IMPRESSED BY
LABOR'S LOYALTY
Patriotic Course Of Federation an
"Inspiration," to Visiting
Britishers
AUGURY OF GREAT TRIUMPH
Determination Shown on All Sides
Win the War, Together With the
Vast Resources of the United States,
Sure to Result In Victory, Says
Spokesman.

With message to the British gov
eminent and people that American la
Dor is loyalty behind President Wilson
In the prosecution of the war, the Brit
ish labor mission, which for two
months has been touring the United
States, departed for England.
In statement given out afte2 their
departure through the Anne 1can ALL
lance for Labor and Democracy Wal
ter A. Appleton, spokesman for the
British labor leaders, declared that
American labor is loyal to the CORE"
Mr.. Appleton said that the patriotic
course OF the American Federation of
Labor has been 'an inspiration" to
himself and colleagues. The determi-
nation to win and the spirit of sacri-
fee manifested ON all sides as an
augury of great triumph for the
forces of democracy"
"The immense area of America. the
extent and character of it's agricultur-
al, Its mineral and its industrial
wealth have profoundedly impressed
me-" Mr.. Appleton said, 'but what has
sunk most deeply into my very soul is
the absolutely unselfish devotion with
which America Is consecrating all her
resources to Belgium, France. Italy
Russia, Serbia, Roumania, and to nv
own dear country.
1--WE carry from America renewed
confidence and inspiration. She has
started to write upon the walls Of
Potsdam's palace the fateful Meme,
Meme, Tekel, Upharsin.'
Referring to the attacks of American
pacifists and radicals upon the mis-
sion, Mr.. Appleton said:
misrepresentation fostered by jeal-
ousy threatened at first to Interfere
with the usefulness of the British labor
mission. The people of America were
too acute for propaganda of this kind
and the attempt to undermine the USE
fulness of the mission and to delay
the transport Of men, munitions, and
of food have signally failed.

and their resolutions Of loyalty to their
own government and to the cause of

enthusiasm and unanimity."
VIII Not Move Headquarters.
Frank ]. Hayes, international presi-
dent of the United Mine Workers Of
America, Monday said that there was
no foundation for reports published In
Cleveland, o., that the organization
was planning to move its headQuar-
tiers from Indianapolis to that. city
He said that 1t would not be done and
was not being considered By the
unions officials.
Cleveland was selected for the next
! convention city at the last biennial
meeting Of the organization in Indian.
apolis recently. Mr.. Hayes said that
, 1t was probable that the impression
! that the headquarters would be moved
from indianapolis arose from this fact
