SAYS ENEMIES SEEKING THIRD POLITICAL PARTY Electing Friends and Defeat ing Antagonists Only Suc cessful Plan for Working Men, Asserts A. F. L. Chief. Washington, Feb. 22. Formation of a political labor party would be "detrimental - to the t interests of labor and exactly in line with that which is most ardently desired by those who seek to oppress labor," Samuel Gompers declared in a let ter to William Mitch, a leader of the Indiana state labor party, made pub he here today. tiav. Mr. Gompers wrote in reply to a telegram from Mitch and his as sociates supporting ' the action of the Indiana state labor party in op posing the political declaration of the American Federation of Labor calling on organized working men to elect their friends and defeat their enemies. Mitch's telegram declared in favor of making the fight solely through a labor party. "By what right," wrote Mr. Gom-1 work and the policy of the Ameri can Federation of Labor to be impractical? Surely the results achieved in the interests of the workers demonstrate the utter, fal lacy of your assumption. Claims Are Absurd. "By your declaration 3-ou assert the practicability of the course you declare ycu will pursue. What ex perience have you had with your political party upon which to base so absurd a claim?-- -f-w ' "Of this one thing you may rest assured, that the day of reckoning is a hand for all of those who are in antagonism to the cause of labor and for those who are subtle- and equally guilty even though they clothe their actions in the robes of pretended friendship. "The effect of a separate political labor party can only be disastrous to the wage earners of our country and to the interests of alj forward looking people. The votes that would go to a labor party candidate would, in the absence of such can didate, go to the best man in the field. In no case would they go to an enemy of labor. "There can be no hope for success of labor party candidates. The ef fect, therefore, of a political labor party wUl be to defeat our friends and to elect our enemies. "Labor can look upon formation of a political labor party only as an act detrimental to the interests of labor and exactly in line with that which is most ardently desired by those whr seek to oppress lafyor. Affront to Labor.' "Those who are determined to be blin1 to the facts of the present and past will, of course, rush on to dis aster and calamity. This the Ameri can labor movement will not do. It rejects and repudiates the fallacies of blind theories and will have noth ing to do with those treacherous fol lies that are suited only to the pur poses of labor's enemies. "Your telegram is an affront to the labor movement and an assault upon the interests of that great body of Americans who are deter mined that the present campaign shall result, not in the destruction of our' liberties, but in the opening of the way to national progress and happiness." v Make Another Gambling -Foray in South Omaha Another large gambling house at Twenty-sixth ana Q streets.

The taxes, which were a novelty in government finance, remained, however, a part of the American fiscal system and were one rff the monuments to the young genius who was first sec retary of the treasury. The farmers, whose principal crop was grain, had great diffi culty in. getting their goods to market in a form other than in liquor because there were few roads in that early day and besides that they had a traditional hatred for the excise collector and the state of Pennsylvania never had been able to enforce the regula tions. ' ' . They rallied in protest against the federal law of 1791, tarred and feathered the tax collectors and visited similar treatment on citi zens who sympathized with the law. Late in 1794 Washington with patience exhausted and determina tion aroused, ordered 15.000 mili tiamen out under Gen. Henry Lee of Virginia. The leaders of the gang fled at the approach of the troops which took several hundred prisoners of whom two were con victed of treason, but pardoned. Twenty-fjjve hundred troops re mained in the disturbed region trough the winter, the disturb ances died away and the law went into operation. ; Republicans Endorse Wood for President At Manila Convention Manila.
