New' York, May 29.— S amuel Gomp- ■ers, president of the Amercan Feder ation of Labor; Governor Henr j Allen of Kansas and an audience of more than 4,000 persons, which Hilled Carnegie H a ll to capacity last night debated the operation of the Kansas Industrials Relations Court. H a d the meeting been held in the open air the speakers could have addressed fully 10,000 persons, for there were as m an; turned away as gained adm ittance to tho hall. On several occassions the audence took matters entirely out of the hands of tlie principals in the,debate, hurling question after question from faction to faction and at the speakers, who joined in pleading with the crowd against interruption. From the start to finish of the de bate there was no rancor. Gompers opened hs first talk w ith the declara tion that the time has come when it m u s t be determined whether justice is to hold sway of be supplanted by injustice and tpranny os of old. “You can njake the laws w h a t you w ill,” he declared, “but if you outlaw strikes your laws will be a failure and you w ill merely make criminals of honest and law-a'bding workers.\ H e compared the Boston Tea Party to a “strike” against England and said industrial autocracy was being forced on the people of the United States. “To work or not to work is the hu m a n right and not tbe right of gov ernments, of Legislatures or of courts,” he said. “That is what we contend an d w ill contend forever.” Governor Allen, in his first presen taUon of argument reviewed the K a n sas coal strikes, which resulted in the passage of the law establishing the State Industrial Court. 1-Ie precipi tated a near riot with the statement, a few moments later, that tho law had “only taken away from Gompers his divine right to order a man to quite w o rk.” Boos and cheers mingled in one great roar. The demonstration lasted several minutes and had to toe quelled by the chairman. Before the timekeepers called time Governor Allen read a question in which he asked President Gompers how he would protect the interests of tlie public in a strike which threat ened to cut off commodities anti en danger the health of tbe people at large. Gompers immediately arose. “An innocent child can ask questions his father or mother will not be pre pared to answer,” he said. The audi ence was not satisfied. Cries of “An sw e r! Answer!\ came from all sides, and he said he would attempt to do “before I die.” The labor president was continually interrupted. On one occasion he shook his fist toward a heckler and shouted: \ I f you don't shut up I'll sit d o w n !” The fire of questions and re m a rks from the audience continued, however, until the end of the debate. “I w a n t to say that I have never or dered a strike in m.v life of two men, more or less.” Gompers declared. “ W h o does order strikes?” he was asked from the gallery. “Go home and find out. Take yonr special train back to Kansas,” he re torted. Governor Allen in his rebuttal charged that it was labor who ran the cost of the war for America into the billions. He also declared that Presi dent Gomp?rs’s advice to members of the American Federation of Labor to “vote for candidates who hold union cards” was an attempt to ‘’unionize Congress.” Both statements were booed lustily by tlie laborites and cheered l>y the K a n s a s delcgaFon-smd other.Allen-fto!-.
