Samuel Gompers, AFL president, says President Harding’s message worsens industrial strains and opposes laws giving the Labor Board more enforcement power or penalties against aliens. He cautions against measures seen as slavery to workers, and labels the Herrin massacre a grave but not justification for curtailed rights.
