GOMPERS ON LEGISLATION
Labor Leader t rges Passage by Coa
Kress of Namber of Bills la
Interest ef Workers.
WASHINGTON, May l.-Responding to a
letter from Representative Brumm of the
Twelfth Pennsylvania congressional district.
President Oompers of the American Feder
ation of Labor has written a letter In which
he strongly urges that congress shall re
main In session long enough to enact cer
tain legislation which he enumerates. In bis
letter Mr. Brumm says:
X wish to say. that I solemnly protest
against the proposed early adjournment of
congress, aa it will be Impoasible to act
upon and pass -such legislation as Is de
manded by the people and asked for by
the president. I will be willing to Join with
others to Insist upon the several bills be
ing brought out of the committees and
acted upon promptly. There Is no disguis
ing the fact that Speaker Cannon Intended
to prevent legislation on the lines referred
to In the president's mesaage and consign
other bills to the congressional crematory,
known as the judicial committee.
Mr. Gompers finds In Mr. Brumm'a com
plaint of the speaker justification for his
opposition to the continuation by Mr.
Cannon of thai office, and then taking up
the question of early adjournment, says:
Surely no one will be fooled should con
gress adjourn early to avoid tns passage
of the Important measures which are
awaiting conalderation and action. Those
members who ars responsible for legislation
or for failure who will vote for adjourn
ment before the enactment of tiiese meas
ures may Imagine themselves in a fool's
paradise, but I am confident that the people
will hold them responsible for the vote to
adjourn as though they had voted against
the measures to which I refer.
He enumerates the following as the meas
ures which labor will Insist shall be acted
on btforo adjournment:
The Wilson bill amending the Blierrnar.

the Injunction writ to its original and
