nations, was expressed tonight by
Samuel Gompcrs, president of the
Federation.
Mr. Gompers' statement was con-
strucd as a direct reEly to the charges
OF Arthur Henderson, British labor
leader, who accused the American Fed
Grafton of Labor Of reversing its orig
inal acquiescence in holding an inter
Allied Workmen's Conference stimuli
taneously with the peace parley at the
end of the war. Mr.. Henderson stated
that delegation, epresenting British
labor would visit the United States, in
order to determine the reason for the
Fedcrations alleged change of heart.
1--WE are not only willing, but eager"
asserted Mr. Gompers, "to cooperate
with tolers of our allies at a confer
ence to discuss any matters affecting
-ectively to make our efforts count
toward the maintenance of standards
of life and work
1--WE are, however. disinclined to par
ticipate lii conference with representa-
tives OF enemy countries.
"British trade unions and the Ameri-
can Federation have great aspirations
N common, and both are the express
slors Of the Judgment and activities of
the nations workers.
at is significant that strikes and
discomfort among American workers
are to-day at their lowest ebb. The
cause for this solidarity and loyalty is
that the laborers are subject to a grow
ing consciousness OF the fact that we
are fighting a peoples war, and that
the principles and ideals Of the United
States are at stake. The tenets of
labor are in the balance. Our work
:ngmen are convinced that the govern
rent purposes to see their rights pro-
tectod, and they are ardently shoulder
ing their burdens of carrying our coun-
try to victory.
employers are not so swift to
achieve this attitude The Chicago
packers, for instance, are on the wrong
side.
81 have nothing further to say, ex-
cept that the weather in Chicago is
exceedingly unladylike."
Mr.. Gompers expects to leave to-
morrow for Washington.
