Mr. Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, will deliver a lecture upon "Organized Labor's Potency for the Common Weal" on Thursday evening, April 27, at 8 o'clock in the Living Room of the Union, under the auspices of the Phillips Brooks House Association.
Since he was fourteen years old Mr. Gompers has been identified with efforts to organize labor, believing that in unity working men can treat with their employers on a more equal basis. He is responsible more than any one other man for the present strength of labor unions in this country. He is a cigar maker by trade, and was one of the founders of the American Federation of Labor, of which he has been president, with the exception of one year, since 1882. Mr. Gompers is also the author of a number of pamphlets on the labor question.
The lecture will be open to members of the Union and the Phillips Brooks House Association.
