One of the Most Interesting Hearings Ever Given Held Yesterday by House Committee on GOMPERS OBJECTS TO EPITHETS Applied by Attorneys Opposing the Bill--Presentation of ponent's Side by Davenport of Connecticut--Told of Dangers to the Country if Men Were Restricted to Eight Hours, From Wuhlngton Bnretit Of Tnt Qalveaton-DalL-u Newi. Washington, j-Vb. at tne most In tereatins hearing ever given on the eight- hour labor bill was held this morning be fore the House Committee on Labor, and in (he course of It thrre were many trailed exchanges between the representatives of employers and Samuel Compere, president of tho Amurican Federation of Labor. Gompers left here thin evening for Porto Klco, but delayed his journey long enough to denounce the "representatives of whom he charfied with referring to tho l.ibor luaders as "blatherskites. 11 "incencU- arios" and "socialists." At one time It looked as though there might bo a personal encounter between Mr, Gompera and Judge -McCummon, represent ins tho Anti-Boycott -Association of the Unltod States.

itr. Davenport made the clearest statement oC the dangers attending tho operation oC an clfiht-hour bill that has ever boon given to the Committee on Labor, treating the subject "from a philosophical and practical standpoint." He quoted certain socialistic, resolutions which had been adopted in substance by a large number of labor organizations, and which tended to Incite collisions between capital nnd labor. The resolutions called upon th.i laboring: men to use their political influence to protect their Interests between their employers. The Interests ha represented had baen alarmed at the growth of such socialistic doctrines, nnd tho question of tho relations between capital and labor transcended all local interests. "If God should call you tonight, gentlemen of the committee," he said, "could you KJ with your minds easy as to the welfare your children If you know the doctrines like these were In existence and spreading?" Many, not all, of the labor loaders are socialists, ho declared, using the labor organizations to advance the causo of socialism.

They teach thft widespread disregard of the rights oC others to the protection of society and the repaid of the law, nnd Instill hostilities against capital tho minds of labor. demand dfu- cnminaling legislation, ui.d in times of strikes demand tho discharge of who by their employers and the reinstatement of others dismissed because they opposed their employers. Tlwy bring the courts into disrepute, ho said, and attack them publicly and In their journals.

Secession and slavery were local Issues, while this Is "eatinpr like a cancer into the vitala of our Institutions.

Before Madam ftolaod was executed, she turned to a statue of liberty art 'How many are committed in Utt' ftuuV 1 ftirK how haa labor come to Congress to aak legislation to deny the individual workman the opportunity to labor?" He told of the origin of tho Anti-Boycott Association, which hud sprung up "because of the persecution of a hat manufacturer of Danbury, whom organized labor tried to ruin by putting in practice tho teachings of Mr. Gompera In his juurnal." In the course of his work in this connection he had visited many factories and hud "heart to heart talks" with the workmen. put to them this question," he said, "Would you be In favor of a law which deprived you of the privilege of working more than eight hours a day if you wanted to? I never found one who favored such a law." Running his eye around the room and finally addressing Representative Hearst, in particular, he said: "No greater risk was ever assumed by any party or man than to put Itself or himself on record as denying tho workman the right, to woi-k.

If you want to teat this, put such a plank in the platform in your congressional district and see what happens, but don't attempt to put through such a tyrannical law as this without giving tho American people a to express their opinion." He said that under the provisions of this law the workingmen would not be permitted to labor more than eight hours a day, and It would DO the rode on which the bill would founder. He anticipated endlesa litigation between the Government and contractors and between contractors and subcontractors in tho atempt to enforce such a law. Ha pointed out that the subcontractors would have the right of trial by jury, which wljl be denied the contractors, whoso suits would havo to bo brought In the court of claims.

"I have no tears to shod," concluded Mr. Goiopexs. "Does Mr. McCammon want to insinuate that I am not, telling the truth?" later demanded Mr. Gompers, approaching the Judge.

"I uevtr thought Qi such a tiling," replied Judge McCummon, slowly raising from his chair, and glaring; at Compere il-om his six-foot-three height.
