LONDON, Jan. 1O.-Copies of the
Laborites manifesto endorsing Presi-

sent out today to labor organizations
in Russia, France and Italy.
1t is believed that the strong stand
taken by British labor will have a far

peace in the central powers if it can
be placed in the hands of the German
working classes.
The position of the British govern
ment has been greatly strengthened
by the action of the Laborites for the
principles they are supporting are
practically identical with those enun-

Russia and his declaration in favor OF
equality of trade conditions amongst
all nations after the war.

parties of the allied nations, including
