Compers Pleads for
Labor's Share i'm
Fruits of Progress
American Federation Chief
Tells Foreign Relations
Council That Workers
Are Entitled to Share

After the failure Of the Administra-
ton to protect American interests in
Mexico had been sharply criticised and
The necessity of refrainlng from busi-
Ecss transactions with countries lack
ing stable governments had been en-
phaslzed at the dinner of the Council
on Foreign Relations, at the Hotel
Astor last night, Samuel Gompers got
up and made one of the strongest pleas
he has yet uttered for support of
organized labor from the American
business man.
The American labor movement" he
said, "as represented by the American
Federation Of Labor, is simply this:
We believe in progress. We believe
that all the fruits of the genius of past
ages and of to-day do not belong to
any particular class-that they belong
to every man who gives service to So
ciety and aids civilization.
~ you gentlemen stand like stone
wall against that concept'-and here
he let his gaze travel very SLOWLY
round the table and his voice took on
deep fervor-"if you stand as a
united body against that presentation
of thought and ideas, no one knows
with what you may have to contend
with later.
Labor's Policy Outlined
"We present the policy of making
the life of the masses of our people
better and better and better-a better
day to-day than yesterday, a better
day tomorrow than to-day, better
day every day thereafter in the life
OF the people OF our country.
"1f that policy of the American labor
movement is opposed, and by opposi-
tion destroyed, then our work, our
will be sent to destruction.
"If we are impotent, if we are inca
pable Of securing for the workers i'm
provements in their conditions, then
we ought not to exist" All round the
board the guests sat forward at that.
1t was taken as a direct emphasis Of
Mr. Gompers's expressed opposition Of
the day before to the project of an
American Labor party.
Warns of Outbreak
"For if we are not on the right track
then those who represent the widest
orgy of destruction, who have no con-
sideration for the rights of individuals,
will come to the front. 1t is a matter
of choice for you whether you will deal
with such elements or deal with the
constructive forces of the organized
labor movement Of the country"
Mr.. Gompers followed H. Y. Brandon,
high commissioner from Australia, who
had declared against the principle of
compulsory arbitration in labor dis
putes. The American labor dean echoed
that opposition.
Otto II. Kahn, followed Mr.. Gompers
and pronounced solemn amen to the
lattcr's sentiments.
"What he advises" said Mr.. Kahn,
eve must all try to do--particularly
because it is he who advises it, For
Mr.. Gompcrs has proved his strength
and wisdom. And in the past, it should
not be forgotten, when 1T was ncces-
sary, he has had the courage to stand
against those he represented, to teach

Rioting in Cologne
Stopped by Arriual
OF British Vanguard

COLOGNE, Dec. 7 (By The Associ-
ated Press). - Order has been re-
established in Cologne as the result
of the arrival of an advance guard of
British troops. There had been several
days of the keenest anxiety in the city,
caused by extensive riots and pillaging
on the part of mobs of the lower
classes. with attendant bloodshed when
the turbulent element clashed with
hastily organized guards of respon-
sible citizens armed with rifles and
machine guns.
The disorders began on Wednesday
night after the withdrawal of the
continued the next night in various
quarters on a large scale.
Much damage was done to property
and large quantity of goods was
stolen from the stores.
According to Burgomaster Adenauer,
the rising was due to the inability Of
the poor 20 obtain food and clothing,
owing to the scarcity Of these neces-
sites. He thought there was little
reason to doubt, however, that the
trouble was due in part to the freshly
nculcated Bolshevik idea among the
ropulace that it was needless to work
restraint exercised by the presence Of
nerves of the people seem to have
given way and they went out to take
forcibly what they were unable to buy.
The regular police were unable to
handle the situation and 5000 of the
citizens were called and armed by the
burgomaster to maintain order A
fight between the rioters and this
civic guard resulted in several of the
rioters being killed. The burgomaster,
finding that conditions continued to be
grave. then applied to the armistice
commission 10 hasten the Allied occupa-
ton.
The troubles ceased with the aap-
pearance of the troops yesterday. To-
day Gordon of British forces was
thrown out from the city along the
Rhine.

down into a dug-out and put their cap

the sorest doughboy on the Western
front, mounting guard over that bunch
when he wanted to be up at the front
with his company!
"The Germans at St. Quentin had
their artillery we'll massed and their
firing was good. Then in every open
space we came to the machine gun fire
was terrific, for they had machine guns
planted about every five feet. These
were all one7man guns and the ar
tillery seemed to make little impress
sion on them, but we got them"
Troops who came back on the En-
press of Britain were greeted enthusi-
astically by those who were leaving
Camp Mills for their homes after be-
ing mustered out of service. Both in
coming and departing troops were
largely from aero squadrons which had
been training in England.
