SAMUEL GOMPERS' LABOR DAY
MESSAGE TO AMERICAS WORKERS

must establish industrial justice in
war production at home. For work
ers are serving the cause just as
much as soldiers in the trenches
though not so conspcuously or with
such hazard.
The basis upon which our repub-
lie should ask its workers to give
service is adequate representation
Of all agencies determining govern
ment plans and methods of carrying
them into effect.
Progress has been made toward
this end but the workers do not
feel that it has gone far enough to
assure the toilers their rights. Just
methods for insuring justice to
workers are the only effective means
by which their united cooperation
can be secured for the war and by
which the menace of terrorism and
industrial anarchy can be removed.
The members of organized labor
have demonstrated their patriotism
and their appreciation of the coun-
try's need, by their patience and
their service even under conditions
which they could not justify
On this day dedicated to Labor,
the thoughts of all workers may
we'll be directed to this problem
which involves both humanity and
country. 1t is a problem that is of
fundamental Importance in securing
democracy and freedom the world
over. The new world relations
which Labor hopes to create through
the instrumentality of this war must
bring freedom and humanity in the
vital affairs of life the world over.
Let every worker and every labor
organization on this day plan for
the realization of their greatest ideals
by effective practical demonstration
and action.
The clouds of war hover above US,
the world Of pain, suffering and
travail clutch at our very heart
strings, but beyond them and the
sacrifices is a sunbeam of encour-
agement and hope; just a glimmer
of victory in the end; glimpse of
the sunbeam which will burst into
full monday of glorious triumph,
of peace with justice, freedom and
democracy for all the peoples of the
world.

and temporarily stranded, some per-
manently poor, some eking out petty
incomes or alimones in the cheapest
villages of Bavaria, SaXony or
France. The Hoovers took charge of
the commission for their relief. The
operations of the committee at the
Savoy hotel, wholly American and
wholly unpaid, showed the marvellous
tact and skill with which American
folks can handle a new situation.
About 5000 Americans were sent
home, and several times that num-
Der gained temporary relief. The re-
lief of 100000 of Belgians against
democratic famine working day and
night" was a problem of infinite di-
mensions, but Hoover tackled it as
part of the days work. If Belgium
saved Europe" as my good friend
Sarolea says it did, then America
saved Belgium, and Hoover was her
agent.

Labor Day, 1917, dawns upon a
world convulsed in a titanic struggle
for fundamental principles-future
world institutions are in the bal
ances.
Our own Republic is girding itself
for battle.
For nearly three years the strug
gle had been waged before our ma
ton was drawn in-but our partici-
patton was made inevitable not only
by the manifold inter-relations be-
tween nations but by the nature of
the principles involved. AS between
democratic freedom and bureaucratic
despotism no nation could remain
neutral.
No organization within the United
States has had more correct UNDER
standing of the issues and the dan
gers involved than the organized
labor movement and no element is
more important in enabling the ma
tion to take effective part in defense
of our position.
A nation preparing for war must
begin with its industries. Since war
was declared the needs of the gov
ernment have become of paramount
Importance in industry and com
merce An economic reorganization
is taking place. The economic CEN
ter has gravitated to Washington
and the new economies make neces-
sary direct relations and an under
standing between workers and the
government. The government can
not deal with these workers individ-
ually and therefore must deal with
their representatives, A represen-
tative capacity is only possible where
organization exists. With this un-
derstanding the American Fedora
tion of Labor has been trying to pro-
tect the rights and interests of all
workers by securing the establish
HlellC ol agencies 4oI uedlIilS with
matters affecting those engaged in
war production.
Problems growing out of the
work are problems that affect the
lives of workers. They are there
fore important to our nation and
government not only from the stand
point of material effectiveness but
of ideals. A government fighting
for freedom and democracy abroad

the territorial partitions, and so on,
of the nineteenth century, still pre-
vailing in Russia as a republic?
"The whole outfit of inherited
tradition on this subject has gone to
the junk pile. Russia today is sing
gularly free from any of those old
cobwebs 1t cares nothing whatever
about the congress of Vienna or the
treaty of Berlin. 1t cares about moth
ing, as a matter of fact, except the
realization of it's dreams, of the CO.
operative commonwealth, universal
brotherhood, and universal goodwill
and the main reason why the element
in favor of the war grows daily is
because more men perceive that
these dreams can never be realized
until the earth has been freed from
the menace of German militarism and
autocracy."
"To come back to the matter of
pernicious peace talk in the Amerl-
can congress, why is that any worse
to the general cause of all the allies
than is the demand of Russia for
peace and no annexation" Mr.. Rus
sell was asked.
"You must understand that the
United States stands in relation
to Russia different from that of any
other country. The activity of Great
Britain in the war is to Russian eyes
of obvious origin. Russians also
understand that, while France IS
fighting for democracy, it is also
fighting for Alsace and Lorraine.
Italy is generally, although l
know enormously, viewed as fight
ing only for Trentino and Trieste;
The labor journal. [volume] (Everett, Wash.) 1909-1976, 1917-08-31

