NEW YORK, July 7.-School teach

lauded by Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
in an address here tonight before the
national educational association. He
declared organized labor has nothing
to offer teachers except "opportuni-
ties for freedom The labor leader
warned educators to beware of phil
anthropic organizations, and ''founda-
tons which seek to dominate the ed

of instruction in public schools than

Gompers said "The public schools are
the only educational institutions avail

He added that 80 new arsenals had
been provided and that 1000 controlled
firms are producing munitions. The
total of munition workers in 1914 he
said, was under two millions, and there

labor problem, Mr.. Kellaway asserted,
