URGES
LABOR LOYALTY

With charges of German agents
being among the delegates, and In
situations that the American
bolsheviki" are at work, and Sam
uel Gompers making his. fight for
reelection as president on a war
platform, the federation faced the
most important convention in its
81 years history.
This was the first time in his
tory that chief executive of the
United States has talked directly
to the nations labor representa-
tives.
AS the convention opened,
President A. A. Landon of the
Chamber of Commerce, an associ-
ate of Howard Coffin in building
Americas great air fleet, warned
them against German agents in
their midst.
German propagandists may
be numbered among you," he de-
clared. They were in the Brit
ish parliament and the Italian and
French chamber of deputies.
They had Greece by the throat.
And II such is the case, why
should they not be in our own
legislative bodies?"
Year Successful for A. +. of Il.
Landon warned against internal
wranglings. Halt-hearted support
of the war he denounced as
treachery to 'our flesh and blood
in the trenches.
Formal reports this afternoon
were to show the A. F. of l.. had
its most successful year in 1917,
entering into agreements with the
GOV eminent on a scale undream-
ed of until the war suddenly ele-
waited organized labor to a posi-
ton of enormous power.
Delegates were reused by Lam
don's assertion that German
agent had offered an American
firm 100000 not to make al
lied munitions.
