members: a place to take and en tertain visitors to our city: a place where we can meet and get Ix-tter acquainted, besld'-s dolnir the more Important work of boosting the city and county.

Thus every per son who becomes a member of the Club now will save $10. The Club needs a larger membership, but It needs co-operation more. "With unity of action," the speaker de clared, "geographical lines will soon be blotted out. Douglas county will then be bounded on the west by a line of salmon canneries, on the I south by the grocn and purple of the . prune orchards, on the north by red I and yellow apples and on the east by I Eugene which has recently doubled Us annual advertising fund, and the speaker was told by a commercial traveller a day or two ago that Rose burg and Eugene are the two best I towns in Oregon today.

Mr. Hooth's remarks were warmly applauded, and while the orchestra rendered some further selections numerous application cards were signed. Then followed a Bubstnnllal buffet lunch, composed of Douglns county products, Including sliced hnm, bread, butter,, cheese, salad pickles, sweet elder, red apples, cake, ete.
