BUFFALO. N. Y, Nov. ia
nationwide pro-American propaganda
campaign to Offset the secret por
German propaganda in the ranks o
American workers is being planned
by the American Federation of Labor
it was learned today.
The quiet preparation of this cam
paign, which has been going on FOL
q week, is looked upon by President
Gompers as one of the most 1mpor
tant developm ents of the federation's
convention.
This plan Is expected to smooth
out much of the labor tangle In gov
ernment ship yards, to have sooth
ing effect on the coal mine situation
and though the brotherhoods are not
affiliated with the federation. to help
put down the strike and disaffection
spirit in the railroad group.
The outward and visible signs OF
this propaganda will be speech max.
ing labor leaders, who will make
carefully mapped tours among the
different classes of labor, explaining
the federation's pro-government atti-
tude, warning labor against the influ-
ence of German sympathfzers and
impressing upon It the urgent war
need of full and uninterrupted pro-
duction.
The first speaker In this list will
start his work within few days
after the convention ends here Sat
urday. He Is John Hill, fraternal
delegate to the convention from the
British trades union congress. He
will make speeches before the ship
yard labor groups on both coasts.
Hill has been a pro-government labor
leader in England since the war be-
gan One Of his four enlisted sons
has been killed and the other three
are still fighting.
In addition to this there will be an
army Of secret labor agents. Their
task will be to watch their respec-
tive local fields for German agents,
to keep federation and government
officials at Washington informed of
local labor conditions and to head
off trouble in their local ranks by
wedding out anti-American individu-
ais and throttling their whispered
Vaccinations before they can stir up
serious trouble.
President Gompers feels that prac-
tically all local labor troubles since
America entered the war are trace
able to German agents and that the
governments attitude Is broad and
fair enough to permit speedy and
satisfactory settlement of all disputes
if sinister influences can be kept
from befogging the atmosphere. Not
day has passed at the present con
vention that Gompers has not re,
voiced the conviction that the ranks
of labor are full Of German propa-
gandists and agents and that they
constitute a very real and serious
menace to Americas Industrial war
