LABOR WILL FIGHT
GOmpers States Position of
American Unions.
Oppose Any Compromise With
AutOcratic Rulers.

London, Sept. 18.-Samuel Com
pers, president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, presenting the pro-
posals OF that organization at the in
ter-allied labor conference today, said
the delegation is unprejudiced and
open minded, but that it is bound by
the principles expressed in the pro-
posals.
The following. he said, are the es-
sential fundamental principles for a
peace treaty:
Peace Terms.
A league of free peoples; no polit-
ical, economic or discriminatory re-
strictions, no indemnities or reprisals
for indicative or injurious purposes,
but to right manifest wrongs; .recog-
milton of the rights of small nations;
no territorial changes, except for the
welfare of the peoples affected.
The American Federation Of Labor
delegation submitted the following
proposals to the conferences:
That the conference is unqualifiedly
determined to assist the allies in driv-
ing the central powers armies from
the invaded nations. Thus 1t is de-
termined to oppose the central powers
armies so long as they are under con-
troll of the autocratic governments;
that it endorses President Wilson's
fourteen points; that the workers
should officially be represented on
each belligerent delegation at the
peace conference and that it favors a
world labor conference to be held
simultaneously.
C. L. Baine, American delegate,
presided at the morning session. He
said he hoped the conference would
be able to arrive at unanimous con-
clusions regarding war aims, which.
he said, are so clear that neither
friends nor enemies should misunder-
