POLITICAL LABO OPPOSED BY Federation of Labor Head Says Sep. arate Party- Would Please Labor's Eneiens. Aomper*s Takes Issue with Indiana Labor. :Washington, Feb. 22.-Formation of a political labor party .would be "det rimental to the interests of labor and exictly in line with that which is most ardently desired by those who seek to oppress labor," Samuel Gompers de clared in a letter to \Villiam Nlitch, of Indianapolis, a leader of the Indiana state laibor party, made i)ublc here today. Air. Gomiers %wrote in reply to a telegram fi'omI Mitch and his associ ates supporting the action'of the In diana state labor pqrty in opposing the political declaration of the Ameri can Fcderation of Labor calling on organized working men to elect their friends and defeat their enemies. Alitch's telegram declared in favor of mnak ing the fight solely through a la bor party. ".1y what right," .Mv. Gompers' let ter vaid, "do you assume to declare the work and the policy of the Amueri can Federation of Labor to be imprac tical. Surely the results achieved in the intere(st of the workers demon strate the utter falacity of your as 1111ption. "JBy your declaration you assert the practicaiily of the course you de elarc, you w'Ill pursue. What experi ence have you had with your political party upon which to base so absurd a claim? "Of this one thing you may rest as sured that lie day of reckoning is at hand for all of those who are in an tagonism to the cause of labor, and for those who are subtle and equally gull ty 'even though they clothe their ac tions in the robes of pretended friend ship.

"The effect of a separate political labor party canl only be disastrous to the wage earners of our country and to the interest of all forward looking people. The votes that would go to a labor party candidate would, in the absence of such condition, go to the best man in the fleld. In no case would they go to anl enemy of labor. "There can be no hope for success of labor party candidates. The effect, therefore, of a political labor party vill be to defeat our friends and to elect our enemies. "lfabor can look upon the formation of a political labor party only as an act detrimental to the interest of Ia bor and exactly in line of that which is most. ardently desired by those who seek. to oppress labor. "The welfare of American humhn ity demands in thin hour of national erisi that there be success at the polls. This is no time for experi menting with political theories which are p 'oven false at the outset. The workers of America must use the tac ties of success. They must have re stilts. "llestilts will not be obtained by in jecting a labor party, so-ealled, into the struggle. ""'hose who are determined to be blind to the facts of the present and past will, of course, rush on to dis aster and calamity. This the Ameri can labor movement will not do. It rejects and repudiates the fallacies of blind theorists and will have nothing to do with those treachermous foll!cs that are suilted only to the purpose of lahor's enemies. "Your telegram is- an affront to the labor movement and an assault upon the interest of that great body of Americans who are determined that the present campaign shall result, not in the destruction of our liberties, but in the opening of the way to national progress and the enlargement of op porltiunities fo hman welfare, safety and happiness."
