BY D‘_EIEGTIVES Gompers Says Labor Lead- .~ ers Are Watched.' | !POLiTlCS IN THE HEARING i | 3 Position of Manufacturers’ Association | in Regard to Anti-Injunction Planks } in _Platforms of National Parties Discussed in Connection With Al- ! E Stove and Range Company. ‘Washington, Sept. % .—Samual Gom- ers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, in the labor contempt 'hearfog here testified that he and oth- \er labor leaders had been frequently followed by detectives employed by James W.

He alsc said that an emissary of Van Cleave named Brodenburg had offered him a bribe at a meeting in (New York to desert the cause of labor d put the manufacturers’ associa- tion in possession of its secrets. National politics were injected into e hearing when the cross-examina- ‘ticn of Mr. Gompers was begun by |Attorney Ralston, counsel for the fed- eration. The fact that James W. Van Cleave was conneoted with the suit @gainst the federation officials and Iwith the Buck Stove and Range com- pany, with the Stove Founders’ asso- 'ciation and with the National Associa- tion of Manufacturers, of the last of which he is president, was than rought out. The witness was then asked: | “Is this the same Mr. Van Cleave who recently attained prominence hy rémson of an attack on one of the pres- deptial candidates?” Mr. Gdmpers replied in the affirma- tive, but- before his words could be oted Mr. Davenport protested. “I object to the question as immate- rial, irreevant and impertinent and Wi}l ask the court to strike it out,” he sald. | Mr. Ralston led the witness to re- [late the fact that there is a decided lognflict between the National Manu- urers’ assocjation and the Federa- tlon of Labor. Mr. Gompers told of he fight made by the manufacturers' ssociation, led by Mr. Van Cleave, to pfavent labor legislation and he read contributions by Mr. Van Cleave to merican Industries, the organ of that glscciation, in confirmation of his statement. Mr. Gompers also told of the appearance of Mr. Van Cleave he- fore the national Republican conven- tion at Chicago and said that his pur- pose there was to prevent the incor- poration of a labor plank in the Re- publican platform, Van Gleave’s Appeal Successful. Mr. Gompers said that it was in re- #ponse to the appeal of the manufac- turers, headed by Mr. Van Cleave, that the labor plank had been thrown = out. “De you know the attitude of the Nationdl Manufacturers’ association ds the attitude of President Rodfevelt in favor of a modification of the anti-injunction law?” asked Mr. Ralston, and Mr. Gompers promptly announced “it is one of hostility.” Mr. Dsavenport sought to bring out the fact that the federation also opposes the president”s position, but Mr. Gompers oxplained that the federation’s antag- JGlsm was only to the method pro- posed, while the Association of Manu- frcturers opposed any change. | \“What,” agked Mr. Ralston. “is the pigitide of the Manufacturers’ associa- towards the Injunction planks of the o political patties?” g ]Ad'i\ Gompers replied: “The attitude bl that association, as represented by Mr. Van Cleave, is hostile to the anti- jemction deciarations on the part of e Demdcratic party at Denver and e of entire accord with the declara- [ons made by the Republican party at Chicago.” Mr. Ralston then quoted from Judge Taft's speech in accepting the Repub- Hedn nomination for the presidency. “TIs it In reliance upon Judge Taft’s \deotsions that you are here today?” “It is. Judge Gould quotes from Mge Taft’s opinions in his injunction ;le%[ee." | The witness declared that a syste- g:,fi offort had been inaugurated to dés1FeY -ofganized labor.
