GOMPERS TALKS
TO LABOR men
TRADES UNION CONGRESS AT
PARIS ADJouRNs TO MEET
AGAIN IN 1911.

Paris, Sept S.Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor, addressed the international
trades unions congress again yester-
day. He denounced international
strike breaking and declared the sys-
tematic immigration OF workmen in
times of depression and strikes in
other countries to be one of the great
est menaces Of organized labor.
Mr.. Gompers' proposal for the or
ganization OF an international fedora
ton Of workmen could not be dis
cussed because the American Fedora
ton of Labor is not affiliated with
the European unions. but a British
resolution OF the same import was
adopted. The conference then passed
a resolution against workmen OFFER
ing their services at times when
docl1men and stevedores go out on
strike.
The conference adjourned to meet
at Budapest In 1911. mr.. Gompers
thanked the delegates for the cour-
tesies extended to him.
