LABOR TOO BUSY TO
BOTHER With SOCIALIST
CONFERENCE G0MPERS

New York, Aug. Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, has issued a state
ment here. simplifying his reason for
opposition to the proposed Interna-
tional Socialist conference at Stock
holm.
1.-THE working people of the United
States" he said, "are now doing ev-
erything within their power to help
their country in it's war against i'm
perialism and autocracy. The work.
ing people of England and France
are doing the same for their own
countries.
"The working people of Germany
are doing all they possibly can to
help Germany win the war. 1t is,
therefore, in my judgment, positively
Injurious for any conference of rep
resentatives of labor to take place
in which the representatives of all
the countries would be present.

Ten Leading Amateur Trapshots
of the West.

all American football or baseball teams
for there are as many people interested
In the sport alluring'' as in any other
outdoor sport. Just this kind of a yarn
one year ago. caused the westy Hogans
TO put on shoot between the East and
the West in their Atlantic City tourna-
ment and this event will be one of the
features In years to come.
This sectional rivalry brings out a lot
OF good keen competition that is good for
the sport, for trapshooters are honest to
the core and fair in all their dealings
No trapshooter will take advantage of an
error OF an oiffcial-they all pIay the
game fair. This adds to the popularity
Of the sport
1t Will be noted that In the Eastern
shooters is listed the name of the late
A Il. Richardson. II Richardson's name
was stricken from the list the name of
Fred Plum, of Atlantic City, N. J., would
come next. Plum shot at 4,415 targets and
broke 4,as for an average of s.553 The
elimination of Richardson from the
mythical team and the addition of Plum
by his great run of PSI straight at Maple
wood-1oo of this number being from q
yards, shows the kind of stuff he is made
