MAKE WORLD SAFE FIRST
FOR LABOR, SAYS A. F. L. HEAD
Mr.. Gompers Upholds Treaty Provision
as Tending to Raise Level Of Workers
and Protect Gains Made.

our states 1t should be sixteen.
Children working at lower age
make it harder to improve and to
keep the present child standards. So
with women. Every woman toiling
twelve and fourteen hours a day
renders it harder for every woman
working eight hours a day-it should
be six-to keep her hours secure.
THE world needs to be made safe
for labor as well as for democracy.
The world cannot be safe for democ-
racy until it is safe for labor The
only sure protection for any labor
anywhere is universal justice to all
labor everywhere.

so long in the Senate. propose to gain
this.
"Forward March" Command.
This cannot come in a day, in a
year or in a. decade; but it is possible
to- turn the world of nations in, this
direction. to give this command of
Forward, march; to keep the world
moving until this great end is won.
This cannot be done If the treaty is
amended or delayed.
Senator Fall of New Mexico has
already proposed that the labor ar
ticles of the treaty be cut out under
the pretense that they level down.
They do not. The article Of the treaty
creating a conference of labor in
which all nations are represented pro-
vides that the article shall be inter-
preted in accordance with the follow
ing principles: In no case shall any
member he asked or required as

mendation or draft convention by the
conference to lessen the protection
afforded by its existing. legislation to

of a labor paper with headlines pro-
claiming the theater unfair to organised

the National Guard Association in a
statement made public last night

The corps would be under the direc-

The new plan differs from the pro-
poSal of the War Department, which
would subject all nineteen-year-old
youths to military training. in that

public schools at the age of fourteen.
Later they would be given two months

they would serve two years and nine
months before being placed in re-
serve for three years.
Estimating that 100000 youths
would be graduated into the guard
every year, the statement said that

1.-THE success of this plan," the
statement continued, would be large

law that the force would have its
own general staff section of the
greater general staff of the Army.
''The professional officers of the
proposed force would consist of the
general staff section or. as it might
better be termed, the National Guard
Corps section of the general staff. the

signed to each division"
To re-establish the National Guard

SAYS KNOX PLAN INVITES
HUNS TOANACK FRANCE
Senator Nelson Declares Non-Par-

Would Isolate Ally.

Senator Nelson, republican, Minneso-
ia, in statement tonight through the
League to Enforce Peace declared that
the reputation Of the pending treaty
as advocated by Senator Knox Of Penn
sylvania in the Senate Friday is an open
invitation to Germany to attack France
in the event that the policy advocated is
adopted" Senator Knox in the speech
referred to asserted he was convinced
that the only safe way for US to DEAL
with the treaty IS to decline to be
party to it at all"
The non-participation Of the United
States in the league Of nations would
isolate France and leave her exposed to
German attack on the east" said Sem
ator Nelson, who, referring to Senator
Knox, added:
He would have us, after we have
come to the rescue of mankind at the
crucial time and saved France from
coming under the iron heel Of German
militarism, leave the ruins Of that
France we have saved to be gathered up
by her enemy, an enemy whose hatred
and evil purpose have not been changed
by the enforced signing Of this treaty"

Gompers did not deal with the situa-
ton as a whole. Nor did he indicate
upon what was based the hope that
the controversy between the steel
men and the United States Steel Cor
poration would be adjusted without
resort to a strike.
President Wilson was asked Friday
to intervene in the controversy, but
as he has as yet made no move, some
officials believed he had declined to
take a hand. Meantime, the time
steel corporation to answer the mems
request for a conference has expired

Cigarmakers and Actors Endorsed.
Endorsement of two strikes-those
Of the cigarmakers and actors-by the
federatfon's executive council was an
nounced. The cigarmakers were
pledged the full moral and financial
support" Of the federation. which
promised also to appeal to all labor
and friends of labor to come to the
financial and moral assistance Of those
engaged in the strike. 1t was said
at federation headquarters that about
10000 cigarmakers, mostly women
and children, were out in New York,
Chicago and other cities.
Regarding the Amsterdam confer
ence of international trade unions.
which he attended as an American
delegate, Mr.. Gompers said it had
voted Overwhelmingly against any
bolshevik principles or tendencies.
The report of the American delegates,
he said, showed that the wave of boil
shevism has receded.
No reference was made by Mr..
Gompers to the Presidents decision
not to grant general wage increases
to railroad employees at this time.
Fears No Immediate Strike.
Mr.. Gompers failed also to touch
upon the railroad shopmen's question
"a body of half million railroad
workers who, dissatisfied with wage
conditions and who have demanded of
the United States Railroad Admins
tration a substantial increase in
wages to meet increased costs of liv-
ing, and who have taken a referen-
dunn vote on the question of whether
they shall accept President Wilson's
offer and continue at their tasks, or
strike.
When asked about this matter Mr.
Gompers declined to discuss 1t. Off

road shopmen have said that the

ingly in favor of the strike policy,
