THE EVENT A.F.OF L. FOUNDER TELLS OF PROGRAM Labor and Capital Closer Than at Any Time in 50 Years, He Says. ®7 the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 7.—Labor day of the golden jubilee year of the Amer- ican Federation of Labor find labor and capital in closer accord than at any time in its fifty years' existence, ac- cording to George W. Perkins, one of the few organizers of the federation still living. Perkins, now 75 years old. voluntarily retired as international president of the cigar makers' union after 35 years in that office. He has been throughout his career a close associate of late Samuel Gompers. Took Economic Course. In 1881, when th> federation was founded in Pittsburgh, Pa., its course ‘was set on economic rather than politi- cal action. Despite the urging of other then strong labor groups, the Red Revolutionary Labor Party, the Knights of Labor and later the Social- ist Labor Party, the federation held true to its first counsel, advocating only shorter working hours and Dbetter wages. Perkins recalled that wages in 1881 were meager, with skilled workers in building trades getting only $1.25 per | day. Hours were proportionately long before the federation’s eight-Four day program was generally adopted. “Now,” the veteran labor leader said, “the intelligent portion of business has come over to labor's side. They are advocating the high wage as the real foundation of American prosperity. Started With 50,000, From its original 50,000 membership in 1881, the federation has increased to its present strength of more than $.000,000. “In 1881, sald Perkins, “there was no precedent for the American labor movement to follow. The leaders were !enernlly foreign-born. Gompers, whom first knew in 1880, was a native of England. “The best of the foreign-born workers soon found that political freedom, which was the object of European labor move- ments, was alreadv in the possession of American labor. What we needed was economic freedom. Gompers and we who were associated with him took that road. The radicals followed the by- paths of political action to their virtual extinction.” Perkins still is active in the organi- vation and will_attend its convention at Vancouver, British Columbia. next month. He is president of the federa- tion’s Union Label Department. SPANISH WAR VETERANS MEET AT NEW ORLEANS Federal Pension Program Stirs In- terest as Delegates Join in Open- ing Sessions Today.

HATFIELD WARNS LEGION OF “REDS” Holds Duty to Be Alert Against Foreign Theories of Government. By the Associated Pre HUNTINGTON, W. Va., September 7—United States Senator Henry D. Hatfield, addressing West Virginia mem- bers of the American Legion in conven- tion here today. urged them to remem- ber that peace-time service “is as neces- sary and important as war service, and said that considering conditions all | over the world “it must be apparent to you that it is your duty to be ever alert lest some foreign theory undermine the American system of government.” Referyyng directly to communism, | Senator Hatfleld said the seed of that doctrine was sown during the World | War, “and it has continued to develop | not unlike the little snowball that be- gins its flight at the mountain peak and gradually gathers additional body as its momentum is increased by its precipita- tion. This communistic force has seized upon the opportunity presented by the. depression existing today in our own land and other nations to a far greater degree.” Hatfield quoted Representative Carl Bachmann of Wheeling as saying he be- lieved the “Federal Government should take precautionary measures to guard | against this alien revolutionary con- spiracy. aimed at the heart of our Gov- | ernment.” Brazil will electrify the Central de Brazil lines.
