completed in time to permit the gath

The secrelary said he hoped the
limit of the conferees would be from
fifteen to twenty-fivo representing
tho country geographically. He ulsu
said a small number was necessary Io
permit constructive work and avoid a
debating society. The aim is to
formulate a definite program for ac
tion by the industries and the com
munities to relieve the unemployment
situation.

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 29. Tho
Bpirtt nnd orgnnisution of American
workers are unbroken bv. tho business
depression and hey will continue to
push forward, Samuel Gompers de
dared in an address Sunday before a.
conference of labor lenders. This was
Ihe first of a Heries of similar confer
ences to bo held throughout the Unit
ed flutes with a view of bringing
about "complclo unity and solidarity
among wago earners." .
Mr. Gompers, describing the effect)
of tlio depression on lnlor, said that
while tho organized labor movement
was partallly chei ked, it was never
given back to conditions existing bo-"
fore tho depression.
"This is tho first time," he saiil
"where tho men of Inbor hav., been
able, to such . tremendously large
and important degree, to maintain tho
integrity and membership of the labor
movement. And yet, never in the his
tory of labor has there been such it
concentrated drive by the employers,
business and finance ugainst men and
women of labor as . within the past
year." ;.'..
Calling upon the workers to resist
wage reductions, he sail! I : i.
"Wherever a reduction has been ac
cepted by employes, it has-been fol
lowed, by another and' then another.
Wo have called upon men of labor of
America to resist wage reductions.
"We cannot in the present stnto of
organization, or even at the high peak
of organization, successfully resist ev
ery offer of reduction of wnges, but
it is better to resist and loso or com
promise' than not to resist at all, be
cause if you don't resist you cnyour
ago Iho employer to the idea that you
can't and won't resist."
