sAML. eoMPERs AGAINST WAR
Hopes No War Will Come, but Puts
Nations Honor First.

Washington.-Samuel Gompers, the
of Labor, in a recent letter sets forth
his position as to international poll
tics. The letter was addressed to E.
Bohm, secretary of the Central Fed
Grated Union Of New York.
There are some things that are
even more abhorrent than war, that is,
to be robbed of the birthright of free
dom, justice, safety and character.
Against any attempt Of any person or
group Of persons or nation or nations
who may be engaged in an effort to
undermine or destroy these funda-
mentals of normal human existence
and development would not only
fight to defeat it, but prevail upon
every red-blooded, liberty and human
ity loving man to resist to the last
degree.
"The United States will not volun-
tarily enter into the present European
war; OF that l am confident. We shall
keep out of it if we possibly can with
a degree of faithfulness to the funda-
mental principles of justice, freedom
and safety. If, despite our reserve and
self-ontrol we shall be dragged into
it whether we like it or not, there will
be but one position for US to take, and
that is to be true to ourselves, true
to our fellows, true to the highest
ideals of humanity for which our
movement stands.
