peace. This is the simple message that
Mr.. Gompers presents to labor in the

Yet there was a rift in the lutte; few
Socialist or semi-Socialist papers struck
a discordant note. "The New York
Call" for instance, commented thus upon
the words of President Ogden quoted
above:
The speech is notice 70 Gompers Of what
is undoubtedly the view of the most repre-
sentative labor congress held in England in
many years. M Ogden's speech is a plea
for the meeting of an international con
ference of labor and a protest against the
refusal by the government OF passports for
such a conference. These views cannot be
reconciled with the views Of Gomucrs. and
the latter will, no doubt, have another
reception when he states his own"
And again The Public" commenting
at an earlier date upon the purpose of
the Gompers mission as already quoted
in the introduction of this article. wrote
thus:

But the rift is of the most minor sort.

i Issues His Message

The second great event of the week in
the world of labor was President vii
sons message. Some of its more strik-
ing passages follow here:
Labor Day, 1918, is not like any Labor
Day that We have known. Labor Day was
always deeply significant with US. Now it
is supremely significant

n'itted to control the destinies and the daily
fortunes OF men and nations, plotting while
honest men work laying the fires of which
innocent men, women and children are to
be the fuel.
You know the nature Of this war. Il Is
war which industry must sustain. The
army of laborers at home is as important
as essential. as the army of fighting men in
the far fields of actual battle And the
laborer is not only needed as much as the
soldier. IT Is his war. The soldier is his
champion and representative To fail to

thus upon the message:

M visionary Work
AVl at Derby

From London Mr. Gompers went to
Derby, where the Trades Union Con-
gress met. 1t soon became evident that
there was much missionary work on
hand for him to do there At the very
opening of the congress President Ogden
told the delegates it was the duty of
workers to take advantage of every op-
portunity that might present itself for
termination of the var And he de-
pored the refusal of the government to
issue passports for an international la
Dor and social conference. He added
that the aim of the workers should be
to get together as means of settling
disputes. That was why he advocated
internationalism between the workers of
the world.
Mr.. Gompers's presence at the con-
gress, however, is described as having
had an excellent effect. It was predict
ed at the outset that his attendance
would bring big victory for leaders
who would have no discussions with
enemy workers until victory has been
won.
He did not address the congress till
last Thursday when he received an en-
thusiastic greeting. From the cabled

not reliable signals. To rush the wait

often means retraction the next day.
The world was set guessing about his
status when on the same day a Petro-
grad dispatch via Copenhagen had Lee

wounded IN two places. Eventually he

"The New York Times" but if he does

lew Will Follow
l. the Hearse

Nor will there be many to mourn the
man who delivered Russia to the Hohen
zollerns. For, as "The Christian Science
Monitor" points out:
"Lenlne did not deny the accusations
brought against him by genuine Socialists
and by the whole Prussian bourgeois press
that IN order to rouse the people he had
accepted money from Germany, but on sew
eral occasions he published articles in
which he said 'for me and nv friends It *
matter OF complete indifference where
the money comes from. Capital belongs 70
the guilty bourgeoisie who are robbinc the
workers. Therefore, the worker has a
sacred right to take this money, wherever
ne finds it and to use it against the bour-
geoisie.'"
But his removal from his position in
Russia may mark the end of the REIGN
of democracy grown mad, thinks THE
New York Evening Post" where one
reads:
His loss, if ne really has been killed,
will eliminate the brains and motive energy
from his faction. His was the clear-think-

things:
