January issue of the American Federa
tionlst. Mr. Gompers pledges hta full co-operation
In any Investigation that may
be made. The forthcoming- number of
the official organ of the Federation will
be the first to appear since organized
labor's defense of the McNamara
brothers collapsed by reason of their
confession of the outrages charged
against them. In his editorial Mr.
Gompers conflnea himself to a discus
sion of the Issues raised by the Mc
Namara case, saying of the case Itself
that he and his colleagues will stand
by the statement they authorised soon
after the confession of the brothers,
lavestlgatlosi Is CesurteeU
Continuing his declaration that or
ganised labor Is ready lac Investiga
tion. Mr. Gompers says:
"Files, records of all kinds, account
books, everything in documentary
shape. Is open to the agents of the
law. All that has been printed or
spoken or written to our correspond
ents is subject to their Inquiries. Ev
cry act of every official may be freely
looked Into. No one is going to dodge
or run away. Whatever can be done to
assist the law will be done at these
offices.
"This Is our reply to the threats of
the Federal officials to get at the men
-higher up." to the repeated announce
ments In the press of 'a Nation-wide
Investigation by Federal officials.' to
the assertions that belflnd the McNa
maraa were men standing high in the
Councils of labor.
Labor Problem Dlacnssed.
Mr. Gompers then propounds the
question: "How Is trade unionism to be
affected" and In answering that hi
search for light has brought nothing
new. he goes on to discuss the labor
problem.
"What has happened." he says, "has
been a deplorable Incident, a misfor
tune, an exceptional source of incidents
which does not touch the essentials of
trsde unionism."
He finds that amid the clamor raised
by fiscal Interests, by partisan preju
dice, by sensation-mongers, or through
mere shallowness and baae truckling
or the noise-makers, the country Is be-
ins; compelled to hear "the evidence
of sanity and moral force." He says
the demands of part of the dally press
for Immediate change of officers la
"worth no attention."
OrgaalaaUoa Held Fair.
Asserting that the American Feder
ation of Labor la administered through
the fairest procedure of a perfectly
democratic organization, he declares
Its history Is the story of the will and
the wish of Its majorities and asks.
"how can it be other than what It is?"
He repeats that the methods of the
federation stop short of Injurious at
taoka on persons and property while
they unfailingly uphold every right of
labor and et the wage-earners "In their
movements on the highways. In their
purchases. In their choice of work-fel
lows and in their organization."
In conclusion. Mr. Gompers speaks
of the 'concentrateo effort and bitter
animosity- of the enemies of organized
labor, "to crush out the spirit of the
toilers," and leaves as a parting ad
monition to his constituents: "Grit
your teeth and organize."
