From the most reliable statistics
available there are 465,000 workers
killed and maimed annually in the
United States. Of that number 10,000
are killed, 55,000 disabled for periods
exceeding 13 weeks, and 400,000 in
capacitated from work for more than
three days and less than 13 weeks.
There is a movement to organize all
the unskilled workingmen in Montreal,
Can., into a big federation along the
lines of the Knights of Labor which
existed in that city about 20 years
ago.

ANSWERS
G0MPERS:
t
Certain definite charges were mads t
by Samuel Gompers agnins-t Eugene c
V. Debs, presidential candidate of the
socialist party. These charges were
published in the “American Federa- 1
tionist” for September. No proof ac- I
companied them. None ever will be 1
presented, for the charges are abso- e
lutely false. The only thing which t
they prove is the character of Gom- t
pers. c
Two principal allegations are made
in this attack upon Debs. e
Gompers’ First Charge. t
Mr. Gompers: says “He (Debs) or- <
ganizcd the American Ralhvhy Union 1
and became its president in rivalry .
to the organization whose official he 1
still was. He worked and platted tor (
the destruction of the organiaztion of '
which he was a responsible official.” <
The Truth of the Matter J
The truth is that when E. V. Debs •
decided to form the A. R. U. he went ’
before the convention of the Brother- *
hood of Locomotive Firemen and after 1
explaining his plans to them tendered I
his resignation as secretary-treasurer 1
and editor of the official organ, which 1
positions he had held for thirteen
years. During this time there had *
never been a candidate nominated or ’
a vote cast against him. The con- 1
vention unanimously refused to accept 1
his resignation, although its members *
thoroughly understood that he was 5
about to undertake the organization of 1
the A. R. U. On the contrary they
unanimously re-elceted him. But he 1
felt that he should not hold the office £
and again tendered his resignation, in- *
sisting upon its accetance. When the *
convention saw that he was determin- *
ed to resign it voted unanimously to 7
give him $2,000 with which to take a €
vacation. A check for that amount '
was handed to him, but he refused to s
accept it and the check remains un
cashed to this day.
Furthermore, within the- last year a ‘
special official invitation to renew his
membership has been extended by tiie
the B. of L. F. Finally he now has
in his possession an official invitation
from the governing body of that or
ganization asking hm to become the C
official guest of the B. of L. F. at its *
next grand lodge meeting. The men
who have extended this invitation do
not agree with him politically, and 1
would not do these things did they ’
consider him a traitor to their organ- 1
ization.
Gam pers’ Second Charge !
Mr. Gompers says of the A. R. U.
strike of 8194: "Wlien a large number ■
of men in the American Railway Union
responded to Mr. Debs call to strike,
and many became blacklisted and vic
timiezd, he advocated and finally se- :
cured the abandonment of the Amer
ican Railway Union, and thus left his 1
men high and dry without the slightest
organized protection.”
The Tiuth of the Matter.
Had this statement been made by
an official of the citizens’ aliance it
might be possible to lead ignorance as
an excuse. It is but a variation of the
frequent charge of the enemies of or
ganized labor that strikes are called ,
by union officials. But Mr. Gompers
cannot plead ignorance. He was in
an official position during that strike
and played a part which he will not
care to have recalled. Therefore, he
will not dare to deny that when he
penned that statement he knew that
Debs opposed that strike to the very
last and that it was nflally decided up
on by a unanimous vote of the whole
governing body of the organization.
Far from deserting the men. Debs
stayed and fought with them even
while a president elected by the poli
tical party for which Mr. Gompers is
now asking the support of organized
labor sent Federal troops to shoot
down the strikers. Mr. Gompers was
at the head of a greatl abor organiza
tion at that time. Let him explain
what assistance he gave in this hour
of desperate need, when Eugene V.
Debs stood fighting for the men who
had trusted him until he was impris
oned and his organization disrupted
and destroyed. Today thousands of
those old A. R. U. men are fighting
and working for the success of the so
cialist party. Their action speaks
louder than any words as to whether
Debs betrayed them "In their hour of
need. ~ •
Gompers’ Third Charge.
Mr. Qompers makes another charge.
