LAB0R'S PEACE CONGRESS-
President Gompers of A. F. of l. Issues
Call to Worlds Workers.


Samuel Gompers, president Of the
American Federation of Labor. has Is
sued an address to world labor III pur-
suance Of the resolution adopted In the
convention of the federation in No
vember, 1914 He said in part
The workers can refuse to be victims
of the blunderers. the evil plans the
ambitions, OF those responsible for this
war. In their struggle against oppres-
sion have been born warnings for hu-
man freedom. for better opportunities
for Justice IN life and work. During
the centuries they have made progress
sometimes SLOW, it is true. but always
progress. 1t has been long fight from
slavery to the present degree Of free
dom.
There is great opportunity in the i'm
mediate future for democracy and free
dom. A century ago the feudal system
died IN the Napoleouic wars that con
yulsed Europe, and the third estate es-
tablished their right to freedom and
participation In the affairs of govern
ment and society
Slowly but surely the workers have
been making demands for recognition
Of their rights as human beings and as
members of society and have establish
ed many Of them.
Since the outbreak Of war their eco
nomtc Importance, their political and
military power have been tacitly and
often officially recognized. Statesmen
have recognized that organizations Of
wage earners are an integral part Of
organized society-part OF the vitals
Of the nation
In appreciation OF their dignity ana
value 1t Is the duty of the wage earn
ers to make demands upon the world
assembled in the next world congress
that nothing touching the lives Of the
workers shall be determined without
| taking counsel with them Such de
mand made by the personal represent
atives Of the worlds wage earners as
sembled In the same time and at the
same place as the world peace con-
ference would have a tremendous ef-
feet upon the spirit of that congress.
Such a demand would set high
standards of democracy and would
give prominence to principles of hui
man welfare that could not be ig-
| nored.
The labor movement is the great hui
manizing, democratizing influence in
the affairs Of nations, and it must have
a place wherever the welfare of wage
earners is concerned The problem is
to have the fullest and the best repre-
sentadon In the labor congress. and
through 1t voice and influence in the
world congress.
