Norfolk, Va.,, Nov. 22.—President Gompers created a sensation at the American Federation of labor meet- ing when he told of an attempt that was made to bribe him. Charles Brandenburg, the man who made the offer, President Gompers said, declared that he represented the National Manufacturers’ association and was prepared to offer him im- munity from all exposure and make him financially secure for the remain- der of his life if he would sign a cer- tain paper and otherwise aid in the “exposure of the other leaders of the American Federation of Labor.” The paper, President Gompers said, was to purport to have been signed when he (Gompers) was ill in 1895. 'This paper, Mr. Gompers said, he had preserved and while deathlike still- ness prevailed in the convention Pres- fdent Gompers drew forth the original { document and read it. The speech of Mr. Gompers covered forty pages of typewritten copy and | was an ‘“‘expose” from the viewpoint of President Gompers “of the National Association of Manufacturers and its ramifications.” President Gompers took up and an- swered in detail the charges brought against him and closed an impassioned speech with these words: “All that I now have to add is that there is not a scintilla of truth in anything published or which can be published by the National Assoclation of Manufacturers or their hirelings ‘which in any way can reflect upon the integrity, the morality or the honesty | of myself and I have the abiding faith they cannot be so of any member of the executive council of the American Federation of Labor. I defy our en- emies to do their worst.” ON VERGE OF FREEDOM. Murder Suspect Confesses When Re- lease Is in Sight.