He says:
"When Mr. Debs was secretary of
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and editor of its official magazine
that organisation held one of Its con
ventions In Cincinnati. He had given
the order tor the convention printing
to ae oncern which had a eonteet on
with Hie Cincinnati Typograhjcal Un- j
>n. A committee of Cincinnati Union
'rlnters called upon Mr. Debs to ask
im to use the influence of his posl
lon to urge the printing company to
ome to an amicable agreement with
he union, or, failing In that, to give
lie convention printing to a union
ouse. Did Mr. Debs comply with
hat request? Not a bit of it. He In
ulted the committee and told them
e wanted nothing to do with them
r their union.’
The Truth pf the Matter.
This statement is a plain malicious
e. No such incident ever took place,
los uch committee ever came to Debs,
fo printing was given out by him to
ny non-union house. Let Mr. Gomp
rs either produce some member of
hat committee or stand convicted of
owardly malicious lying.
Here are some facts concerning the
ctions of E. V. Debs in relation to
he Typographical Union while he was
diting the Journal of the B. of L. P.
Vhen he took editorial charge that
ournal did not bear the union label,
n order to secure the label he re-or
;anized the Typographical Union of
’erre Haute, that had fallen into de
ay, and by so doing placed upon that
ournal the first union label ever plac
'd upon an organ of any of the Rail
ray brotherhoods. From the time he
ook charge of the publications of the
J. of L. F., not a single piece of
irinting of that organiaztion was ever
iut out that did not bear the union
abel.
Not only did he reorganize the Typo
;raphical Union of Terre Haute, but
le has either organized originally, or
eorganlzed every union now existing
n Terre Houte, and for years he was
nvariably placed in charge of every
trike called In that city, no matter
[•hat unions might be involved.
It would be easy to extend indefl
dtely the story of the services render
d by E. V. Debs to the cause of or
anize-d labor. Hundreds of testlmon
ils might be presented which have
ieen tendered him by various organi
ations testifying to the success of his
fforts in organizing the very unions
rhich are now paying Mr. Gompers’
alary. He has been given medals,
pecial endorsements and votes of ap
roval almost without number by local
nd national bodies, besides, for his
ervices in these direction.
It is not for E. V. Debs to justify
is career as a unionist, tl is for Mr.
lompers to prove his charges or stand
onvicted as awilful falsifier and tra
ucer of one whose whole life has been
levoted to the cause of labor.

IT MADE A
DIFFERENCE
(From George Ade's "Breaking Into
Society.”
Once there was an Employee who
was getting the Nub End of the Deal.
He kicked on the long Hours and the
small Salary, and helped to organize
a Clerks’ Protective Association. He
was for the Toiler as against the Main
Squeeze.
In order to keep him simmered
down, the Owners gave him an In
terest. After that he began to per
spire when he looked at the Pay Roil,
and it did seem to him that a lot of
big, lazy Lummixes were standing
around the Shop doing the Soldier act.
He learned to snap his Fingers every
time the Office Boy giggled. As for
the faithful old Bookkeeper who want
ed an Increase to $9 and a week’s va
cation in the Summer, the best he got
was a little Talk about Contentment
being a Jewel.
The Associate partner played Simon
Legree, all except the make-up. The
saddest moment of the Day for him
was when the whole Bunch knocked
off at six o’clock in the Evening. It
seemed a Shame to call Ten Hours a
Full Day. As for the Saturday Half
Holiday Movement, that was little bet
ter than Highway Robbery. Those
who formerly slaved alongside of him
in the Galleys had to address him as
Mister, and he had them numbered the
same as Convicts. ,
One day an Underling ventured to
remind the Slave-Driver that once he
i had been the Friend of the Salaried
Minion.
“Right you are,” said the Boss, "but
when I plugged for the lowly Wage
Earner I had never been in the Di
rectors’ Office to see that beautiful
tableaux entitled “Virtue Copping Out
the Annual Dividend.’ I don't know
that I can make the Situation clear to
you, so I will merely remark that all
those who get on Our Side o.f the
Fence are enabled to catch a new
Angle on the Salary Question.”
Moral: For Educational Purposes,
every Employee should be taken into
the Firm.
