or CORKS
FEDERATION PRESIDENT AGAINST
BIG APPROPRIATION
FOR M'NAMARA DEFENSE
Is Not Opposed to Rendition of All tho
Aid Possible, but Thinks It
Should Come From Private
8ubscriptione
Atlanta, Ga.—The fact that efforts
bare been made by President Gom-
pers to suppress the resolution to ap-
propriate >600,000 to the McNamara
defense fund, came out Nov. 16 on
the floor of the convention of the
American Federation of Labor.
Shortly before adjournment for the
day, Delegate A. C. Gallagher of the
California delegation, inquired of the
president whether a resolution could
be presented after that day. He ex-
plained that he had a very Important
resolution bearing on the McNamara
case which he said would cause some
friction If brought before the conven
tion and that he had been asked to
withhold it pending the result upon
the convention of the president’s re-
port which would deal with that case.
Mr. Gompers replied that no resolution
could be offered after midnight. Mr.
Gallagher then asked if the conven-
tion could not vote to permit him to
Introduce the resolution later in the
event the committee’s report on the
subject was not satisfactory to him.
“It cannot," retorted Mr. Gompers.
It Is generally understood that Mr.
Gompers is not opposed to rendering
til the aid possible to the McNamara
brothers but he thinks all funds re-
quired should be raised by private sub-
scriptions.

In His Address the Things
That Labor Desires
Atlanta, Ga.—President Samuel
Gompers of the American Federation

day to the delegates of the thirty-

great changes in American methods of
government, particularly with regard
to political parties. He gave the ref-
erendum, Initiative and recall the un-
qualified indorsement of organized la-
bor and declared that a real, represen-
tative democracy had never been
known in the United States because
of the general absence of those pro-
visions.
“This semi-deification of judges,"
he said in defense of his indorsement,
’’tills sanctimonious cant about ‘mob
rule’ some of which was in President
Taft’s message vetoing the Arizona
statehood bill, Is mere drivel."
President Gompers' report, which
covers sixty closely printed pages and
would make more than thirty columns
in a newspaper, says it leaves many
subjects untouched or Inadequately
presented.

than 1,750,000, the greatest in its his-
tory, and its financial condition excel-
lent, the organization often called the
greatest altruistic institution of the
times enters the thirty-first year of Its
work.
In the main the report of President
Gompers declared for and says organ-
ized labor demands
The referendum and Initiative, afid
the recall.
Passage of the so-called anti-injunc-
tion bills at the next session of con-
gress.

bor.

employes from the executive orders

a revolution in Mexico, nor have I
joined In any conspiracy to start one.

meet any accusations.”

“1 am a literary man whose nervous
energy Is a great part of my stock In
trade, and ordinarily I have little pa-
tience with breakfast foods and the
extravagant claims made of them. But
I cannot withhold my acknowledg-
ment of the debt that I owe to Grate-
Nuts food.
“I discovered long ago that the very
bulklness of the ordinary diet was not
calculated to give one a clear head,
the power of sustained, accurate think-
ing. I always felt heavy and sluggish
In mind as well as body after eating
the ordinary meal, which diverted the
blood from the brain to the digeeUve
apparatus.
"I tried foods easy of digesUon, but
found them usually deficient in nutri-
ment. I experimented with many break-
fast foods and they, too, proved un-
satisfactory, till I reached Grape-Nuts.
And then the problem was solved.
“Grape-Nuts agreed with me per-
fectly from the beginning, satisfying
my hunger and supplying the nutri-
ment that so many other prepared
foods lack.
“I had not been using it very long
before 1 found that 1 was turning out
an unusual quantity and quality of
work. Continued use has demonstrat-
ed to my entire satisfaction that
Grape-Nuts food contains the elements
needed by the brain and nervous sys-
tem of the hard working public wri-
ter.” Name given by Postum Co., Bat-
