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.
"'When you shall have learned the
lesson of the real struggle of labor
and the cause from which our move
ment stands, you may become peni
tent for the gross injustice you have

done oby your pretention and yourt
course.
"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."
