seven centuries.

COMPERS CHOSEN HEAD
Of LABOR Commission
American Delegation Will Support
3elgians, Who Refuse to Meet
Germans at Bern.

PARIS. February l (by the Asso-
ciated Press). The commission on
international legislation OH labor of
the peace con ference unanimously
elected Samuel Gompers, president Of
the American Federation of Labor, as
president at a meeting today. Arthur
Fontaine of the French ministry OF
labor was elected general secretary,
with Mr. Batter, a British delegate,
as Joint general secretary. The com
mission decided to name Two secre-
taries, one Italian, Palma Castigliore.
and one Belgian, who is to be named
later and who viii also represent the
nations with special interests.
Those present at the meeting in
Guided Edward n. Hurley.
NJ. ColiIard, the: French minister of
labor, said: Our work will be the
conservation of the democratic idea
on an economic ground 1t will give
peace it's complete signification by
guaranteeing the dignity. and liberty
of human labor by an international
convention
NJ Colliard, in proposing Mr.. Com
pers as president of the commission,
said: no one appears TO me to be
better qualified than the president of
the greatest and most powerful work
ers' organization in the world. Such
a choice would. furthermore, be le-
ultimate homage to his life's devo
ton to the workers, entirely conse-
Grated to the struggle for social JUS
tice." "a
The American delegation. headed
by Mr.. Gompers, decided tonight to
Support the Belgian socialists and
trade unionists who refuse to meet
the Germans: at either the socialist or
trade union congresses which will
convene simultaneously at Bern next
week ~.
This decision was adhered to
through a two-day sess;on, despite
the protests of the British and French
trade unionists, who will go to Bern
tomorrow
The delegates Of twenty-five ma
lions, including such national groups
of the former Russian empire as the
Ukrainians- and Esthonians, are now
at Bern. or on their. way there. The
four abstentions from both congresses
are the Americans and Belgians. who
refuse to parley with their late enc
mics until peace is signed. and the
bolshevil1i, with whom the Norwegian
trade unionists agree that neither the
socialist nor the trade union program
Is sufficiently radical. thus taking the
opposite Viewpoint from that of the
Americans and Belgians.

ALASKA is RETARDED
BY POOR MAIL SERVICE

Discussing Alaskan affairs in the SEN
ate yesterday, Senator Jones of Wash
ingtoD charged that deplorable mail
service was among reasons for business
depression there and for the decline of
white population. Senator Thomas of
Colorado declared that the government s
restrictive mining policy contributed to
these conditions.
Improvement this season, however,
was predicted by Senator Jones, who
said people already were starting to re-
turn in the revival of industrial condi-
tons. Supporting the aerial mail ap-
preparation in the post office bill, the
Washington senator urged the use of
hydroplanes in southeastern Alaskan
mail service.
Senators Kirby Of Arkansas and King
of Utah said air mail service would be
too costly considering the number of
white people to be served. The latter
said Gov. Strong of Alaska recently ad-
vised the committee that the white
population has dwindled to about Is, 900.

Argument for League.

All these differences gave indication
of breeding more war before the pres

stood here that these disputes formed
one of the argume nts employed by
the advocates of league of nations.
While the troubles have not been ad-
juSted by any means, the conflicts
Will be fought to an issue at the
peace conference, and not on the field
of battle. Moreover the rival claims
of many of these groups may be more
talked of than ever, because they are
becoming the subjects of extensive
propaganda campaigns. But the fear
of renewed fighting. which was acute
in some cases, especially that of
Jugoslavia and Italy, has consider
ably abated.
