BY the formation of the Pan-Ameri-

has been built
This foundation is not the work of
exploiters, nor of diplomats or minis

would develop fraternity between the
peoples of the United States, Canada,

The meeting of organized workers
in Laredo, Texas, that resulted in the
Pan-American Federation of Labor
was attended by President Gompers
and the executive council of the A.

from Mexico, Honduras, Nicaragua,
Porto Rico, Costa Rica and Salvador
and officers of national and interna-

Especial Representative The Denver Labor
Bulletin.)
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Andrew
Furuseth left for Chicago today to con-
suit with the executive board of the
international Seamen's Union of
America before sailing for Europe to
organize the worldwide protest of
seamen against the proposed sacrifice
of the LaFollette seamen's act. He
will be on guard over the Magma
Charta of the sailors at Versailles
when the peace congress is in session
there II there has been any doubt
in the minds of American shipowners
as to whether their attempt to kill
the seamen's act would fail, that doubt
may now be dropped.
When the new International Union
of Seamen was forced by delegates
from the seamen's unions of England,
Holland, Denmark, Norway and Swe-
den, at Copenhagen last June, the con-
ference went on record for the equali-
zation of the wages Of seamen in Eu-
rope. That action represented the
desire of the seamen from the ports
paying the least wages to secure laws
that would permit them to get the
benefit of the highest wage paid in
any European port.
When Chairman Hurley of the
United States shipping board, former
ly president of the Illinois Manufac-
turers' Association, was sailing for Eu-
rope a few days ago, he announced
that he was going abroad to secure
thru the peace congress an "erualiza-
ton and stabilization" of the wages
of seamen, as between this country
and Europe.
As the American seaman now has a
far higher level of wages than is paid
in the average port of Europe, Hur-
ley's proposal means simply that he
is going to try TO destroy the seamen's
act by lowering the American stand
ard of wages, abolishing the freedom
of the sailors to quit their jobs when
in port in order to get better jobs,
and in effect wiping out the emancipa-
tion of the seamen Mt the very mo-
ment of the triumph of the war for
worldwide democracy.
In a letter to President Wilson,
Furuseth points out that the act, if
enforced in freedom, will itself equal
ize wages, and thru its language
clause will save the sea-power Of the
world to the white race. He says
at the London conference on safety
at sea, five years ago. fully under
stood that the freedom for seamen
proposed in the act would equalize
wage cost, and would thus make the
United States dangerous rival on
the ocean.
THE effort was then to prevent the
bill from becoming law" he says.
"The effort at the coming peace con-
ference will be to nullify this law.
There are comparatively few men high
enough in public life to be considered
as possible peace commissioners.
There are still fewer of those who
understand the economic aspect of this
law and who can therefore see its ma
tional aspect. The most astute appeals
to class interests will be used to dis
guise the national interests behind the
efforts made, and the commissioners
ought to be specifically instructed on
this subject. Moreover, there ought
to be some among them who can see
and understand. Such men are known
to you"
President Wilson understands, and
amid thousand other cares while at
the peace congress he will try to watch
over the interests of American sea-
men and European seamen, and the
