Motion picture producers have de-
veloped such a keen desire TO acquire

LABOR PLEDGES
IT'S FULL DUTY
Obligations as Americans
Above All Other Inter-
ests, Gompers Says
ASKS EQUALITY
FOR ALL CLASSES

WASHINGTON, Jan. i-Samuel Comp
ers. president Of the American Fedora
tion Of Labor, in a New Year state
ment. pledged Americas workers to do
their full charc in working out the
country's problems OF 1920. Mr.. Com
pers said:
Americas workers stand ready in
the New Year, as in the past, 10 do their
fun duty as American citizens. We
have always placed our obligations as
citizens above all else. As citizens we
are true to the American ideal OF equal
opportunity for all
IN The past we have found It neces-
sary 20 fight for that ideal against
az ncies that sought TO establish spe-
cial privilege. Those fights have not
been in defense Of class advantages. but
TO assure 10 wage earners The rights
and opportunities that all should pos
scss. our struggles may have brought
discomfort TO others. but they prevent
ed a greater evil vil-deterioratlOn Of the
virilliy OF a part OF the nation.
"The great struggle OF labor I'm the
past has been TO assure TO workers in
their industrial relations the rights OF
free citizens We have fought TO give
the ideal OF America dominating influ-
ence In shops and factories. our mill
tant struggle has won general recogni-
tion for our demands. But our work is
not all militant. We are IN a position
to contribute to the improvement OF
production processes and organization.
The imm dlate problem OF the world
is to develop a production organization
that will benefit directly those who
are the real producers. and also Will
serve the needs OF starving nations.
When assured OF Just dealings. Ameri-
cas- workers are able TO cooperate in
freeing production from the preventing
grasp Of spectators and influences that
industry TO enrich a few
who gain unfair advantage, thus pre-
venting production for the ruin Of all.
THAT is a big job, but it is essential
for well grounded development in the
years TO come. 10 Is essential to that
ideal which is America's-equal opp0r-
tunity for ALL Americas workers viii
do their full share in working out all
our cOuntry's problems.
Hail TO the New Year, 1920. May ii
bring freedom, glory, and happiness TO
all our people"
