RIGHTS OF'LABOR.
NEW YORK, April,,, 2. President
Gompcrs of tho American Foderation of
Labor defended'Jhp uso of tho boycott
today beforo the New York Council of
the National Civic Federations.
Addresses by: Professor Frederick. J.
Stimson of Harvard, and Professor John
Bates Clark of Columbia, atirrcd him to
speak.
Professor Stimsdn referred to the re
cent proceedings against Gompcrs and
others in Washington.
"A blacklist is unlawful," ho said,
"but a whito list widely commands, is
lawful. In the Gompors caso there was
a proved combination by n number of
persons to influence the public not to
trado with a stove company. If this
announcement rfcgarding tho stove com
pany had been printed but onco, it
would bo fair to 'assu'mo It a matter of
news, but printed, in every number for
years, with the. announced intention of
doing so in all .newspapers, possible forf
tho purposo of coercing the stovo com
pany, most jurymen would decide that
those facts showed a primary intention
to molest the stove company."
3ompers said, in reply:
"I am not a lawyer and tho quib
blings of tho lawyers as to tho legality
or illegality of certain acta by labor
organisations is not .for mo to deal with.
But as to what is fundamentally right,
I think I am. qualified to speak. If the
laws do not properly safeguard tho
.fundamental rights of:thoiaboTor, then
they should bo changed. I know that
labor haa tho right to organizo to pro

power to work or to give or refuse its"
