PRESIDENT HINTS AT NEW MEANS
THAT WILL END LABOR
TROUBLES.

Auditorium, Buffalo, N. Y, Nov. ID
President Wilson made personal and
eloquent appeal here for the full sup
port of organized labor for the gov
ernment in the conduct of the war.
Speaking before the annual cOnven-
tiOn of the American Federation OF
Labor he declared the war could not
common cause, sinking their differ
ences, and made it clear that he op-
poses peace until this war against Ger
many has been won.
The President paid warm tribute to
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation of Labor, and
virtually called upon the Federation to
give him united support He de-
pealed for cooperation.
Discussing Germany, the President
declared flatly that Germany had
started the war, and that he was will
ling to await the verdict of history on
that statement.
New instrumentalitie for better CO.
operation between labor and capital
was one suggestion by the President
which was of prime interest to the
delegates of the convention.
The President alluded to the present
war "as the last decisive issue be-
tween the old principles of power and
the new principles of freedom" Il be-
lieve," he said, that the spirit of free
dom can get into the hearts of Ger
mans and find as fine a welcome
there as it can find in any other
hearts. But the spirit of freedom does
not suit the plans of the pan-Germans.
Power cannot be used with concen-
trated force against the free peoples
if it is used by free people.
"You know" he continued, "hoW
many intimations come to us from one
of the central powers that it is more
anxious for peace than the chief cen
trail power, and you know that 1t
means that the people in that central
power know that if the war ends as 1t
stands they will in effect themselves
be vassals of Germany, notwithstand-
ing that their populations are COM
pounded of all the people of that part
of the world, and Notwithstanding the
fact that they do not wish in their
pride and proper spirit of nationality
to be absorbed and dominated
Referring in another part of his
speech to Russia, the President said:
"May I not say it is amazing to me
that any group of people should be so
ill informed as to suppose, as some
groups in Russia apparently suppose,
that any reforms planned in the inter-
est of the people can live in the pres
ence of. Germany powerful enough
to undermine or overthrow them by
intrigue or force? Any body of free
men that compounds with the German
government compounds for it's own de-
struction."
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation Of Labor, intro
ducing Mr.. Wilson. referred to him as
''this man of destiny, spokesman for
freedom, interpreter of the aims and
spirit of our time, leader of thoughts
and actions among the nations of the
earth"

WALL STREET STRONG
FOR LIBERTY LOAN

Enthusiasm in Wall street over
the Liberty loan is running high.
Bankers and brokers are exerting
every possible effort to make the
fiotation a great success. Inasmuch
as some of the detailed terms have
not yet been announced, number
of large investors are holding off,
but the applications that are coming
in to the banks are regarded as con-
vincing evidence of the ease with
which the two billion dollar loan will
be disposed Of.
The subscriptions formally announc-
ed are only a very small part of the
total received, many individuals and
banks being averse to publicity con-
corning their investments. Among
those reported recently were S.
100000 by the stock exchange firm
of Merrill, Lynch & company, and
81 100000 by the international
banking house of Ladenburg, Thai
mann & Co. It was reported that
the Bankers Trust company. which

Gates of Indebtedness of the second
