WILSON MAKES AN
APPEAL TO LABOR
FREEDOM AGAINST POWER is
WARS ISSUE PRESIDENT TELLS
HEADS OF LABOR
HITS THE PACIFISTS HARD
my Heart Is With Them, But My
Mind Is Against Them" Ma
TONS Leader Declares

Auditorium, Buffalo, n. Y.-Presi-
dent Wilson made a personal and elo-
quent appeal here for the full support
of organized labor for the government
in the conduct of the war. Speaking
before the annual convention OF the
American Federation of Labor, he de-
clared the war could not be won I'M
less all factions unite in common
cause, sinking their differences.
The president paid warm tribute to
Samuel Gompers, president of the led
Grafton, and virtually called upon the
federation to give him united support,
He denounees pacifists and critics. he
appealed for cooperation.
Discussing Germany, the president
declared fatty that Germany had
started the war and that he was willing
to await the verdict of history on
that statement.
New instrumentalities for better CO.
operation between labor and capltal
was one statement by the president
which was of prime interest to the
delegates to the convention. The presl-
dent alluded to the present war as
the last decisive issue between the
principles of power and the new peo-
pie of freedom"
81 believe" he said, that the spirit
of freedom can get into the hearts OF
| Germans and find as fine 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 without concentrated
force against free peoples if it is used
| by free people"
You know" he continued, now
many limitations come to us from one
of the central powers that 1t is more
anxious for peace than the chief central
power. and you know that 1t means
| that the people in that central power
know that if the war ends as 1t STANDS
thew will in effect themselves be vas
sails of Germany, Notwithstanding that
their populations are compounded ol
all the people of that part OF the world
and Notwithstanding the fact that they
do not wish in their pride ana proper
spirit of nationality to be ABSORBED anu
dominated"
Referring in another part OF his
speech to Russia, the president SAID;
MAY | not say it is amazing to me
that any group of people should be so
iIEinformed 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 a Germany powerful enough TO
undermine or overthrow them by IN
trigue or force, any body of free men
that compound the German govern
ment compounds for it's own destruc-
! ton"