but the. first proposition that the
Russians heard in regard to the
United States and the war was
that the United States had come
in for disinterested purposes.
"This thought made at first a
peculiar appeal to many a Russian
altruist. The German propaganda
was able to create some impression
that the United States was really
as selfish and metarialistic in its
aims as any other country, yet
the fact remains that the United
States is essentially in a better
position in Russia than any other
country.
Now, then, when it is made to
appear to the average, intelligent
Russian that the United States is
giving up the war, he jumps at
once to the conclusion that there is
nothing to fight about and that the
United States will swiftly lead the
rest of the allies to conclude a
peace.
"Of course, this is utterly
fatal to the fighting spirit
Equally, of course, it is utterly
prepOsterOus, because the United
States cannot by any possibility
back out of this war and Great
Britain and France have not the
slightest intention of making
peace until their objects have
been attained. So the net re-
suit of the peace propaganda in
America is to strike down the
arm of Russia and leave her
unprotected against sweeping
German victory that would leave
the allies and the United States
in most painful position.
But the Americans ought to un-
derstand that the real issue of this
war has nothing to do with com
merce or trade or territorial addi-
tions by any nation. The real is
sue of the war is whether the world
from this time forth shall be demo-
cratic or autocratic. If that can
become the firm abiding faith of
every American, and if it can be
impressed clearly from America to
Russia, Germany will never break
through that line; democracy will
never fail in Russia and the free
dom and progress of the human race
are secured"

THEY WILL BOYCOTT
SCAB LUMBER

The Seattle Building Trades
Council took decided stand against
1O-hour lumber in the passage of
resolutions last Friday night, the
gist of which is found in the fol-
lowing telegram to Senator Jones,
which he read to the Senate:
"Organized labor of Seattle, and
probably of all Washington, will re-
fuse to handle lumber except from
eight-hour mills after September /,
shipyards included. Central Labor
Council urges eight-hour clause in
government contracts, or, better, to
commander and operate sufficient
plants to supply industries immedi-
ately."
Senator Newlands of Nevada said
he believed it would be necessary for
the government to fix not only the
hours of labor, but the price of lum-
Der.
President Wilson has been inform
ed of the development.

AMERICA MUST
NOT DISCOURAGE
THE RUSSIANS

Charles Edward Russell, recently
returned member of the Russian
mission, is enthusiastic over the
Russian democracy, and makes some
suggestions to aid that struggling
people. His discussion of the eff
feet of pacifist and pro-German
propaganda here upon the Russian
democracy is particularly worth
study. Russell maintains that every
such activity in America opens the
way by that much for the German
soldiers to march into the heart of
Russia and that one of the essen
tials of Russian strength is unity
in America to fight solidly and Wig
orously for democracy.
Here are the two most important
questions asked of Russell and his
answers to them:
"Are any of the resentments Of
the Russian government against this
or that European nation growing
out of the wars and the treaties and

in stead of holding out the mere
cl lance of gratuities after the con-
e usion of peace. 1t saves the de-
p endents from want and gives them
I he necessaries of life while their
men are at the front. 1t deals with
it's heroes literally for the suffer-
ings that result from their disable
ment on the field of battle, and, if
they die, it makes just provision for
the loved ones who survive them.
1t fosters the helpless and dependent,
the MANNED and disabled, and recog-
nizes the immensity of the nations

her heroic sons.

liberal protection ever extended by
any government to its fighting
forces and their dependent families.
The United States, the most pro-
gressive and prosperous nation on
earth, setting an example in the
ideals for which enlightened hu-
manity is fighting, should set the
highest example of all the nations
in the treatment of those who do
and die for their country and for
world freedom.
We are proposing to. expend dur
ing the next year more than ten bill
lion dollars to create and maintain
the necessary fighting forces to re-
establish justice in the world. But
justice must begin at home; justice
must be done to the men who die
and suffer for US on the battlefields
and for their wives and children and
dependents who sacrifice for us at
home. To do justice to them re-
quires only a tithe of the money we
are expending for the general OBJ
jects of the war. Let it not be
said that noble America was ignoble
in the treatment of her soldiers and
sailors and callous to the fate of
their dependents in this greatest war
of all time.

gives compensation, not pensions; it
fixes amounts definitely in advance

MEANEST NORWEGIAN

An Aalesund, Norway, newspaper
printed a story of contemplate
meanness of a Norwegian ship cap
tain, a translation of which was
printed in last Saturdays Seattle
Star, as follows:
when the steamer Rannveig, of
Bergen, Norway, arrived at Aale-
sund, Norway, about the middle of
last month, the rumor of the Off
GERS action in signalling a German
cruiser at sea and delivering to it
young Englishman who had got
ten away from German prison
camp, and slowed away on board
the Rannveig, had already reached
the city and other cities on the
coast, and the reception rendered
the ship clearly shows the senti-
ment of the Norwegian people to-
day.
"a great crowd, mostly young
men, had gathered at the docks,
and they soon gave vent to their
feelings towards the chief officer,
who was supposed to be RESPONSE
BILE for the strange turn of Nor
wegian hospitality.
There were yells and jeers, and
all kinds of language and names
were flung at the officers. Rotten
potatoes, bad eggs, rocks, etc, vir-
tually hailed, and the officers had
to seek cover under deck immedi-
ately, and were not to be seen
above deck as long as the ship was
in the harbor.
Several times some of the
bravest of the boys on shore en-
tered the ship. One, with a big
rock in his hand, smashed the glass
in the skylight. Another went quietly
on board, lowered the Norwegian
flag, folded it nicely, and hoisted a
rag, saying that the Norwegian flag
was too good and honorable to fly
from such a ship. 1t had to have a
flag of it's own.
when a tug boat passed the
ship on the bay it greeted the
Rannveig with a similar flag. The
organized longshoremen refused to
work on board the ship, and the
police did not seem to take any in
terest in quieting the crowd. At
last all lines were cut by the
crowd, and the ship had to leave
the port"
