James Duncan, president of the Gran ite Cutters' National union, has been 8laced in the field to oppose Samuel ompers for re-election as president of the American Federation or Labor. It is said that the opposition to Gompers is led by John Mitchell of the Mine Workers and Daniel J. Keefe of the Longshoremen's unions, both of whom are-members of the-executive council of the American Federation of Labor. Ru mor credits John B.-Lennon, treasurer, and W. J.

It is said the shrewdest wirepullers in the American labor movement are behind the movement to defeat Gkm pers, and they claim that they have al ready enough votes to accomplish their aim. While all declare him a remark able man, and his honesty and sinceri ty in the labor movement is unques tioned, they say that changing condi tions demand that the policy of the American Federation of Labor should also change. Few men of prominence in local union circles believe that Mr. Gompers can be defeated, and it is said that the opposition comes principally from an element in the federation which h^as been for years endeavoring to commit the organization to socialism.
