PARIS. Feb. 5.-Concerning the labor
outlook in Europe, The Tribune cor
respondent has obtained the following

MISSION on interAllied labor lcgisla-
ton. of which Samuel Gompers is

II trace the labor unrest to two
things: First. the general feeling on
III part O, workmen that the ere
entitled to better place IN the scheme
o. things; secondly, the growing power
y the last dozen years of what might
be called the insurgent element in trade
unions.
"Rcgarding the first, we arc up
against the inconsistency that we have
in educating the people and yet failing
to give them the place they naturally
expected education would bring, created
desires and expectations which we have
not satisfied. The workman, when IL
lterate, accepted place Of subordina~
tion, and now when educated, he feels
the impulse of a sense Of new and
higher needs. He has caught glimpses
of word of leisure and refinement,
from which are derived economic un-
rest and disturbance.
Remedy for Bolsheyism
"To my mind, The final remedy for
Bolshevism, so called, is the concession
to labor of better place in the scheme
of things, more elevated and an amel-
iorated standard of existence. | think
the hours of labor must be reduced so
as to give a man a chance Of living his
life out of the workshop, and, by better
organization, link up men in workshops
with trade unions on the one side and
with employers organizations on the
other, so as to give man the con-
sclousness that he is. industriallv. a
human factor and not mere cog in
the wheel of the industrial machine.
"The 'irhumanity that makes count
less thousands mourn must be elimi-
mated from the new social industrial
order.
Regarding the second point, think
salvation lies in the government
and all concerned holding as a first
principle and acting up to it the
tull recognition of trade unionism and
OF duly accredited representatives of
trade unions as the only spokesmen for
organized labor
