President Writes Ringing Labor

Asserts That the Nation Needs the
Laborer as Much as the
Fighting Man.

Washington, Sept. 3.-All Ameri
cans are addressed as fellow enlisted
men of a single army of many parts
but commanded by single obligation
by President Wilson in a Labor Day
message made public at the White
House. That object is to win the war,
'the war of all wars, which labor
should support and support with all
its concentrated power"
At first, the President says, this
hardly seemed more than a war of de.
fense against military aggression
now it is clear that it is more than q
war to alter the balance of power OF
Europe; that Germany was striking
at what free men everywhere desire
and must have, the right to determine
their own fortunes,
THE laborer Is not only as much
needed as the soldier" he said. I'll
is his war. The soldier is his cham
pion and representative. To fail to
win would be to imperil everything
that the laborer has striven for and
held dear since freedom first had Its
dawn and his struggle for justice be
