lished by Jerome II. Rsmiclt q Co., bears
the following notice on every copy; The
author has Internationally assigned all
royalties and profits through THE Sun
Tobacco Fund to the purchase OF
smokes for our boys In France
Writing to the director OF the fund
the composer says: Because Of peace
runnors a number OF friends have already
mentioned that they suppose we will now
discontinue efforts for the smoke fund
My reply has been that we will not. for
the reason that e will take many months
to get our boys back ACROSS the water,
and that smokes win be urgently needed
for another year.
There will be, after the enthusiasm
has subsided, n general tendency to neg
lect the efforts with which we have been
previously Identified, and II therefore
seems to me. as an outsider. that we
should. II anything, work harder than
ever for the smoke fund

,GOMPERS SAYS WAR
WAGES MUST STAND
Head Of Federation Of Labor
Warns Of Bitter Fight
by Unions.
ISSUES BOLD CHALLENGE
Says Time Has Come When
the Working People Are Com
ing Into Their Own.

LAREDO, Tex, Nov. 16.-Samuel Com
pers president of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor. in the closing hours Of
the Pan-American labor conference here
served formal warning to-day that no
general reduction Of wages or increase
In working hours after the war would
be accepted without bitter fight by
organized labor.
Mr.. Gompers issued a statement in
spired by a recent public utterance OF
William II. Barr, president of the Ma
tional Founders Association. that a re-
duction Of wages and longer hours
would be the only means to enable
American manufacturers to continue to
cope with foreign industries after the
war. .,t
Notice Is given here and now" Mr..
Compers said, that the American peo-
pie will not be forced back by either
Barr, his association or all the Bourbons
in the United States"
Mr.. Gompers read into the record
published statement in which Mr.. Barr
was quoted.
perhaps I might not have taken no.
tice Of this declaration II the same e1iar-
aeter of information had not come to me
from various quarters" Mr.. Gompers
said. There are some people who will
not understand. there are some people
who do not understand. all that Is meant
By the willingness Of the people OF the
dsmocracles to fight and make the sacri-
flees In order that a better time shall
come to the worker. The time has come
In the world when the working people
are coming into their own. They have
new rights aud new advantages. They
have made the sacrifices and they are
going to enjoy the better things for which
the whole world has been in a convul-
sion.
1.-THE American labor movement whole
heartedly supported this world struggle
and we knew just what was involved.
The American labor movement win Co
operate with all other agencies to help in
this reconstruction time. Our movement
In not to destroy but to construct. And
MI may just as we'll understand now as
at any time that the advantage which
the workers OF America and Of the allied
countries have gained and which we
hope to extend to the people even of the
conquered countries are not going to be
taken away from us. And we will resist
that attempt to the utmost"
The conference adjourned after Pan
American Federation Of Labor had been
formed and Samuel Gompers elected its
chairman. The new organization Is to
be composed of delegates from the Amer
lean Federation OF Labor and from the
labor organizations Of other Pan-Ameri-
can republics
The objects OF the new labor fedora
tion are the establishment OF better con-
ditions for working people who emigrate
from one American country to another
the esta bIishment OF better understand
Ing among the working people OF all the
Americas and the utilization OF every
