Samuel Go rap en, president of ths American Feledation of Labor, will go to Spokane after his visit here on Aug ust 4. Members of the American Labor Union of that place believe that Mr. Gomperi resents he activity of their or ganisation, ! and that hla mission there Is for the purpose of stamping out the A. L. V. The recent.. A.. V., U. . convention In Denver declared the sympathy of the or ganisation with the Socialist party move ment, although It did not make a be-: lief in Socialism nor Adherence in the Socialist party a requirement for affilia tion with the organisation itself. Mr. Gompers' visit to Spokane is likely to precipitate a red hot ruction over so- olallsm among labor organisations there, and many adherents of both factions are looking forward to his coming with eagerness. In a rcoent speech at Phila delphia Mr." Gompers declared his belief that socialism Is un-American, and that be is unalterably opposed to it Labor leaders In Spokane, on both sides, ex pect that Mr. Gompers will pitch into u.e A.. I U. with great severety on ac count of Its socialistic utterance at the recent convention. H. L. Hughes, organiser at that place for the American Labor Union and him self1 Socialist, said to a Spokesman Review reporter: 'You can ojuote me as saying that I re gard Mr, Gompers as an out and out traitor to the labor movement. I be lieve that the Clvio Federation, formed by Gompers, Mark H&nne - and others for the ostensible purpose of settling dis putes between labor and capital, Is a scheme to betray , organised labor Into the hands of capital, and I believe Gom pers Is a party to It, and that he went Into It with his eyes wide open; - Mr. Hanha stands for everything to which organised labor Is antagonistic. He "Is capitalism ' personified, and tha great mass of organised labor men re tard him as their onen 'enemy. . Mr. Gompers knows furf well the sentiment Of labor toward Mr. Hanna, and Jls con nection with him is, to say the least, suspicious. Mr. Gompers shows further that he is an enemy to organised labor by his open ana acknowledged ercorc to aestroy a great labor organisation the American Labor Union. He pretends to favor a close affiliation between organised labor bodies, and to that end he argues that all unions should join the American Fed eration of, Labor. His real grievance Is that the- unions affiliated with the A. L. U. are not paying tribute In the shape of per capita tax to the American Fed eration . of Labor, of which he Is the head. The American Labor union has Its own peculiar mission In this Western territory, and it will not be detewed from It by the threats ol Mr. Gompers Or anyone else.",,,,...., UNITED STATES COURT. Judge Bellinger today "signed an order for the appointment of a special exam iner to take evidence at Grants Pass in the asa of A. W. Fox vs. J. O'B. Gunn and T. W.-M. Draper. Jesse M.
