MEXICO CITY, Dec. 11.—Samuel
Gonipers, "father of the American
Labor movement,” and head of the
American Federation of Labor, died
this morning at San Nicolas, a small
town near San Luis Potosi, a mes-
sage to the leader’s friends here this
afternoon said.
Gomper’s heart failed (completely
in the • high mountain ranges as the
train speeded With him toward the
country of his adoption, while phy-
sicians battled to pull him through
until lower altitudes could be reach-
ed. .
The American Labor Leader had
been in Mexico for the inauguration
of President Calles. He was taken
from the train last night at San Luis
Potosi, Mexico, for examination, and
physicians expressed opinion that
his condition was not grave as was
at first reported. He was scheduled
to reach Laredo, native soil, at 6:45
Friday morning.
Gomper’s life is the story of the
rise of a poor immigrant boy, who
landed in this country penniless and
unknown, destined later to become
the ‘‘father of the labor movement iff
America” for it was through his ef-
forts that the Labor Federation was
nursed from a sickly infant tt> the
great power that Jt is today.

the war, speeding up ship yards and
