Washington, Feb. 1S.-"This is la
bor's war. It must be won by labor,

This Is the conclusion reached in a

United States and indorsing President
Wilson's war aims placed before con-
gress. The council has been in ses-

The declaration says the peace par
leys between Russia and Germany
have shown the futility of diplomatic
negotiations until the German mill
tarists are convinced they cannot SUI
perimpose their will on the rest of the
world, and that spontaneous upris-
ings in Germany have demonstrated
that the militarist government still is
stronger than the movement there for
