Extra Hour Would Hurt
Defense, Says Gompers

President wilson's preparedness pro-
gram would be seriously affected by
the enactment of the Borland amend
ment, according to Samuel, oompers,
president Of the American Federation OF
Labor Mr.. Gompers expressed this
opinion in his address at the annual
banquet OF the Association OF Pattern
makers Of the Washington Navy Yard
last night.
The labor leader said a Government
could not ask men to respond to a call
for preparedness after imposing long
and burdensome hours OF labor upon
them without increasing their salaries.
lie also said the Congressmen who sup
port the Borland proposal would not be
popular with theF constituents and
throughout the country at large.
Capt. J. III. Glennon. commandant of
the navy yard. said he did not think
any economy would be achieved by i'm
posing longer hours on Government
employees.
A number OF other speakers at the
successful and enjoyable banquet voiced
similar sentiments.
