reasons. The radical socialist members
felt that Gompers was very strongly op~
posed to them, and the president's own
action during the convention has done
much to defeat him. He was ill when he
came here. and his rulings have been no-
ticeably arbitrary and erratic. More than
once he has lost his temper, and oeuiaion-
ally he has reversed his own rulings. The
feuding generally is friendly to Glilllpiil'fi,
but the election of McBride is regarded as
a good choice.
Commons. 0., Dec. lit—John McBride,
the newly elected president of tho Amer-
ican Federation of Labor, is recognized
here as one oi the most conservative of the
labor leaders of the country. Concerning
the policy of the organization when he
shall have assumed the duties of its exoc-
utivo oflice Mr. McBride preferred not to
talk, but considering his conservative
course through years as the head of the
miners' organization of ”the country the
friends here of the new president who
aro'vory close to him naturally expect a
continuation of this course in his new po-
sition.
