FOR CONFUSION
IF THE VOLUNTARY
SERVICE FAILS

Washington, March 15.-Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, today declared he
is in favor of compulsory training and
service, either military and industrial
provided voluntary service is proved
q failure.
I'VE must have service" he told the
United Press. 1T should be voluntary
There must be no compulsory service
enforced until every opportunity Is
given to prove voluntary service in
effective.
Though not forgetting the present
situation, we must still talk in terms of
peace. The great conference there,
however pledged labor's service to the
country in any form whatever
MUST HAVE COOPERATION
But, at the same time, the resolution
specifically declares that the govern
ment must recognize the organized
movements as the agency through
which it must cooperate with wage
earners.
"On the other hand, labor believes
voluntary service should be given more
of trial. The voluntary idea has not
yet been given sufficient trial to war
rant immediate adoption of policy of
compulsory service.
There is "a lot of difference be-
tween training-manual and physical
that is voluntarily entered into and
encouraged by propaganda and educa-
tion. and that of co:npulsion."
LABoR's FORM OF SERVICE.
Asked what form of service labor
would render. Gompers replied:
1T is a little too early to answer
that : cannot say now whether labor
would train for the Industrial or mill
tary end of the war. But, you know,
IL requires three men in the factory for
every man in the trenches to keep any
army supplied, Labor's forces are
large.
Perhaps our plans for this will be
known soon. but we will have to get
down to a work ing basis"

Result of the New York
Conference Before Taking
Any Steps to Bring About
Peace.

better.
CAN DO NOTHING NOW.
"The president" Judge Chambers
was told, "believes he can do nothing
right now"
He 10 said to feel about the only
thing he could do would be to issue a
patriotic appeal for both sides in the
controversy to get together at almost
all costs, at least temporarily, so that
no bad Impression will be created
abroad.

past six years. He added:
"The wisdom of your predecessors
their vindication and their justifica-
ton, have come today when man in
public life would impair or destroy the
new philosophy of government EN-
bodied on the railroad commission, the
board of control, the industrial acci-
dent commission and the like activi-
ties of the state. These policies and
the various laws that deal with hu-
man aid social relations. none would
dare touch with profane hands now.
During our generation, they are safe
from attack or destruction.
Though they form such an import
ant part of the achievement of your
selves and of your predecessors, 1t Is
not for them, in this solemn moment,
that appeal. Human government, re-
cognizing no privileged class, demand
ing and obtaining for each individual,
however humble. the right to a share
OF Gods sunlight and happiness, de-
velops other attributes as well. Long
forgotten before 1911. there have come
to US since the most highly priced Of
all things ia public life.
@tGaAHEA.-~
There's another viewpoint now, a
nobler aspiration There is finally in
California's government q real chara-
cter, quickened public conscience,
religious fervor or service, an idealism,
translated into every day action. aye,
the very soul of democracy triumph

1T is for the maintenance and the
preservation of these that / speak.
