SWINDLED, WIRE
A 'party of well known Medford
people who left here two weeks ago
on an auto trip to southern California,
and expected to arrive back home to
day are sadly marooned at Salinas,
Calif.', about 150 miles or so south of
San Francisco by a court case through
a bad man having given Arthur C.
Bevan, leader of the party, a bum
chock for Injuries sustained to the
Medford car after he had bumped
Into It.
Local folks familiar with Mr.
Ilevan's Ford wonder bow It could pos
sibly have been injured more than
couple of dollars worth no mutter how
bad the accident. He that as It may
the Medford party wired homo for
money to keep them alive until after
the court trial, and won't appear here
abouts for about a week.
. In the party are Mr. and Mis. lievan,
Misses Natalie and Ruth Hamilton und
James Campbell, sometimes culled
Jlmmle. They had the time of their
lives on the trip and .everything was
going groat until the wicked mun
bumped Into the car. ; At Iab Angeles
they were the guests 'of the Kcntner
family, former prominent residents of
Medford.
When the bump came the former
Canadian war veteran "went over the
top (or the first time since early in the
world war and bawled the orrendlng
driver out so vigorously In Princess
Pat regiment style, that the latter
warmly apologized and further, at
odcq drew a liberal check lu payment
for damages inflicted on the Medford
car. This check wus soon afterward
found to be worthless, and resulted in
Arthur and Jlmmle, aided by the oth
ers causing- the villain's arrest. There
are often vexatious delays in courts,
and the Medford party can not sturt
for home until the case is disposed of.
They were running out of funds,
hence the passionate pleas wired home
for flnnncial aid. ' This appeal hud a
tremendous effect on the local Cullfor-
nia-Oregon Power company's staff
touched 'heir hearts so much that they
6outrlbuisd to a fund to send a tele
gram of condolence and good advice.

UENVKIt, June 25. The history of
Samuel (lompers is' largely the his
tory of organized labor. Since 18S1,
with the exception of one term, be
bus been president of the American
federation or Intior, which he was
largely instrumental in organizing.
Friends of the veteran labor leader
say lie is the most active man in the
United States, despite his 71 years,
Ife traveled an average of 100 miles
a day during J 920, one trip being
made by airplane to keep an engage
ment. Hardly a meal is eaten with
out a conference going of, simultan
eously and at times he lias dictated
statements as he ate.
During the pnst year he hns writ
ten four books and fifty pamphlets.
Another b6ok is in the hands of his
publishers. .
Throughout the war ho was active
in preventing strikes and assuring lu
bor co-operation in war work. Twice
lie visited Kurope, making'speeches in
behalf of the war and participntaing
in the peace conference. '. Tho slogan,
"no peace without victory," is credit
ed to Mr. Clompers. Ho was chair
man of the labor commission of the
national council of defense during the
war, president of tlie American alli
ance for labor and democracy and
chairman of the commission on inter
national labor at the peace confer
ence. t '
Mnrrietl in April.
In nddition to his administrative
work as president, Mr. ompers edits
the American Federationist, a month
ly publication, directs labor's efforts
to obtain favorable legislation at
Washington and keeps in touch with
labor activities throughout the coun
try. With the exception of this year and
in 1.H94, when John Mellrlde, a mine
worker, was elected president, Mr.
(lumpers lias had virtually no opposi
tion for re-election.
He married Sophia Julian of New
York early in life. After her death
he married' Mrs. Gertrude Cleaves
Neuschler of Zunesville, Ohio, In April
of this yea
Born in England, Mr. Oompers
came to America when 13 years old.
Working as a cigar maker, he organ
ized an international cigar makers
union in 1S64 and was secretary and
president for six years.
It wns in connection -with this work
that he became interested in the
larger movement which resulted in
organization of the federation.
Gompert Nominated
The first name submitted as a candi
date for the presidency was that of
President Samuel Gompers, who wa
nominated in an eulogizing speech by
George Perkins of Chicago, presideuv
of the cigar makers' union.
A demonstration of several minutes
greeted the announcement of Mr.
Oompers' name by Mr. Perkins at the
close of his address. A number of
delegates jumped to their feet and
cheered but scores of others remained
quietly in their seats,' averting a stam
pede in behalf of the veteran labor
leader.
Mr. Perkins commended the veteran
labor leader as a man "with wonderful
Intuition, wonderful faith, of match
less knowledge, fearless couragc.'who
took a rope of sand and made It the
strongest nnd most formidable econo
mic movement in the entire world.
"Under his fearless leadership you
have no cause for fear from the open
shop movement and other hostile
drives," declared the speaker, adding:
"No man' in the United States i is
more lied about and abused than the
president of the American Federation
of Labor. Why? Because this man
has accomplished something. He has
shown Incomparable and wonderful
ability and constructive force."
Perkins declared that Mr. Gompers
was physically able to perform his
duties despite reports to the contrary.
In closing he submitted Mr. Gom
pers' name as that of '"successful nnd
fearless leader." f
John L. Lewis Nominated
When William Green, secretary of
the United States Mine Workers
mounted the platform to nominate
John L. Lewis, he was given an enthu
siastic ovation. '
"Under tho splendid leadership of
this great leader," Mr. Green declared,
"his organization had made wonderful
progress that siieaks for Itself.
"Through the present Industrial de
pression, under his leadership, the
United Mine Workers has retained its
wage scale and no recession made."
Defending the action of the miners'
chief in "bowing to the government,"
in the coal mine strike of 1919, Mr.
Green declared that Lewis had shown
"courage, wisdom and judgment in
meeting this crisis.
"If we had opposed the government,
the government would have run over
our union and instead of being here
todav as proud delegates there would
only be a remnant of our organization
left.
"It requires more moral courage to
meet such a crisis, and make a decis
ion though the heart rebels against the
force that carries you on.
"I submit to you the name of a can
didate you know him and his pecu
liar qualifications, a man who has
been tried and never found wanting,"
said Mr. Green, formally placing Mr.
Lewis' name in nomination. He was
mildly greeted as he left the platform.
