GONPERS OFFERS
RESOLUT ions AS.
.LABOR'S DEMAND
.FORFUTUREPEACE

Laredo. Tex. Nov. 15.-Discussion
of President Samuel Gompers' peace
plans was expected to occupy much
of the time of the Pan labor confer
ence here today. A resolution en-
bodying the peace plans Of organized
labor in America was introduced by
the president of the Federation Of
Labor late yesterday. The resolu-
tion proposes a league of free ma
tions. elimination of. political or eeco-
nornic restrictions to benefit some
nation and embarrass others, recog
milton of the rights of small, nations
and no reprisals or territorial chang
es except in furtherance of the well
fare of the peoples affected. ~
The Resolutions
The resolution says:
Whereas, we, the delegates Of the
First pan-American Federation Of
Labor convention, meeting at such a
critical time in the worlds history,
realizing that the problems now
confronting humanity in the building
of an enduring peace. are no less
acute than the problems of war, and
being deeply desirous that in the re-
shaping of the worlds affairs, the
most critical consideration be given
those principles that make for an en-
during peace and create equality of
opportunity for the people of all ma
tions, therefore be it
Resolved, That we declare that
the following essential fundamental
principles must underlie the peace
as well as the principles OF all civil
lized nations: A league of the free
peoples of the world in a common
covenant for genuine and practical
cooperation to secure justice and
therefore peace in relations between
nations. no political or economic re-
strictions meant simply to benefit
some nations and to cripple or en-
barrass others, no reprisals based on
vindictive proposes, or deliberate de-
sire to injure but to right manifest
wrongs; recognition of rights OF
small nations and of the principle
that no people must be forced under
a sovereignty which it does not wish
to live: no territorial changes or ad-
justment of powers except in fur
tIerance of the welfare Of the people
affected and in furtherance OF world
peace; and be it further
Resolved. That in law and in
practice the principle shall be rec
ognized that the labor of a human
being is not commodity or article
of commerce.: industrial servitude
shall not exist except as a punish
ment for crime, whereof the party
shall have been duly convicted; the
right Of free association. free assem-
blage, free speech and free press
shall not be abridged; that the sea-
men Of the merchant marine shall be
guaranteed the right OF leaving their
vessels when the same are safe in
harbor: no article or commodity
shall be shipped or delivered in in
ternational commerce in the produc
ton of which children under the age
OF 16 years have been employed or
permitted to work. 1t shall be de-
clared that the basic work dar in in~
dustry and commerce shall not ex-
ceed eight hours day; trial by jury
should be established"

Paris, Nov. 15.-Versailles, al
though not formally chosen as the
meeting place OF the peace negotia-
tons, Is regarded as almost certain
to be the place selected for the peace
conference when the inter-allid
council rassembles today. The real
work Of the negotiations will be car
ried on in Paris where 1t is probable
that delegations from all the coun-
tries will reside temporarily.
There also Is little doubt that the
supreme act of signing the peace
agreement will take place at Yer
sailles in the same historical hall
where the German empire was pro-
claimed in 1871.

Paper Makers
Reabimg Profit

Ottawa. Nov. 15.-After hearing
testimony indicating that tremen-
dous profits had been made by Cana
dian paper mills during the war, the
paper control tribunal which has
been investigating the news print
situation decided it had no authority
to change the price of $50 a ton for
news print set by the Pringle yom-
mission and that therefore the news
papers must continue to pay this
price.
Figures relating to the profits
made by the paper mills were sub.
mitted to the tribunal by w. N. Till
ley, acting for the Canadian publish
ers. Net earnings of $2,321, ,951 by
the Laurentide company were shown
for the year ending last June as
compared with 1857. .592 in 1914. The
earnings of Price Brothers were Civ
en- as $l,374,782 this years as against
$454,287 five years ago. he Spanish
River mills net income was $1,729, ,231
whereas in 1914 they were SS79,2S5.
