BOSSES "IN BAD."

Samuel Gompers Easily May Inform Himself as to Labor’s Resentment. Samuel Gompers, Democrat, is to be asked to make speeches for the Democratic ticket in Indiana this year. Mr. Gompers made Democratic speeches two years ago. He has made Democratic speeches for many years, as a partisan. He went further than that in 1908, and without any great success attempted to lead working men into the Democratic camp. He will find, if he visits Indiana this campaign, which is extremely doubtful, that Indiana. Democrats, as now controlled, are “in bad” with the wage-earners. Mr. Gompers ought to investigate closely, and inquire carefully among labor men of Indiana before too loudly espousing the cause of the Democratic bosses who betrayed labor in this state in 1908, and in the legislature of 1909. There are many Indiana Democratic workingmen who will inform Mr. Gompers of the facts, it he wishes to know the truth about Indiana. Indeed, he needs go no further than the files of the labor press of the state, to learn why he should stay out of the state this year, of all years.
