Gompers Calls on Labor to Standby Friends and Oppose Enemies in This Campaign Issues of This Campaign More Serious Than Have Ever Been Presented Labor Leader Attacks Taf*. WASHINGTON, D. C.— Declaring that “labor is not partisan,’ that it is neither republican nor democratic, and that the issuies of the political campaign are more serious than have ever been presented, not excepting chattel slavery, Samuel Uompers, in an editorial in the American Federa tlonist, out today, calls upon work ers’ to stand by their friends and oppose enemies, whether they be candidates for president, congress or other offices, executive, legislative or judicial. Several thousand words In length (he editorial appears to be Mr Gom pers’ contribution to the political •statements'" which have checkered the political history of the past week. President Koosevelt is told that he is mistaken when he says that "no responsible organisation would hesi tate to condemn the abures against which Judge Taft s Injunctions were aimed,” and informed that the con trary is the fact. Mr. Taft is attacked for his posi tion as regards labAr and the Van Cleave-Bucks Stove and Range in junction is termed an invasion ot the rights of free speech, “based up on the precedents furnished by Judge Taft's injunctions.” TAFT IS ATTACKED. Mr. Gompers says: ’’Mr Taft has never dons other than uphold and defend Injunction abuses. He has sever In any public utterance inti mated that he w©uld favor the en actment of labor measures to limit and define ’he InJuirHon power. Un til he does, It will not he of much avail for President Roosevelt to say pleasant thing* about him to the Wage workers. "The repJ»'loan party and It* can didate for president indorse the abuse of the injunction process, and anly promise to put a few patches on ihe method of administering the abuse. The thing to which we especially tall attcrtton In this Foraker matter is that it is evident to anybody pos ►eased of discernment that Mr. For alter may not he the only senator who accepts trust retaine*'*.' If h» were, it would hardly he possible for Mm to ’deliVer The goods’ so success lul v vear after year. It take* quit* i number of senators to defeat the will of the peopU, yet 'hey have generally done It successfully." SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT POLITICAL NEWS TODAY President Roosevelt issued a 5,000- word reply to Mr. Bryan and at the white house it was described as "Bry an's annihilation.” Mr. Taft refused to say whether he approved of President Roosevelt’s participation in the campaign, or Whether, if elected, he would pursue a similar course four years hence. It was reported that the leaders at republican national headquarters may ask President Roosevelt to be less active in the campaign. Conflicting dinner engagements pre vented a meeting in Minneapolis of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taft. The sugges tion of a meeting was made bj Mr. Bryan and was agreeable to Mr, Taft.
