DEATH OCCURRED ON AMERICAN SOIL Body Will Be Taken East Tonight, and It Will Be Buried,at Tarrytown, N. Y. —Sketch of His Life. San Antonio,. Texas, Dec. 13 (By the Associated Press). —The grand old lead er of American labor in dead. Samuel Rompers was granted his last wish. He died on American soil at 4 :10 o'clock tills ■ morning, eleven hours after his arrival from Mexico City, where lie was stricken last week. The body will be taken east, leaving nl 11 o'clock tonight. Death was close at the heels of the la bor leader as he sped from the Mexican capital to the border of his own country. Fur a time he eluded the fimi enemy,'dog gedly fighting off the,issue, but death ov ei-took him as he lay in his bed in a San Antonio hotel. Mr. Rompers did not evade the challenge when it came to him face to face, neither did he give up the fight. Surrounding Mr. Rompers in his last moments were the men with whom he had fought many ok labor's battles through out a generation of American union labor development. At his bedside nud holding his haml was James Duncan, of Quincy, Mass., vice president of' the Federation,- who-had stood shoulder to shoulder with liis leader for 44 years. Their (nirting was pathetic. Holding his other hnnd was Wm. D. M n h° n of Detroit, president of the Amalgamated Association of Street and Electric Railway employes, who the dying Federation president affectionately called Bill, and whom he had told several •lays ago that he wished to shake by the baud ju*t before he wept. There were others bn less close to Mr. Rompers.' John E. Giles, treasu rer of the federation ration; Martin Ryad. of Kansas City, and Matthew meitoers 4 the, executive committee, wefe there. 'Fran* Morrison, secretary of the federation, al so was at the deathbed. There also was his nurse. Miss Mathil da May, of New York Citg, who had been with him since his illness of Au gust. She remained kneeling at the foot of his beil. Peath found Samuel Rompers as life found him-—a fighting man. He never gave up. When told by bis physicians that lie was passing, his jaw clenched as lightly asfeeble strength would permit. He breathed heavier, but he never said I give up. Mr. Rompers’ last thought was of the American inuttitution he had labored so long to maintain. When he was con vinced he could not win, he said to his -1 nurse: “Nurse, this is the ends God bless our American institutions. May they grow I better day by day.” These words took his last strength, and after that he was unable to utter a sylla ble. Until the moment when he slipped • into uheonsciousness. about an hour before his death, he was master of his own sit-, uatiou. He gave a few simple directions ' for his funeral. He talked to his follow ers. He called for lifelong friends. With all the energy that his 74 year old body could muster, he grappled with the ene my. In life he had made both friends and enemies. , In death he had only one enemy. Against that he could not prevail, and gave his soul-' with the vigorous protest that was characteristic of him. Sketch of His Life. Samuel Rompers, son of an English cigar-ranker, was the head and forefront of the American organized labor move ment. In 1881 he organised the Ameri can Federation of Labor, as a national association of labor unions, and with tbti the exception of one year, he waa its president continuously from that time. He was intimately connected with ev ery great labor dispute in this country during the past thirty years, .and headed tlae labor forces in Numerous strikes in stituted by the trade unions affiliated with the American Federation He was father of much legislation, both state and national, designed to re lieve and protect the workingman. In re cent years a large part of his time was spent before legislative committees sug ’ gesting, "supporting, and framiug labor legislation. Prior to bis founding the national lab or organisation in 1881, the labor move ment was in -the hands of comparatively small, individual unohs, in the various states, working without much real Co operation. By forming the Federation, he welded the entire movement into a nationwide, compact unit which grew to be a power in the political, commercial and industrial life of the country. Among the laws Oompers f ram ad, sup ported, or originated were: the eight hour law for government employes; the various state laws fixing hours of labor; -laws es tablishing Labor Day as the working mens holiday; the Federal Workingmen's compensation law; the law limiting th# use of injunctions in labor disputes; the law exempting Tabor unions from prosecu tion as combinations in restraint of trade;; and the law regulating punishment fair contempt of court. He was also direct ly responsible for the legtrintkm which 23&'i 3?t *“ . «hi.« « l» The legislation exempting trade unions The Concord Daily Tribune * * * ******* * & $ c TO OI R ADVERTISERS. •*• *-, - * sit Our advertising friends will kind- * 1 * ly remember that 10 o'clock Is our * I-* “deadline'’ for changing their ads. 38 j* The work is so heavy that it will be * IK impossible for us tp change any dds * I * the same day whesf copy is brought * I 3d in after 10 o’clock./ 3d lid Thin applies to the regular space, 3d , Id If you want extra space the copy 3d 3d must be in the afternoon before. 3d 3d WC wont to give every advertiser * 3d the best service possible, but we 3d 3d cannot do so unless the above is ob- id id served. 