eating around the every night and
We manage to have very good times
Every building has a large fireplace,
which indeed is a great comfort to
US all ALSO there are pianos and a
very nice entertainment to help
amuse the boys. We are also fur
nished with stationery and envelopes

our letters. This is quite conven-
ience because we do not have tables

difficult to attend to our correspond
ence on that account.
we lillu Iiie 1. NJ =. a. employees

WILSON MAKES
DIRECT APPEAL
TO LABOR MEN
Urges New High Platform
of Americanism Before
Labor Convention.
MUST GET MAXIMUM
PRODUCTIVITY TO WIN
President Reviews Ger
many's Situation Before
War, Condemns Aims.

| BUFFALO, Nov. I2.-Asking that
/ he be considered as fellow cftcizen
and not as the president, President
| Wilson before the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention asked that
labor join with the other people OF
America on a new. high platform. A
sea of waving flags and vigorous ap-
plause greeted the President
The President declared IL Germany
rtained the Berlin, Bagdad railway,
she will have won all her war aims
He told labor If we want to win the
war we must raise labor to its maxi
mum productivity. This is the first
time an American president has talk
ed direct to the nations labor repre-
sentatives.
Opening the convention. President
Landon of the Buffalo chamber OF
commerce. charged that German
agents were among the delegates, in
sinuated that the American BoIshiv-
Xxi was busy and the federation fac
ing the most important convention In
its history.
The President dIgressed to review
Germany's situation before the war.
and to condemn her for beginning
the war. The President said: Ger
many has a place in the sun, what
more did she want? There was moth
ing in the world of peace she did not
already have. What she wanted
was success by authority and not by
achievement" The President de-
clared this authority was to extend
to the domination OF labor.
Final Test of American.
The President continued: my
counsel is. let us show we don't want
to go off in separate camps or in
groups by ourselves. but we want to
cooperate with all other classes and
all other groups in a common enter
prise which will release the spirit OF
worlds from bondage. I would be
willing to set that up as the final
test of an American. That is the
meaning of democracy
Mob Law Criticized.
L have been very much distressed
by some of the things happening re-
cently. Most of it is the spirit dis.
playing itself here and there. 1 have
no sympathy with what some men
say, but l have no sympathy with the
men VIII take punishment into their
own hands. l don't recognize any
man joining such mob as worthy OF
the free institutions of the United
State"
