Day of T tyranny Gone
Gompers Tells Labor
Chiefs at Conference
Opening Day Is Series of Triumphs for A. F
Of L. Leader, Who Is Elected Chairman
Of International Affairs Committee.

Atlantic City. N. J.. June s.-"The
day of tyranny and autocracy, pcliti-
cal or industrial is gone. American
working people are one hundred per
cent determined that their lives shall
be secure"
This assertion by Samuel Gompers
at the opening of the thirty-ninth an
nual convention of the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor today brought the
vast assemblage of delegates and
spectators to their feet cheering and
applauding for several minutes.
The day was a series OF triumphs
for Mr.. Gompers. who was named
chairman Of the Committee on Inter
national Affairs without any sign OF
the opposition that had been threat
ened before the convention. The
number of delegates in attendance was
SIS. representing thirty-one States.
ninety-nine international unions, 13
central bodies and seventy-one locals.
It was the largest attendance in the
history of the federation.
Mr.. Gompers. referring to the arbi-
trary policy Of the Willys-overland
Automobile Corporation toward strik-
ing employees. said:
.If any employer of labor believes
that industrial autocracy or despotism
is going to prevail in America. he
counts without his host.
Get Backing of Labor.
For their services every working
man and woman is entitled to a we'll
rounded life for themselves and their
children. Labor is going to see that
they get it"
Mr.. Gompers showed no trace OF the
effects Of his recent accident as he
delivered his stirring address in res
onant tones, accompanied by vigor-
Gus gestures. He faced an audience
that packed the seaward end of the
great Steel Pier. Frequent applause
gave proof that he had lost none of
his popularity with American labor
during the world war.
In his address Mr.. Gompers said
the war has opened the way to a
new era in which the workers will
have a voice in the determination of

U. s. DUTY BOUND
To NICARAGUA
So Believe Officials Here in
Dispute with Costa
Rica.

The United States is honor and
duty bound to take arms with
Nicaragua IL the Latin-American
republic is attacked by Costa Rica.
according to government diplo-
matte officials.
The situation as viewed here is
regarded as grave The United
States has a ship on either side
of Nicaragua ready for action
should Costa Rica commence hos
tiIitics. but as the army now how
e.ing on the Nicaraguan border
numbers over 5000 men it is OBJ
vious that more adequate rein
forcemenls will be needed mas
much as the strength of the Nj
caragGan forces is only about 500.
Tho Nicaraguan-Costa Rica case
is regarded as unique. Nicaragua
was disarmed by the United States
five or six years ago when loans
were made to her with the condi-
tion that the money was not to be
used for military purposes. As a
result she has an army of only
500 men.
Nicaragua has necessarily ap-
peaied to the United States for
assistance and the governments
position today is that Nicaragua
must be protected.
Nicaragua bases her claim for
military assistance on the facts
that she has made great territorial
concessions such as canal rights tc
the United States and went into
the war against Germany in hsr-
mony with us.

PENSION CLAUSE
UP TO SENATE
Urgent Deficiency Bill Con.
tanning School Items Re-
ported in Committee.

Containing an appropriation OF
$4,000 for longevity pay for the
school teachers of the District OF
Columbia, the urgent deficiency bill
was reported to the Senate yester-
day from the committee on appro-
priations.
The longevity clause provides the
appropriation "for the director OF
intermediate instruction. the super
vising principals. the supervisor and
assistant supervisor of manual train
ing. the principals of Normal High
and Manual Training High schools
the assistant principal of Central
High school. the principals of the
grade manual training high schools
the heads of departments. the direc-
tor and assistant director of pri-
mary instruction, and others"
Only $1,000 is. allowed as an al
lowance for principals. The bill does
not state how the longevity pay Is
to be apportioned. and all the de.
tails of the plan are left to the
Board of Education.
The item for the maintenance OF
Jail prisoners is reduced from $780,.
900 to $4,000. and the item of s12.-
900 for the purchase of provisions
at the Washington Asylum hospital
is stricken out. as Is one for ss.5ot
for the construction Of an ice or cold
storage plant at the morgue. These
are the only items changed in the

Republican Leaders Think
ing Seriously Of Framing
Pact with Germany Leav-
ing England, Italy and
France to Ratify Own.

Republican leaders in the Sen.
ate are giving serious thought tc
the possibilities of separate peace
between the United States and
Germany.
Though none of them would
voice his views for publication, il
was indicated yesterday that they
are fully aware that one result oi
Senate opposition to the league oi
nations covenant and the treaty
may be a separate peace
Race to Ratify Pact.
They foresee an attempt to create
a race" between allied nations and
the Senate to ratify the treaty. which
specifically provides that It shall be-
come valid when ratified by three OF
the allied or associated powers.
That is. IL England. France and
Italy-all bound not TO make separate
peace-should ratify the treaty before
the Senate does. It would end the
war SO far as those nations are con-
cerned, and allow them at once to re-
sumo commercial relations with Ger
many.
The United States. however. as the
Senators view It, would remain in q
state of war with Germany while the
other nations are given a head start
on resumption Of business dealings.
That this possibility will be empha-
sized to the Senate Republican sena-
tors have no doubt. They are no,
disturbed by it. however. declaring
they see no calamity in it
Declared War, Can End II, Too.
Congress declared war on Ger
many. and can quite as easily dc,
clare the war ended. in these Sena-
tors opinion. Then by a separst'
treaty of amity and commerce, rofa-
tions. could be resumed
The great advantage OF thi:
course, as Senators see it is that Il
would leave the United States free
of entangling European alliances
Since the United States does moi
share. and has no desire TO share. IN
the territorial or money gains Of
the allies, there is no reason. in the
belief of some Republicans. why q
treaty settling just Americas quar-
rel with Germany should not b.
drawn up.
This course would defeat the league
Of nations. unless the Senate, voting
on IL separately from the treaty now
being completed. should agree to join
the allies in forming IL.
Whether they are willing to go TO
this length TO defeat the league, these
Republican Senators declined at this
time to say, though they are all hos
tile to the league. II they should
adopt this course, It was pointed out,
a filibuster until three other powers
have ratified the treaty would be all
that would be needed.

ification will not be immediate in
