GET IN THE FINALS FOR THE $85.00 Amateur Contest YOUR LAST CHANCE TOMORROW NIGHT FINALS MONDAY, DEC. 22 COLUMBIA San Francisco Montreal By DAVID LAWRENCE. (Copyright, 1984, Consolidated a Association) Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. — Will the policies of Samuel Gompers live after him? American labor's antwer to that question does not depend so much on who is chosen as president of the American Federation but up- on the circumstances, both political and economic, which in the last four years weighed so heavily upon the veteran leader who is to be buried at Tarrytown, Ni ¥., today. Few pecple know the inside pol- ities of the American Federation of Labor, its clash of viewpoints be tween moderates tnd extremists and few people know that it was by sheer force of personality that Sam- uel Gompera restrained his own deutenante. Ever since the war, the Gompers policy has been cne of prevention and when the fedcration endorsed LaFollette, it was Gompers who thought that very act would find ite own remedy. For he was against the organization of a labor party in politics, though he was being con- pressed from within to join, the raliroad brotherhoods in an ef- fort to wield the maximum political influence. In recent years, Mr. Gompers found the brotherhoods a powerful ally, but a somewhat vexatious one because the polick of the two groups frequently were opposite. Samuel Gompers, however, felt more the need of presenting a united front for labor than to reconcile even fun- damental differences between the brotherhoods and the A. F. of L. The problem that now comes up may affect the entire labor situa- tion for years to come. Will this co- hesive power be held together or will the labor groups be divided and even work against each other; Cap- ital would profit by such a situation, even work against each other? Cap- currents of dissension are strong and only a Gompers can keep labor un- ited. Even a Gompers, however, has to have a favorabje atmosphere. The last year saw Gompers’ policy of har- mony tried to the utmost. For the sake of harmony inside the ranks, he agreed to permit the American Federation of Labor to endorse the LaFollette candidacy. He had the cunning of a practical politician and even those who bitterly criticized his occasional waverings and even reversals, knew that, with Gompers, the end justified the means and that he usually was vindicated. For many years as Gompers has been advancing toward the end his career, the leaders of the |: r movement have been discussing what would happen when he left. It has not been unlike the discussion of twenty years ago as to what would happen to the loose!y constructed Austro-Hungarian monarchy when Franz-Joseph died.

College Woman Thinks Faster he Casver Dailo Tribune WILL POLICIES OF GOMPERS LIVE? IS QUESTION RAISED BY PASSING OF LABOR CHIEF been made that the American Fed- eration of Labor would split off into two groups—the conservatives and radicals. There is no doubt that with- in the federation there already is such a sharp divirion, but it was the Gompers policy to yield'a pcint here and there to the radicals and thus keep labor's power unimpaired. Will his successor be able to do it even if he follows the same policy? The test may not come a for just now there is nary period of prosperity or inf tion. Unemployment is not altogether removed as a factor and immigra- tion restriction is not yet accomp ish- ing all that labor set out to achieve. The real troubles usually occur in a time of inflation and shortage of labor, when higher and higher wages are demanded. ‘ Politicaily, Samuel Gompers lean- ed toward the Democratic party. He Was @ powerful influence in the Wil- son administration, an experience, however, which tended to make him even more conservative than before, for he was often given the responst- bility for the sett'ing of a trouble- some situation, something that put him on the defensive. But Samuel Gompers was not able to deliver the labor vote in elections, valiantly as he tried. His was a rule over labor leaders and not the rank and file, though he had thousands of admir- ers in the local unions from coast to coast. He had a knack with the leaders. He showed them often how they could retain power. He taught them labor politics. It was to his interest to do so. The longer the chieftains stayed on the job, the stronger was the political organization working for Gompers inside the American Federation of Labor. They were proud, too, of the position he won in the public eye, the forcefulness of his public statements and his keen understanding of the changing cur- rents of public opinion. When some of the employes of the Washington navy yards, for example implored him to act in thelr behalf and keep labor from mixing up in the movement to reduce armaments, Gompers was not dissuaded but gave his hearty support to the propcsals of President Harding and even agreed to sit as a member of the ad- visory commission. He felt that labor which bad always argued for world peace could not be inconsistent’ and that, in the long run, labor would benefit through the expanded com- merce and shipping of peace time prosperity. Questions like these, con- flicts between administration policy and labor's objectives. frequently happen. There is always a straining at the leash on th liculs, Gompers has gone. Will his philos- ophy and polic: dopted by labor leaders or will they bogin the inevit- able quarreting which characterizes minority groups? The death of Gom- per is not merely the passing of an individual. It is a critical point in the labor history of America.

This was in- dicated from a series of tests de- scribed here today by Dr. E. A. Moss before the annual convention of the National civil service reform league. He told of a civil service examina- tion for chauffeurs. College stu- dents and professional taxicab op- erators were used. Two revolvers were mounted on the underside of the running board of an automobile. One was fired by an examiner pulling a wire and the other was fired automatical'y by the application of the brakes by the driver, The test was to determine how quickly the driver's brains got in motion to stop the car after hear- ihg the first shot. The average time of all was around a half second. It took .590 of a second for a college man’s brain to telegraph to his foot resting on the brake pedal, but it only took .559 of a second for a college woman's. It only took .413 of a second for the taxlecab driv 5 Valuation Of Railroads To Be Completed ASHINGTON, Dee. 18. -— The recommendations of the Interstate Commerce Commission that the fi- nancial valuation of railroads be completed in the next two weeks ap- Pears likely to receive the support of President Coolidge.
