SIMM TERMSBEVERID6E OUTRAGEOUS LUI National Labor Leader Declares Candidate Is ‘Word Monger, Nothing More.’ ANSWERS PERSONAL ATTACK Invites Comparison of Own War Record With That of exSenator's. Albert J. Beveridge, Republican nomlnee for Congress In Indiana, was called an “outrageous liar" and a “word monger’’ today by Samuel Gompers, president of thè American Federation of Labor. Mr. Gompers was discussine Beveridge’s attack on him in a speech last night at Michigan City. Gompers invited comparison of thè Services he and Beveridge had rendered to thè country before, during and following thè World War. Gompers arrived in Indianapolis yesterday for a confercnce with thè president e* thè United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners regarding internai matters. He was scheduled t'**leave today for Wasliington, D. C. “I find in thè morning papera that Mr. Beveridge has tried to drag me into his controversy ar.d lnto his campaign. I welcome this attack.” Gompers said. “If there can be anything about Mr. Beveridge’s career that is more notable than any other, It is that he is a word monger, nothing more. “When he says I with othera am attempting to tax wealth out of ex istence, disintegrate industry and sovietize thè United States, there Is notlAng other than thè deserving comment that he is an outrageous liar. “I venture to compare and I invite comparison of our records as to servire he or I jierformcd during thè world struegle. A buse of Work era “There are turo features of bis speec-hes, abuse and attack on organJzed labor and his assertion of patriot!ftn. The inferenee *to be drawn from his statement is tc stigmatize those who will not vote for him.” Nor is much depender.ee to be placed in Beveridge’s party, Compera said. Gompers said he is not a Democrat. Gompers reviewed Beveridge’s past politicai record, referring to thè rime he left thè Republicana party as when he “forsook and undertook to destroy thè Republican party.” “He r.ow comes back seeking not c r.ly thè nomination of thè Republican party, but now proclaims it is necessari' for thè people to supporr him as a representative of thè Re publican party,” Gompers cor.tinued. 4 He is embodiyng in himseìf all of thè virtues and principles of thè ReI.ublican party.” No constructive thought is expressed in any of Beveridge’s speeches, Gompers declared. No Principal on which thè voters could pin faith of constructive leadership or hope for thè rights of thè masses was present, he said. “It is strange he should vent all his ! attack on thè men of labor and fail to discuss differences which may exist between him ar.d thè man who is his opponent in thè senatorial race.” Spc-ech Con tradir tory The deftlaration by Beveridge in a speech at Columbus when, Gompers said. he was supposedly speaking as a representative of thè national Administration. that he \vas in favor of abolishmg thè railroad labor board, was said by Gompers to he dlametrically opposed to thè national policy in vlew of thè fact President Harding personallv appeared before Congress and urged thè passag“ of laws glving thè l>oard thè power to enforce it3 deeisions. “T am perfectly willing thè people , of Indiani and of thè United States should decide hetween us.” Gompers said. “I don’t know of any man v.ho has given greater lielp toward , stabi’izing thè country than I have.” j He had helped, he said, in bringing ì thè laboring p'-ople of thè country, to | thè state of mind to sacrifice. Gompers said lie was trying to make . conditions more cqual between thè j poor and thè rich. ■‘lf Mr. Beveridge regards that as tryiuff to sovietize thè United States, he is welcome,” Gompers said. ~NAMES DEPUTY \V illiam Happes Sclects Aibert Sospirici? r as First Aid.
