The Industrial Workers of the

league of nations to bring about peace" "
was the opinion expressed yesterday
by Elizabeth Gurley Flynn.
No labor party or organization
wants war for workingmen. We do
not believe in destroying human life
and using the cannon for commercial
of nations" said Mrs
Flynn, explaining her opposition to
war. Labor considers the interests
of each individual. The burdens of wal

Mr.. Gerard would leave the German

1t was disclosed at the state depart
