Head of American Organ ized Working Men Says Life of the Nation
 Is at Stake

Washington, January a.--In New Years greeting to al organized labor samuel Gompcrs, president of the 'American Federation of Labor, calls upon representatives and organizers to sjnakc plain to their fellows the issues involved in the war and the obliSa- fton that devolves upon all citizens. He also emphasizes the importance of sec ing to it that the spirit and methods of democracy are maintained at home while the country is fighting to es- tablish them in international reia- lions.
 war means victory for our cause or danger to the very existence of our na- tion,'' says the address. With our na- tion at stake, individuals cannot inter pose opposition to the war, war de- clared by the will of the nations repre- .sentatives. Under the exigencies Of war opposition to the war declared by con stituted authority becomes treason.
 GREATER NEED
 While this is true there is even more than ordinary need for the maintenance of the rights of men and women and for careful scrutiny and the fullest dis cussion of policies and methods before their adoption. The time for labor to in terpose its needs and contentious is while policies are h the making.
 s'The fighting and the concrete issues of the war are so far removed from the people of our country that not all or our citizens have a full understanding of the issues involved. An understand ing of the principles of autocratic force, which the central powers desire to sub |aSy lac if dom, makes clear to all citizens Of this republic the effect of our possible de- feat upon their own lives and activities,
 LABOR'S INTEREST
 n addition to the fundamental prin- eipies at issue, labor has an additional interest in the war. This war is in the -ast analysis q peoples war, labor's war. The final outcome will be determined in the factories, the mills, the shops, the mines, the farms, the industries and the transportation agencies of the various countries. That group of countries which can most successfully organize its agencies of production and transportation and which can furnish the most ade- quate aid effective agencies with which to conduct the war. will win.
 The workers have a part in this war co-equal with the soldiers and sailors On the ships ana in the trenches.
 CONTINUOUS PRODUCTION
 "Continuous production is an lndis- pensable prerequisite to production of necessary war supplies. The government, IS well as the workers themselves is vItally interested in maintaining such conditions that there shall be no occasion for interruption in production.
 .'The chief responsible agents of the Government have shown desire to be fa-.r end an understanding of the hu- man elements involved In this problem. The organized labor movement has also shown an equally broad understanding and grasp of the situation"
 N Mir. Gompers quotes at length from the declaration adopted by labor's represen- tatives meeting here March F and from the resolutions of the Buffalo convention of the American Federation of Labor outlining the organized labor toward war work.
