LABOR REJECTS
PEACE PARLEY
Gompers Points Out Futility
of Conference at Stock
holm

Washington, May 25.-Another ef-
fort to get Americans to participate
in peace parleys at Stockholm has
failed when Samuel Gompers, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor, declined an invitation to send
delegates to Stockholm trade union
congress to discuss the claims of la
Dor in connection with peace nego-
tiations. The congress will meet
simultaneously with the Socialist
peace conference, on which the State
Department has put its stamp of
disapproval by refusing passports to
Americans expecting to participate
and by warning citizens that such
participation would be in violation
of the law.
The Federation of Labors invita-
tion came in q cablegram from
President Oudegeest of the Dutch
Federation of Labor Unions. MI.
Gompers cabled this reply:
Long before the United States en-
tered the war the American Fedora
tion of Labor proposed an interna-
tional conference after the war and
at the time and place where the
representatives of each government
were to meet to determine the trea-
ties and international relations. That
proposition was rejected. Now, after
the United States is in the war, you
propose conference to be held at
Stockholm at same time and place
when the so-called international So
cialist conference is to be held at
Stockholm, and this proposition too
without consultation with trade
union centers of United States and
other countries.
There is no time by which Amer
lean organized labor could select
delegates to attend the Stockholm
conference June 7, and cannot see
how any good could come from our
participation in such congress at
this time"

SIMS TO BE MADE
VICE. MIRAL
Pershing Also in Line For
Promotion Because of For
eign Service

Washington, May 25. - Secretary
of the Navy Daniels announced to-
day that Rear Admiral William Sims,
now in charge of American naval
operations in European waters, is to
be appointed vice admiral by the
President.
Shortly before the entry of the
United States into the war, Rear
Admiral Sims was sent abroad by
a Secretary Daniels as special repre-
Sentative and observer. After the
outbreak of the war Admiral Sims
held conferences with the British
and French naval officials as to the
best methods of cooperation of the
navies of the nations at war with
Germany. When it was determined
to send American naval vessels to
foreign waters Admiral Sims was
placed in charge of the operations.
1t was reported from an authorita-
tive source to-day that before Major
General John j. Pershing goes to
France, or very soon afterward, he
will be made a lieutenant general.
Admiral Sims is q son of the late
Colonel A. w. Sims, who was super
intendent of the Rockhill Coal and
Iron Company and the East Broad
