Gompers Pleased
At the Result of
1 Tuesday's Voting
Nonpartisan Political Policy
of Labor Federation More
Completely Justified Than
Ever Says Leader. ,
Washington, Nov 5. (By The As
sociated Tress.) Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federa
tion of Laborf declared today in liis
first statement on the outcome of
J"ueday9 elections that "every for
ward looking man and woman must
fee! some deep regret because of the
great plunge towards reaction."
"Jiut democracy will right itself
nt the proper time," said MV.
Gorrpcrs, "and meanwhile the actual
tabulation of results in congress,
the lawmaking body, shows a
definite and Specified gain for all
that makes for progress and re
sponds to the n?eds of our time."
Mr. Gompers asserted that every
man in the house vhose "record oi
service was perfect had been re
fcted." and added that the new
congress would show an increased
number of men who hold union
caYds.
I Policy is Justified.
The nonpartisan political polity of
the labor federation, Mr. Gompers
continued, "is more completely jus
tified than ever and the futility ot
' separate party action more convinc
ingly demonstrated."
Referring to th,e congressional
elections, Mr. Gompers said incom
plete checking already showed "that
50 congressmen who were inconsid
erate and hostile have been defeat
ed." "ThisH's one of the most impres
sive features of thel entire election,"
said he. "Fifty time servers have
ben .beaten. '
"Against these 50 the working
peojUe have elected, from 55 ito 60
men whose records show fair and
considerate service. This represents
a clear gain for integrity in gov
Union Men Elected.
Gompers t,aid it was probable
congress ot at least ou union
men and said it was probable that
the final counting would show the
election to congress of "more than
20, possibly .25" union men.
, "The nonpartisan; campaign of the
American Federation of Labor," the
veteran leader continued, "was pri
marily and most effectively a cam
paign in congressional districts. Its
results were gained- in the primaries
and in the election. These results
will serve a's a constant reminder
to all servants of special privileges
and the ever-pres?nt and always im
, pressive fact will be before the new
congress that 50 of the unfaithful
and the hostile were defeated by the
organized workcis of our republic.
Will Publish Unfair List.
"A notable American has said, 'I
woud ratlier be rght than be presi
dent.' To'be engaged in a righteous
cause, to fight for freedom, for jus
tice,' for peace and human brother
hood, is of . greater concern to the
human family than is a passing suc
cess. "The labor movement of
America recognized the tremendous
struggle of the masses of people in
all history to obtain the right, and

"Shortly the names of the men who
have been fair ;nd just mK who
have been re-elected rnd those who
have been unfair and antagonistic
and defeated will be published by the

Washington, Nov. 5. Substantial
progress has been made by the State
department and the Japanese em
bassy in the drafting of the new
commercial treaty which will give to
Japanese natjdiiaU. in , the United
States equal rights with the na
tionals of any other nation in this
country.
While the. text has not been com

it will be finished in sufficient time
for transmission by President Wil
son to the senate for ratification 'be
fore Senator Harding is' inaugurated.
It is estimated that about one month
is required for the completion of the
drafting.
The State department and the Jap

the principles involved in the nego
tiations, mctuainjj me iiew agreement
in which Japan .wfl promise to re

New York, Nov. '5. A bank

"With the changing times bank
