that the United Mine Workers are just
as liable for breach of contract as any

The suit, officers of the company said,

New Bullet Will Pierce
Nearly Inch Of Steel or 20
Men Standing in Row

New York. Oct. 24-Army officers
who have observed the tests of the
new armor-piercing bullet now in
progress at Sandy Hook proving
grounds are enthusiastic over the re-
suits. The bullet is of only 80 caliber
and can be fired from the regulation
army Springfield rifle. At a distance
of fifty yards the projectile ploughed
through sheet of steel three-quarers
of an inch thick and then penetrated
the silhouette target planted behind
the steel plate. 1t is believed that one
of the new bullets could be fired clean
through from ten to twenty men
standing in a row.
The bullets are tipped with a piece
of steel encased in lead. which acts as
lubricant when the bullet strikes
steel and thus aids penetration. The
projectile which passed through tar
gets in recent tests were but little dis
torted. It is pointed out that the
great value of the bullets will be

Worlds Trade Unionists Inuited
ToMeetinL Labor Peace Congress

President Gompers of the American
Federation of Labor has issued an invi-
tation to trade union centers thruout
the world to send representatives to a
labors world peace congress to be held
at the same time and in the same city
as the representatives from the differ
ent countries will meet to determine the
terms OF peace at the close OF the pres
ent war. The A. F. OF L. convention,
held in November, 1914, four months
after the war began, adopted resolu-
tions indorsing this plan. At the A. F.
of L. convention last year detailed plans
were approved, altho President Gompers
suggests that this plan "is necessarily
flexible and broad"
The letter has been translated in
French, German and Spanish, and is for
warded under authority of the A. F. of
l. executive council.
Will Foster Democratic Ideals
President Gompers assures the worlds
organized workers that the American
Federation of Labor does not offer any
plan or theory as to what the members
of the congress shall do, and that its sole
interest is to organize this worlds con-
gress OF labor that democratic ideals
may be included in the terms OF peace
He says, in part:
The proposal to hold a labor congress
was generally discussed by the various
national labor organizations during the
past year and some of them have Off
cially approved the plan
In other countries thought is concen
trated on the immediate and compelling
problems of daily life-problems so urg-
ent that all else must wait upon the
future We appreciate the intense strain
with which our fellow workers OF Europe
await the outcome of the days struggle
on the battlefield and the ultimate de-
cision OF the war.
Proved Their Patriotism.
Everywhere the wage earners by serv-
ice have proved their loyalty to con-
cepts OF honor, their patriotism, their
value as men and women. In the past
they have borne not only the burdens
Denver labor bulletin., 1916-04-15

OF fighting during the war, but have
been weighted down by the war debts
and readiustments attending return to
peace conditions.
The workers can refuse to be the vic
Tins OF the blunderers, the evil plans
the ambitions OF those responsible for
this war. In their struggle against op-
preston have been born warnings for
human freedom, for better opportunities,
for justice in life and work. During the
centuries they have made progress. It
has been a long fight from slavery to
the present degree of freedom.
Rights As Human Beings.
There is great opportunity in the i'm
mediate future for democracy and free
dom. A century ago the feudal system
died in the Napoleonic wars that con-
vulsed Europe, and the Third Estate
established 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 established
many of them.
Great Humanitarian Force.
"In appreciation of their dignity and
value, 1t is the duty OF the wage carneEs
to make demands upon the world as
sembled in the next world congress that
nothing touching the lives Of the work
ers shall be determined without taking
counsel with them. Such a demand made
by the personal representatives OF the
wage earners assembled in the same
place and at the same time as the world
peace congress would have a tremendous
effect upon the spirit and the detefmi-
nations of that congress.
Such 4 demand would set hign stand
ards OF democracy and would give prom
inence to principles OF human welfare
that could not be ignored
The labor movement Is the great hui
manizing, democratizing force in the af
fairs of nations, and it must have
place wherever the welfare of the wage
earners is concerned"
