H Gompers’ Warning Unnecessary. | The statement issued by Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, in Washington last night. warning the republican party against sponsoring anti-or- ganized labor issues in the 1924 cam- paign still was a subject of comment today among members of the Presi- dent's entourage. The general opinion remained that such a warning was unnecessary, because, regardless of the press::-e exerted to bring about a declaration by the. republican party in favor of tho open shop. leaders were firmly opposed to any such step and the President was described as un- ylelding to such influence.

Senator Smoot has just returnea to Washing- ton from Utah. “The present price of sugar,” said Senator Smoot, “is but the carrying out of the program of the sugar re- finers.
