G0npers' Defense of
 Short Work Day
Gives Notice That Eight Hour Day Would Be Shortened If Labor Could Accomplish Its Purpose.

Washington, Nov. 5.-Malling his first address before the international labor conference, in which he sits as an unofficial representative Of .Aneri- can labor, Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, declared today for the straight eight hour day. as maximum as compared with~the 48hour week and incidentally served notice that in the United States even the eight-hour day. would be shortened if labor could accomplish is purpose.
 Mir. Gc,npcrs spoke in reply to q IHa jurity report on the part of en- ployer delegates favoring the principle Of reducing working hours but stating that it could nol be put in force gen erally at this time owing to the need for increased production as result Of tie war.
 The report. submitted by D. s. Majoribanks of Great Britain. pointed out the need for special effort "te make good the shortage of food sup plies, the reconstruction of devastated areas and the replacement of machin- cry" and declared that the progressive increase in the cost of living would lead to disaster unless the needs of the present situatIcc were considered in conjunclion with the aims Of the labor representatives. '.
 Stoutly denying that output could be increased over a considerable period of time by lengthening hours, MT. Gompers characterized the American workman the most productive worker in the worlG and said industrial history proves the eight hour day to be more productive than ten or twelve hour day. = Late in the conference session MT. Gompers again took the floor to move | that the entire subject of hours Of work be referred to a commission. A motion offered yesterday by George N
 Barnes, member of the British war | ministry and government delegate. and l numerous amendments proposed today 1 had been the. subject of discussion | throughout the session. and Mir. Com pers proposed that the whole matter | be sent to a committee.
 The American labor leaders motion l was. lost by vote of 30 to Al. with
 majority of the labor delegates vot- 1 ing "Nd@' MT. Gompers raised his ] hand in the affirmative, but his vote was not counted by the secretary be- cause of his unofficial status.

"UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
"A PROCLAMATION.

T iASS-NNi1 ttOiNs
 The season of the year has again arrived when the people of the United States are accustomed to unite in giv- ing thanks to Almighty God for the blessings which He has conferred up- on our country during the twelve months that have passed. 4 year ago our people poured out their hearts in praise and thanksgiving that through Divine aid the right was victorious and peace had come to the nations which had so courageously struggled in de- fense of human liberty and justice. Now that the stern task is ended and the fruits Of achievement are ours we look forward with confidence to the dawn of an era where the sacrifices of the nations will find recompense in g. world at peace.
 7 ''But-te- attain the contamination of the great work to which the American people devoted their manhood and the vast resources of their country they should give thanks to God. reconse crate themselves to those principles of right which triunphed through His mercifuI goodness: Our gratitude can find no more perfect expression than to bulwark with loyalty and patriotism those principles for which the. free peoples of the earth fought and died.
 During the past year we have had much to make us grateful; in spite of the confusion in our economic life re- sulting from tine war we have pros pered Our harvests have. been plenti- ful and of our abundance we have been: able to render succoF to less fla voreds nations.s Our democracy i. re- mains -unshaken in a world, torn with political and social unrest. Cur tradi- tional ideals, are still our guides in the path of pfogress and. civilization. These great blessings, vouchsafed to us, for which we. devoutly give thanks should arouse us Ito. a fuller sense of our duty to ourselves and to mankind to see to 1t that nothing we may do shall mar, the completeness of the victory which we helped to win. 1 No selfish purpose animated sus@in be- coming participants in the world war, and with. like spirit of unselfshness we should strive to aid by our exam : pie and by our cooperation in realizing | the enduring welfare of all peoples and in bringing into. being world ruled by friendship and good will.
 Therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States of ! America, hereby designate Thursday 1 the 27th day of November next. for observance as a day of thanksgiving and prayer By my fellow countrymen, | inviting them to cease on that day from their ordinary tasks and to unite in their homes and in their several places of worship in ascribing praise l and thanksgiving to God the Author
 of all blessings and the Master of our | destinies.