3d -3d ■! id 3d 3d 3d 3K 3* id 3d 3d * 3d 3d 3d i 77 T r 71 from the anti trust aws. regulating : pnn-, iahmeut for contempt,!'and limiting -the use cf. the injunction which was included in the Clayton Anti-trust law passed by ItHe Sikty-thlrd Congress grew out of liti gation against trade unions and their of ficials, with which Oompers was directly concerned. The contempt seetion of the Clayton Act wa.? framed; to meet condi tions which arose through the conviction of Oompers, John Mit*fo‘o aml Frank Morrison, officers of this American Feder ation of Labor of contempt of court in 11)08. Justice Daniel Thew Wright of ■the Supreme Coffin of the District of Columbia sentenced the three labor lead ers -to jail for violation of an injunction prohibiting the Federation from boycot ting the Bucks Stove and Range Co., of St. Louis. An appeal carried to life Supreme Court set aside the conviction on technical grounds, and new contempt proceedings wen- instituted. Another l conviction and sentence in tiie lower courts were set aside by the Supreme Court on the ground that, the statue of limitation had expired before the second proceedings were begun. Daring the seven years this case was | in litigation, Rompers exerted his influence to refonn injunction nnd contempt pro cedure. Court decisions holding that trade unions could be prosecuted as' combina tions in restraint of trade under the Sher man nnti-triist law prompted him- to cou ple with these reforms a demond for a specific exemption from anti-trust prose cutions for labor organizations. AH these were incorporated in the Ctayton revision of the anti-trust laws. Throughout the twenty years of anti trust agitation which followed the enact ment of the Sherman anti-trust, law, Mr. Rompers was active in urging legislation and litigation against the bis combina tions of capital which had grown up In the industrial world. He conducted a campaign against the United States Steel Coinporation which -culminated in an ex haustive investigation of that concern by a committee of the House of Represen- In his long administration of the Am erican Federation of Labor, Mr. Rompers Pis constantly called upon to avert threatened schisms in the organization, and to bring together factional elements which, developed from time to time. By his. efforts compromise after eompromise was affected, and the unity of the fedcr atiou was maintained. Throughout, he was a staunch advocate of the “trade un ion" system of abor organization as op posed to the “industrial union" system, and his efforts and those of his followers developed the American labor movement along the lines of the former plan. He was constantly called upon by unions affiliated with the Federation to act as arbitrator and mediator in labor dis putes, and he probably settled by his in dividual efforts more strikes than any other man in labor history. Samuel Rompers was born in London, England, January 21. 1850. His father was a cigar-maker and Samuel was the eldest of eight children. His mother Was a woman of excellent education and through -her influence he was led to study. Notwithstanding the fact that at the age of ten he began to help his fath er support the family. He went to school from his sixth to his tenth year and was then apprenticed to a shoemaker. This trade was not to his liking, however, and he learned the trade of his father and (chile working as a cigar-maker attended evening school for four years. He came to the United States When- he was 13 years old and worked as a cigar maker in New York City. In 1804 he fifst became identified with the labor movement when he helped organize the Cigar-makers International Union. He served as Secretary and President of the Union for six years and under his management it became a large and suc cessful organization. He aso edited the local paper of the Cigar-makers Union, the “Picket" during that time. It was in connection with this work that he be came interested in a national association of trade unions that would preserve the autonomy of the loca organizations. Un der his leadership the Cigar-makers Un ion soughs the Knights of Labor on this principle. He served as president of the New York State Federation of Labor for two years, and in 1881 founded thhe nat ional Federation, sreving as its president for the first five years without compensa tion. ■' | Several opportunities to enter public office were declined by Mr. Rom pert at different times in bis career. He refus-1 ed to run for the state senate in New | York, although offered both Republican and Democ-ratic nominations. He declin-1 ed a Republican nomination for Congress, j Governor Hill, of New Yorjr offered him a place on the state board of arbitration and President McKinley tendered him ait appointment on the Industrial Commis sion, but he declined both.

H. M. North Says the Meeting Cannot Possibly Be Held Before Re eivntKT 23rd. Rocky Mount, Dec. 12.—The report that the trustees of Trinity College will meet December 19th to consider theirust I fund offer of James B. Duke is erroneous as the trustees cannot possibly meet be fore December 23rd, according to Rev. H. M. North, member of the board atm pastor of thp First Methodist Churcn, of this city, who.spent yesterday in Dur ham in connection with college busi ness. Rev. Mr. North explained that there are certain legal requirements which must be met in determining the call for the trustees' meeting and taking subse quent action on Mr. Duke's offer. A meeting qf the executive committee of the board will be called immediately af ter formal notice has been received by the college that Mr. Duke's trust fund document has been filed in New Jersey. The committee will then issue a call for a meeting of the trustees which, in acordance with legal requirements, ‘must be sent out ten days iw Advance of the session. shat notice of the fbtifial filfng df Mi\ Duke's document was expected by the college last night or today and that if stieli is the case the executive commit tee will be summoned tomorrow. If the program is followed out. the trustees meeting will likely be set for December 23rd the first possible date after the lapse of the required ten days’ notice. In the event, however, that the notice of filing is not received in time for the committee meeting tomorro, the subse quent meeting of the trustees will go over until after Christmas. After his trip to Durham and an in side glimpse of Mr. Duke's plan, Rev. Mr. North appeared more enthusiastic over the outlook than ever. He ex pressed the opinion today that Trinity College would not become lost in the greater institution but that Trinity would be retained as an integral part, of Duke University. He declared that the mag nitude of tlie expansion contemplated at the college is almost comprehensive and that officials of the college are most en thusiastic over the outlook. The local trustee and minister predict ed previously that Mr. Duke’s offer would be accepted by the college and the name changed to Duke University as stipu lated in the terms of the donation.
