Eliot of Harvard College, in an address deliveted before the Economic Club, Boston, November 10, In Buffalo, Jan. 22, 1903, President Eliot, speaking before 1500 high school pupils, said: “In 1896 I took occasion to say in a public speech that ‘a scab is a hero.’ nothing wrong in the remark.” On November 18, 1902, at New Orleans, the A. F. of L. passed resolutions condemn- ing Mr. Eliot’s remarks as an uncalled for attack, but Mr. Gompers don’t care for that, for he was, and often is, the guest of President Eliot at the Exchange Club, a notoriously unfair || place and under the ban of the Central Labor Union. Now why does the lover of scabs (Mr. Eliot) so love Mr. Gompers and Mr. Mitchell ? Why does President Eliot dine our President and curse the rank and file?

In what way have they been betrayed?

In the meantime, how- ever, Schardt is seated and the Chica- go Federation has as much power in the convention as if it had not defied the convention by non-obedience to commands by the executive council of the American Federation.
