William Purdy Presides.

William Purdy. chairman OF the labor
party. presided and opened the confer
ence by saying:
The labor movement has given its
best to insure to the entente allies a
decisive victory of militarism. which
has shown itself brutal in application
and determined to eNtinguish all ideals
of democracy and liberty
"Labor's infieXtble resolution is to see
justice done and reparation made. and
that still is the determination of the
great masses of the industrial classes
of the country and the colonies.
NO peace will be satisfactory unless
il guarantees complete freedom from
the aggression of militarism.
Our Russian comrades need all the
sympathy the labor party here can give
them and there is no question of a
separate peace. We must stand shoul-
der 70 shoulder until a righteous peace
is obtained. We are sure our Russian
comrades are not going to exchange q
hard won freedom for a sham one
under the heel of Prussian militarism.
The invitation to attend the Stock.
holm conference deserves careful con-
sideration as the decision called for Is
probably the most important In the
history of the labor movement"
