GOMPERS REJECTS
A GERMAN LURE
Fights Shy Of a Workers Con-
ference" Proposed by Teuton
Labor Leader.

New York, Feb. 25.-Samuel Gompers,
President of the American Federation
of Labor, announced yesterday that Karl
Legien, head of the Federated Trade
Unions of Germany and Social Democrat
leader in the Reichstag, had sent him an
invitation to attend or TO send representa-
tives of the federation to attend a workers
conference to discuss peace.
This conference was to be attended, IT
possible, by workers delegates from all
the allied countries, according to the
German wish MIR Gompers replied to
Herr Legien that no American workers
delegates would meet with the Germans.
The invitation to the American workers
to indulge in peace talk came to MIR.
Gompers from NJ. Oudergest OF Anster-
dam, labor leader of Holland. Mr.
Gompers said he knew that Oudergest
was speaking for Lcgien. It is under
stood that the same invitation went to
the labor leaders of England and France.
Mr.. Gompers refused To say whether he
had knowledge OF what their reply to
Iegien was. but he made il very plain
what the tenor of the reply of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor was. He said
that his reply made it PLAIN that American
workers were now very busily engaged III
the task of defeating the Kaiser and had
no wish TO attempt To modify the situation
by parlcys with delegates of German
workers.
Legion is a pro-war Socialist lnas-
much as he is supporting the kaiser's
war program there was special force IN
the observation of Mr.. Gompers that, on
the face of it, it was plain that the Kaiser
would give passports to no delegates to
a labor conference who were not bound
TO be his minions.
When asked when he had received the
invitation from Leglen Mr.. Gompers
replied, "Nery recently The matter
was referred to the Executive Council
Of the \ merican Federation of Labor
which was responsible for the reply Mr.
Gompers sent TO Herr Legion.
