Mit- chell’s telegram declared in favor of making the fight solely thru a labor party. “By what right,” wrote Mr. Gomp- ers, “do you assume to declare the work and the policy of the American Federation of Labor to be impracti ? Surely the results achieved in the in terests of the workers demonstrate the utter fallacy of your asumption. “By your declaration you assert the practicability of.the course you declare you will pursue. What experience 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 the day of reckonening 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 guilty even tho they clothe their ac- tiohs in the robes of pretended friend- ship. “When you shall have learned the les- son of the real struggle labor and the cause for which our movement stands, you may become penitent for the gross injustice you have done by your pre- tention and penitent for the gross justice you have done by your pre! tion and your course, “The effect of a separate political labor party can only be di trous to the wage earners of our country and to the interests of all forward looking people.
