PARIS, France. April IL have just
had an exclusive interview with Sam
uel Gompers concerning the compile
ton of the report of the International
Labor Conference to the peace con-
gress.
"Our recommendation, when embo-

mendous influence toward the defeat
of Bolshevik elements seeking to de-
stroy what organized labor a won
at great cost, through years of strug-
GLE" said Gompers.
The latest preventive of Bolshevism
Is the enforcement OF fair wages and
fair working conditions.
when the working people Of the
world discover that they ave a new
deal under a labor charter signed by
all the members of the League of Ma
tons and enforceable through the
leagues moral and economic pressure
they'll be slow discarding this to ac-
cept the chaos into which destructiv-
lists have led Russia.

by Utopian oratory. 1t is as strongly
opposed to a dictatorship by mar

faction to see the principles which it
won through a consistent policy en-
bodied in a treaty as q basis for an
international program to which prac-
tically all of the civilized nations will
