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

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.

"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:

A few minutes later, when these
cards were reca led to the secretary's
lesk it wns found that they had been
signed by nearly every person -pres
cut. thus showing the unanimity of
the prevailing booster spirit.
After a short recess, during which
the Club trustees held n brief ses

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

and county. To do Its work properly
the Club needs the ascistance of

them the trustees had voted to sus
pend the rule fixing the membership
fee at $20, and making it only $10
for a brief period. 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 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. This Com

I members. Mr. Hnoth announced that

Rose, its founder, drove here the

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. Roseburg Havanas followed. In
fact the committee in charge seemed
to have kept In mind the home In
