SAMUEL GOMPERS'
SERMON ON THRIFT
tFor Labor Papers

WASHINGTON, June Sam
uel Gompers today placed the seal
of approval of Organized Labor
upon the savings campaign Of the
United States Treasury Department.
The President of the American
Federation of Labor, in his state
ment, declared that a grateful Re
public could not fail to give due ap-
probation both to those who sold
War Savings and Thrift Stamps and
those who bought them because
each aided to gather together the
mites which formed the grand to-
tails to keep the machinery of
Democracy in order.
Mr. Gompers said that the habit
of saving and the purchase of
Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps was no less duty now
than it was when the war was in
progress. The duties performed
outside the limelight and without
great public acclaim, he said. were
no less duties worthy of commenda-
ton. He urged that none should
allow the great events and issues
of the present to take their
thoughts wholly away from the
quiet duties demanded by patriot
ism and the interest of the people
of America.
Mr.. Gompers' statement in full
follows:
Let not the great issues and
events of today take our thoughts
wholly away from those small and
quiet duties without the perform
ance of which the larger scheme of
things may be endangered. The
great wheels often must be turned
by a silent power which exerts its
force whore there is no limelight
and no great acclaim. But the
great wheels must be turned.
The sale of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps helps to keep the
great wheels of the American gov
eminent turning at their proper
speed, With the high pitch of war
excitement almost gone, this work
is one of perseverance in the line
of duty. The men and women who
sell and the men and women who
buy are doing a work no less
worthy than it was when our troops
went charging over the Hindenburg
line. 1t is no less worthy now than
it was when the drums were beat
ing. And it is no less needed
ITO the 10000 Secretaries of
War Savings Societies, may | say
that theirs is a fine work, a neces-
sary work and one to which every
thoughtful person will wish to
bring them help.
But there is another side to the
sale of these stamps. While it
helps our government, it also helps
those who buy. 1t helps them to be
careful of their money. 1t helps
them to lay by a little which will
stand to their credit as resource.
This is surely a worth while thing
to do.
And so the work of selling War
Savings and Thrift Stamps does
two things. 1t helps get money for
our government at time when it
needs money. 1t helps the pur-
chaser of stamps to accumulate a
little money that he may need at a
later time.
1T is good work. A grateful
Republic cannot fail in apprecia-
ton of the toll and sacrifice of ev-
cry person who has a part in this
wonderful gathering of the mites
of the people until they bulk large
in grand totals that go to keep the
machinery of Democracy in order.
