any labor representatives to the Stock
holm meeting.
During the previous week British,
French and Italian Socialist and labor
groups decided to send representatives to
Stockholm. At that time their respective
governments interposed no objections.
Apparently they saw no reason for inter
fering. Labor in the Allied countries
seemed a unit in favoring representation at
the Stockholm meeting. They were not
going in search of a peace Of compromise
which would leave peoples in suspense and
at the mercy of fresh wars, it was said.
In the United States tie State Depart
ment reiterated its refusal OF passports,
and Samuel Gompers, as head Of the
American Federation of Labor and as an
executive member of the Council of Ma
tional Defence, denounced the scheme.
Mr.. Gompers. furthermore, explained the
stand he took-explained it upon a basis
of plain patriotism:
"The working people Of the United States
are now doing everything within their power
TO help their country in its war against i'm
perialism and autocracy. The Kaiser
and Prussianism must be crushed, whether in
ternally or externally, or surrender to the
demand of the democracy and civilization OF
the world"
And on top of this came the assurance
from the American Alliance for Labor
and Democracy, of which Mr.. Gompers is
the head, that labor cannot afford to mix
in the councils of a possibly premature
peace while labor's chief foe, autocracy,
still pursues its savage course:
"The American labor movement as body
is loval TO America and steadfast in its de-
termination to help secure victory for this
country and the cause Of democracy. IN pur-
suing this course il must be recognized that it
is necessary for the labor movement TO take
steps from time to time to preserve working
standards This, as a matter of fact, is nee
essary in the most effective conduct of the
war. 1t has nothing to do with those anti
American, pro-Kaiserist activities of which
the Peoples Council is the promoter, and is,
in fact, exactly in opposition to them"

Bernard Shaw ventures an opinion con-
corning the value of the conference at
Stockholm:

there for. Some Socialists are imagining that
they have something 10 do with the war ana
that they will nave an important part in max

they will have nothing whatever to do with
the terms. whatever desires they might have
on the matter"
It would be more than fortunate II the
United States escaped the industrial war
experiences through which Great Britain
rassed in the earlier stages of the strug-
gle. According to "The Baltimore Sum-"
this country is suffering from a slight at

which embarrassed the British govern

THE Effect All This May
l Have on Russia

Not to suppress this movement at once
also endangers Russia, "The New York
Times" points out, drawing a parallel be-
tween the misleading reports sent from
Russia to this country and those sent from
here by pro-German elements. concerning
American dissatisfaction with the war:
Among the Washington dispatches an
nouncing Senator La Folettes peace reso-
luton and other 'pacfst activities Of the
day, that published in The World and writ
ten by Louis Seibold is distinguished by
delicate humor. Mr.. Seibold begins bis dis

would be interpreted in that struggling
democracy as breach in American unity

In the councils abroad it appears to
Rave been understood that Mr.. Gompers
was acting with the knowledge and ap-

Compere-Morel, a member of the French
Chamber of Deputies, wrote in "L'Hu-

gram from Mr.. Gompers stating that
American labor could not possibly be rep
resented at such a gathering. Mr.. Com
pers said that he, personally, would be on

TIME Labor Crisis" in England pre-

TIME Labor Crisis" in England, pre-
cipitated by the resignation of
Arthur Henderson from the Brit
ish Cabinet over the governments refusal
to give passports to labor party delegates
to the Stockholm Peace Conference, brings
interest to bear again upon the riddle Of
labor's reaction TO war.
In the United States, the American
Federation of Labor, the largest body of
organized workers, with Samuel Gompers
at its head, is aligned with the war-mak-
ing machinery of the country. The In
dustrial Workers of the World for all its
cutlery is not American labor
European governments, on the other
hand, have been forced TO make greater
and greater concessions to industrial la
Dor.
In Russia the military forces and labor
have Joined hands to create and conduct
government, and the articulates among
the Russian proletariat have asked their
prototypes in all other countries to do
likewise. The tendency elsewhere in Eu-
rope is for labor to combine with all radi-
cal elements in opposition to the govern
ment
In France the greater part of organized
labor is wholly Socialist; while French
unions are anarchistic, none are what one
would term conservative. Therefore, la
boris point of view must have been con-
tanned in that of the Socialists, who are
willing to send delegates to the Stockholm
Peace Conference only provided 1t IS
agreed to beforehand that:
"The proletariat Of the nation attacked has
claim to the aid of all prolstariat Of all ma
tons. whether belligerent or not, an aid which

simple protest to armed Intervention, against

proletariat That role it leaves to the In
dustrial Workers of the World. Perhaps,
after ALL the fundamental difference be-
tween European and American labor is
one of condition. The American skilled
worker is the autocrat of labor"
In England Lloyd George has said
there shall be no soldiers and working
mems councils. He has the power to sup
press them. But the disclosure of his pur-
pose to prevent labor delegates from
going to Stockholm caused the resignation
from his Cabinet Of Arthur Henderson,

immediate signal for fight is
n only another Of the paradoxes de-
veloped by the war. An unusually sober
conflict, with the press of the country de-
manding a showdown on pro-German
peace moves in Congress, is that produced
by Senator La Follette's peace resolution
Of August II.
The holding of peace meeting in the
Senate room of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs two days before Mr.. La Fol-
lette's move charged the atmosphere with
political gunpowder. Through a trick,
according to Senator Chamberlain, the
Council obtained his permission to use
the room. When the Council had finished
a lively meeting, in which Congress was
denounced for passing the selective draft
law and the impeachment of President
Wilson was called for, the temper of Con-
gress, if not of the nation, was decidedly
ruffled.
Senator La Follette's move was the
spark to the powder He presented res
olution urging Congress to state definite
terms on which the United States would
make peace with Germany, using as
basis disavowal of indemnity or territorial
acquisition, and restoration Of devastated
territory at the expense Of all of the bel
lgerents.

commenting on a clever suggestion to dis
credit those favoring it.

analyses the move as one favoring an in

tinues:
"The mischief done by a peace resolution
such as Senator La Toilette has introduced
is worked in Germany, not in the United
States.
"The German people have no means Of
knowing that the Senator from Wisconsin Is
chronically against the United States gov

with an unpatrotic minority ever since the
first issue was raised between the United
States and Germany. They do not know,

ranks of the pro- German elements, the pro-
fessional pacifists and the semi-treasonable
Socialists who have been doing the Kaser's
dirty work in this country since the begin

these people are noisy but they repre-
sent a very small part of the American peo-
pie. What the German government is con-

in influencing the German people to believe
that the United States has no intention of
seeing the war through"
The issue, "The World" continues, is
similar to that which had TO be fought out
in Congress previous to the arming of
American merchantmen, and should there
