SENDS
To RUSSIA
AGAINST PEACE
WITHOUT ALLIES
ALL AMERICANS IN
HEARTY SYMPATHY
with the New Russia and Its
Aspirations, Declares
Labor Head.

WASHINGTON, May IA plea
against premature peace for Russia
and renewed assurances that Ameri-
can wage earners and the American
people are in hearty sympathy with
The Russian democratic movement are
included in long cablegram sent by
President Samuel Gompers Of the
American Federation Of Labor to the
executive committee Of the council or
workmen's and soldiers deputies at
lPetrograd. ,-
Speaking for organized labtr IN this
country. MIR. Gompers also C. presses
complete confidence in the purposes
and opinions Of the American war
mission soon to go to Russia. Al
though he does not mention specih-
cally. the recent attacks on Elihu
Root, who will head the mission. the
labor leader denounces as criminal
and pro-German any suggestion mat
the members will seek to interfere
in Russia's international analrs or
will give any advice except with the
purpose of combating the common
ienemy.
Forcible annexations are, con-
|demned, but Mr.. Gompers pleads that
every people affected by the war
should in the end be free to choose
their allegiance. Punitive indemnities
also are denounced and hope is eX-
pressed that leaders of the working
classes of the central empires will
cease plotting for an abortive peace
and will bring real peace by over
throwing the autocracies OF Hohen-
zollern and Hapsburg.
The message, timed to aid IN COM
batting the pro-German agitation ap-
parent during the last few days IN
Russia, was cabled yesterday. 1t was
made public tonight and says IN part:
Gompers' Message.
THE gravest crisis in the world
wars history Is now hanging IN
the balance, and the course which
Russia will pursue may have a
determining influence whether de-
mocracy or autocracy shall pre-
vail. That democracy and free
dom will finally prevail there can
be no doubt in the minds of men
who know, but the cost. the tlme
lost and the sacrifices Wnlch
would ensue from lack Of united
action may be appalling. 1t Is
