GERMAN NATIONAL ASSEMBLY IS CALLED
THANKSGIVING DAY.

CBy Jeanette AracH Leepcr)
Back m the days when all the iron IN men
Was wrought to surface. yea. and struck to heart!
When each days bitter struggle meant an end
To gain before another day should start:
When ease of life beaten Out. and lost.
And gamt starvation staked those fearless souls
Upon that frovvning and forbiddmg coast.
Where storm lashed old Atlantic heaves and rolls
Above. and far beyond their present. lot
Our grandsirs lifted eyes to hidden way
And counted not the price of what they bought.
But measured it a Thanksgiving Day
So. in this nation. which they. gave to US.
Bathed in their tears and blood; stained by their sweat
A mute reminder, brave and piteous,
Their Day of Thankfulness is with us yet.
Let US be worthy. Though the years sad toll
May have pierced deep-have we not still in us
That spirit and that blood which sees the goal
And rides the present gale. victoHous2
Above and far beyond the present hour.
Lift up your hearts. unto the blazing way
The Freedom of World bursts into hower!.
All. let this be great Thanksgiving Day.

LABOR ASKS
HOME RULE
FOR IRELAND
Gompers Authorized to Visit in
England, France and Italy
to Cement Relations 4
URGE MAXIMUM EFFORT

St. Paul, Mimi, June 2O.-American
workingmen, through the American
Federation of Labor, today reaffirmed
their position of refusing to meet rep
resentatives of workers of the Central
powers until Germany's military ma
chine has been crushed. oyA
Samuel GOmpers was reelected
president of the American Federation
Of Labor by acclamation at the annual
convention here this afternoon.
This position is logically, moral
ly and absolutely correct" according
to a resolution adopted at annual con;
vention of the federation, because
the true attitude of those workers
could not be learned at such a confer.
ence. Representatives of German
workers entering the conference
would be completely dominated by
militaristic and imperialistic leaders.
A resolution urging that ireland be
granted home rule was adopted after
amendment calling upon England to
establish the independence OF the
country was voted down.. After spirit
ed discussion, President Gompers de-
clared: 1T would be dangerous
thing for this federation to advocate
something for the Irishmen of Ire
land they do not want"
;, President Samuel Gompers was
authorized: to VISIT England, France
and Italy in .orderl to. cement relations
between the 'allied ah6 Z American
workers. 1t was recommended that
the executive council maintain . per-
.manent representative Of the fedora.
ton in Europe.
A report on constructive demands.
submitted by the committee on reso.
lutions, received enthusiastic endorse
ment.
According to the report. labor is not
commodity, but has a right to parti.
cipate in the control of industry.
President Gompers, after declaring
that the labor movement would resist
every effort to reduce wages by the
law of supply and demand, made the
following statement: III the law of
supply and demand should operate
now, labor could obtain all the wealth
produced and leave rothing to the
employer" "
He declared also that labOr's de-
mand for representatives in determin'
ing that part of production which con.
Germs It, is fundamental.
The convention went on record for
maximum production of war materials
without interruption, endorsed gov
ernment control of railroads and fav.
ored as low as possible price for
wheat not inconsistent with farmers
interests.
A resolution aimed at Chinese coolie
labor which met with favorable action
recommended that steps be taken to
prevent enactment of legislation which
permit entry of this kind of labor in
to the United States. =.
Recognizing the problems confront
ing the labor movement because Of
the war, steps were taken to nrovide
funds to be used for special investi'
cations and conferences. As an emer-
gency war measure. the executive
council Of the federation was empow-
cred to levy an assessment. OF one
cen ton each member Of unions. affil-
lated with the federation. $40 on state
