Gompers Bitterly Attacks Con

Bills Demanded.
VOTE ONLY FOR FRIENDS
President of Federation Says Speak

Iron Grip and Only Rep

NEW YORK. May 30. (Special.)
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, has
made an appeal to organized labor
throughout the country to vote against
Congressmen who have voted against
-jBirt.n-iBd l saadiuoo "JIV 'SIU. Joqwi
ly bitter against Speaker Cannon. In
his statement to the workers, he says:
"Mass 4nee tings were held all over
the country, from April 19 to May 1.
They attracted an immense amount of
public attention, for at these gather
ings the workers and their friends
voiced In most emphatic terms labor';
protest against the indifference of Con
gress, which for lack of an amendment
to the Sherman anti-trust law, which
could readily be passed, permits the
trades unions to be classed as trusts
and liable to punishment as such.
Elect Only Labor's Friends.
"No member of Congress can complain
that he is in ignorance of the desires of
his constituents or that he has failed to
receive warning that labor and Its friends
Intend to elect only those who have
promoted and voted for the legislation
demanded.
j) pun juqi pBad uauissajSuoo unflE.t
the domination of our genial 'Uncle Joe'
Cannon, it is impossible to get these bills
before the House. They assert that he
holds the House in an iron grip; that he
will not allow a bill to come to a vote
if he does not wish to do so; that no
matter how sincere their desire to pass
these hills Uncle Joe will not give them
a chance.
Under Uncle Joe's Tyranny.
"What a humiliating confession
from the members, of our highest
legislative body held fast In the iron
grip of one irresponsible man, subpect
entirely to his whim. Who is re
sponsible for 'Uncle Joe's Czardom ex
cept the Congressmen who elected him
to the speakership and who permitted
lil ni to impose upon them a set of
rules which mnkes him such an abso
lute master of tho House that mem
bers might as well ko home and let
the Speaker record what legislation he
wishes passed?
"Nor must we forget that this irre
sponsible tyrant Is not representing
his personal whims alone. Ah! no; he
represents the powerful 'interests'
who. with the docile consent of the
majority of the House, have placed
him there and aided him in imposing
his autocratic rule upon the Hodse,"

start of the race, the Belgian balloon
ICmulation de Nord striking a tree In the

stantly threw over his ballast and suc
ceeded In clearing the obstruction, but his
car took with it two huge branches of

WIUGHT BROTHERS CONFIDENT
Americans Not Worried by Record
Flight of De La Grange.
PARIS. May no. Wilbur Wright, one of
the Wright brothers, the American aero
planlsts. was informed today that Leon
De La Grange, the French aeroplanist, had
succeeded in flying 12,750 metres at
Rome. He manifested considerable in
terest In the performance and said:
"We are not worried. We have already
tripled the distance made by M. De La
Grange this morning. Our confidence in
our leadership rests upon the essential
difference between our machine and those
used In Kurope. We have a practical
aeroplane capable of flying on the wind."'
Mr. Wright then proceeded to explain
that the problem of equilibrium had been
solved by himself and his brother by the
application of Melicoid principles which
enabled them by a twist of the surface
of the planes to right their machines
against the wind. On the other hand,
he said, all the European machines thus
far 'had stationary-planes.
Commenting upon the description of the
Wright aeroplane recently published in
the newspapers. Mr. Wright expressed
the opinion that his brother was not re
sponsible for many statements placed In
his mouth.
"The dimensions given are inaccurate,"
he said, "and it is palpable they were
obtained from the patent-office specifi
cations, which, in some respects, are
deliberately misleading.
Continuing, Mr. Wright said the ad
vantage of having two persons In the
machine for military purposes was that
one could take observations while the
other handled the mechanism. He thought
it would be six weeks before his demon
strations would begin. French aeronauts
are intensely interested in the prospect
of a series of demonstrations with the
Wright aeroplane in France.

country the , respect that is accorded
others.
The advices contained the information
that .the National Disgrace Association

It isn't so very long ago since PORTLAND FURNITURE BUYERS had Hobson's choice. They could buy from either of the Big Price
Boys or go without furniture. The time was ripe for revolt. Therefore we were opportunists. Although we opened our store in the
midst of the panic and notwithstanding the fact that we located on the East Side, people flocked to our store in droves. Our business grew
by leaps and bounds. Never before had the public been able to buy high-class furniture at such reasonable figures and we made an immediate
hit, and also HIT THE BIO PRICE BOYS AWFULLY HARD. Really they did not know what had struck them at first a cyclone or an
avalanche it came so suddenly. But it was an awful awakening the realization that they no longer had things all their own way. Of
course, they will always have customers who are indifferent to prices, but all judicious buyers are coming to our store. They know prices
are based on expenses and they can easily answer the question if
