Little Sailor Defies Samuel Gompers
in a Labor Meeting,
New York. When Samuel Gomp
ers appeared at Cooper Union to pre
side over the mass meeting of the
International Seamen's unon, after
making a speech he put to the house
a set of resolutions which declared
that seamen were slaves- Up Jump
ed a small and limber sailor from the
middle of the house, hurdled what
feet and knees were In his way,
sprang into the isle and shook his fist
at Gompers.
"I protest " he shouted, and kept
right on down, the aisle toward the
stage.-
"Stop right there!" shouted Gomp
ers, angr'ly. "Don't you come an
other step!"
"I protest" said the little sailor,
still coming. "You and your dirty
gang have no right to set up to rep
resent the. seamen!"
"Stop! stop!" cried Gompers.
"Stop, I tell you! If you come an
other step I'll have the police put
you out!"
"And this Is your bloody free
speech, Is It?" the sailor shot out right
under Gompers" nose. "Here I am
and here I squat!"
And he dropped down Into a front
row seat and glared bravely at the
ng tated labor leader.
Gompers hesitated a moment and
then called for three cheers for the
International Union. The crowd yell
ed and the little sailor waited until
the noise died away. Then he bowed
scornfully. Back in the house the
husky policemen laughed among
themselves.
. Mr. Gompers didn't get to the meet
ing on the dot. He said he. had to
wait until he was sure the suprome
court wouldn't care, and then he
caught a tra-'n and an automobile al
the depot, and there "he was. He said
that sailors were at the mercy of the
hounds of the government and he
thought It was about time that work-"
ingmen got together and throttled the
dogs.
It is no wonder, he said, that the
American merchant marine couldn't
get young Americans to man vessel.
Conditions were so horrible, said he,
with a stamp of his foot and a whack
of h'.s hand, that the boys of Ameri
ca refuse to go to sea. For that rea
son, too. It was difficult to get sail
ors for the United States navy.
"Why, if conditions are not chang
ed on the great !".hes pretty soon,"
shouted Mr. Gompers, "Japs and Chi
namen and other kinds of pigtails
will be manning fresh water vessels."
