' Labor was the ouly solidh united, one-idea, delegation Its lines were never broken. It knew what it wanted, i naked for it, fought for it and fail ' mgto get it, bolted the conference The most unenviable position oc cupicd bv any set of delegates was that of laboi. It was understood be foio the conference assembled that there was ill-concealed dissension in the ranks of labor. Samuel Gompeis and some of his associates had been bitterly opposed bv the radical clement I The T. W, W. nnd the half-baked lend , crs of the foreign element with Bolshevik ' tendencies were fighting to oust the looscpativc Amcucm leaders and gain I i ontrol. The extremists and syndicalists I a.rc threatening the stability of the or- ganization. I Conservative labor lea.leis quite as, much as employers and capitalists feari this radical clement. Labor leaders aie "'going along" in many things, not1 that they prefer to, but because thev must or else turn the labor ship over to those who ultimatelv would scuttle! 5t or run il on the rocks labor's Mistakes In theii real to demonstiate the strength ot their lcadeiship they made serious mistakes in the conference. The I second resolution introduced, which called for arbitration of the steel btnke bv sir members of the conferenVc was a mistake. It was foredoomed to defeat The conference was new. It had de velopcd no program and the strike reso lution plunged it into a hopeless con trovcrsy that could get it nowhere Then the pcople'8 group, foolishly and Ttithout careful consideration, started Jinother back fire. It was as liaimful to the orderly conduct ot the confer encc as tho Gompers resolution. It was the now famous resolution defining col Xrctlve bargaining, Uusscll, the So clalist, was tho author of it It was a regular Pandora's bor It let loose not only the question of collective bar gaining, but the vital issue of the' "open shop," the rights of nonunion workers nnd tho issue precipitated In Judge Gary whether or not nn emplover was obliged to negotiate with individuals who were not in his craplov Never for a moment did the two groups most vitally intciested, employ ers and labor, get into closo and con fidential conference, ranch less direct personal touch, where thev could dis cuu their differences. Their lepie xentatives on the steering committee were their onlv means of contact. Then labor, disregarding the request of the President, walked out of the conference very well knowing that its action would disrupt the organisation. Compelled to Do It Hut labor was compelled to pursue this course. To hate accepted the defeat ot the two measures quietly and continued in th-o conference would have furnished the radicals, thn Rolsheviki nnd the I W vV with n W8r cry that would haw been direful in nil probability to the present leadership of the American Veil eration of Labor. Mr Gompers and his auociates had'the choice of leaving the conference or risking their supremac) ' an' leaders of the Americau Fecdratiou of Labor. It has been charged that Gompcr.s was springing the jack-in-the-box of holahevism on the ernplovcrs and the eenference ; but no man who has talked heart to heart with conservative labor leaders but knows that the fear of tfe "Red terror" with them is a very present thing.
