SAMUEL QOMFER8
In the week. Uls last words were
spoken to his nurse about an hour
before be died. Realizing that he was
losing Hie battle so stubbornly fought,
he turned to her and whispered :
"Nurse, this the end. God bless our
American Institutions. May they grow
better day by bay."
Shortly before he lapsed into the un
consciousness which presaged the end,
Mr. Oompera gave a few simple di
rections for his funeral and bade a few
life-long friends farewell.
Saturday night the body of the labor
chieftain, sleeping In a massive bronze
casket almtllar to that In which Preal
flent Harding was laid to rest, was
itarted omJts long Journey to the na
tion's capital, accompanied by JUs
friends and associates. There were no
services at tbe mortuary w-here the
body reposed Saturday.
The government, whose hands he
had upheld In peace and In war, step
ped In to claim the body for the whole
i ]
American people and through the Unlt
sd S tate« arm y, the Am erican people
officially took back their dead. His
last words were : "God bless our Amer
ican. Institutions," and orft of those In
stitutions, the United States army—
claimed that he belonged tA them as
much as to anybody. Roldiera from
Fort Sam Houston were assigned to
the escort Not only labor possessed
him, they said, but the country also.
Sleeping In his great bronze casket
tn a flag-draped house of death, tbe
late president of the American Feder
ation of Labor, drew to himself
throughout tbe day the men of labor
and the men of capital, those who work
tn field and factory, those wjio knew
him only ss a name «Ad those who
knew him as a loved and loving com
panion. All filed past the massive cof

were roped off, while the dty, which
ere this has seen the tramp of many
feet, passed In its fretful rush to cling
for a suspended moment viewing his

him go.
The cosmopolitan metropolis of the
Alamo, with Its soldiers. Its sojourners,
from all states and Ita adopted sons

Compara' Career
History will find a distinguished
place for the Uf * and accomplishments
of Samuel (Tempers. His name will be
written beside those of men who glad
ed the nation through Its latter day
trials and eventually, sacrificing them
selves on the altar of patriotism,
brought it safely past the breakers of
war. Industrial strife and general un
rest which threatened time and again
to bring disaster upon It
The recognised leader of organised
labor In the United Sûtes, a diplomat
of world-wide reputation and a writer
of marked ability, Samuel Oompera
took a powerful part in bringing the
war with Germany and Austria-Hun
gary to a successful conclusion, From
the minute be became leader of organ
ised labor In America Oompera had to
fight He was fighting day and night
for the ideals he and his followers
thought wor(h dying for, and this early
training stood Mm in good stead when
he was put to the real teat in 1017, the
year America declared war.
Born In England on January 27,1880,
a son of Samuel and Sarah Oompera,
he received hla early education In the
British Isles, hut came to America
when still a boy. At the age of IS,
when most boys of today are Just com
pleting their first schooling and play
ing marbles, Samuel Oompera embark
ed on bis stormy career as a labor lead
er. He was then a cigar maker, work
ing for a weekly wage, that today
would scarcely keep a man alive 48
hours.
From the minute Oompera realised
the plight of his fellow workers and
decided to try to correct their misfor
tune* he had to battle,
that was prepared and v
ordeal It knew moat sooner or. later
But the youthful organiser
against a foe
waiting for the
come.
worked so steadily for the success of
the movement to organize American
working men and incorporate them In
one great powerful association that he
soon became recognised as the real
leader of labor In this country. He
was one of the charter organizers of
the American Federation of Labor, and
became Its president in 1882, which
position he held until the day of his
death, with the exception of one year,
1894, when John McBride of the min
ers' union defeated him.
Oompera* battle on behalf of the
worker did not end with hts duties as
president of the American Federation
of Labor, arduous though theye were.
He was editor of the federation's offi
cial organ, the Federatlonlst, and he
waged his fight so hard In the columns
of this magasine that he eventually be
came Involved in trouble with thé
United States supreme court, arising
from bis criticism of the injunction
granted In the famous Buck Stove and
Range cate.
When Germany had been crashed
and the peace congress was called to
meet In Parla, Sarouel Oompers. the
former cigarmaker, was sent over to
take care of American laboring men's
interests. What he accomplished there
and at the International labor congress
held in Amsterdam tome weeks later,
cannot be Judged at tMs time. Poster
Ideals have been given a fair trial
Oompera, however, viruslly domina
ted the labor conference and was re
sponsible for the rejection of a plan
which would have given unimportant
little nations with total population* of
less than 200,000 equal voting power
with such natlous as Great Britain and
the United States, which reprenant mil
lions- of workers. Under the Oompera
plan the voting power of the nations
was regulated according to the popula
tions of the various governments con
cerned. -
Oompers returned home covered with
honors. He was a passenger on the
transport George Washington, the
same vessel that carried President Wil
son to and from the peace conference.
At the annual session of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor at El Paso.
Texas, to November, 1924, Mr. Gem
pen wae elected president for the for
ty-third time. That session waa fol
lowed by a Joint meeting of the Ameri
can Federation of Labor and the M»cl
ean Federation of Labor, sessions of
the Pan-American Federation of Labor
and the inauguration of President
Calls« of Mexico, which officials of all
federations attended at Mexico City.
In Mexico Olty Mr. Oompera was the
victim .of recurrence of an aliment
which has kept him more or leas an
Invalid for some years. Complicated
by a slight cold and aggravated by the
high altitude, the aged labor leader
was unable to attend the closing cere
monies of tbe Inaugura Mon.
Gompera was the personal friend of
six American presidents—-McKinley.
Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson, Harding and
Coolldge.

GERMAN! BECOMING WARLIKE
Interallied Military Contrai Body Bay
Versailles Provisions Not
Carried Out
Paria.—The process of conciliation
between (Germany and the allies, par
ticularly with France, has received a
setback, It la feared in French circles,
by the report of the interallied military
control mission to Germany, to the ef
feet that the provisions Of the Ver ;
sallies treaty concerning disarms men!
are not being carried out
The allied commission, according to
the report, has found that the German
general staff continuée Ht deliber
ations. as it did before the war; that
the German anna factories are turn
ing out ne* war materials and that,
contrary to the treaty, there ia in Ger
many an effective force of soldiers far
surpassing the limit fixed by the Ver
sailles pact
,, The commission complains of Innum
erable hindrances put ln the way of
Its work. Them hindrances, R wan
stated, did not, however, prevent it
from discovering factories Installed for
the production of arms and montrions
and the finding of secret stocks of
newly-manufactured rifles and cannon.
The opinion in French official circles
Is that Germany's activities la re-es
tablishing her military equipment and
keeping up an unauthorised trained
force of men, is more directly threaten
ing to Poland than to France, because
She has less to gain from war than
from the conciliatory negotatlong
which the new French government has
Inaugurated and because the revenge
feeling in Germany runs much strong
er against Poland than against France.
