, OF LABOR DECLARES
SAMUEL GOMPERS

Washington, oct. 13.-Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Fedora
tion of Labor, said point blank today
with some heat, there will be no con-
scription of labor" for navy yards and
munition plants.
The men are all working. What
more do you want? What more can
there be ?" he added.
He apparently regarded the idea Of
conscription as reflection on the
patriotism of American la Dor.
Other labor leaders were non-com-
INITIAL on the question.
What Is regarded as a possible pre-
liminary to further official discussion
of labor conscription such as practiced
in England is a trip beginning next
week by four members of the British
mission in this country. Nine OF the
principal cities in the east and middle
west win be visited by the English
men to hold Informal conferences with
munitions workers and employers.

FATEFUL HOUR IN

Less Confident.

tain her position as world power

as our sinkings exceed the possible new

Success cannot be expected forth
with, but If we pursue our aim firmly
our position some months hence will
be quite different. England wants to
negotiate now while her military posi-
tion is comparatively favorable"
The man who invented the sub
marine warfare was very much more
confident of Immediately bringing
England to terms last winter, 30 that
the interview quoted above may be
considered very significant Just
what is meant by Won Tirpitz's state
ment that England wants to negotiate
now Is not clear. since all British
statements have been emphatic In re-
jecting any present peace. Nor Is the
former grand admirars admission that
England's military position is COM
paratively favorable" without signifi-
cance as being one OF the few admis-
sions so far recorded that the allies
