LABOR WILL DO
ITS PART IN 1920

ciated Press) Samuel Gompers,
president of the American Federation
of Labor in New Year statement,
full share in working out the coun-
try's problems of 1920. Mr.. Conn
pers said:
Americas workers stand ready in
the new year as in the past, to do
their 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 il
necessary to fight for that ideal
against agencies. that sought TO estab-
lish special privilege. Those fights
have not been in defense of class ad-
vantages, but 10 assure to wage-earn-
ers the rights and opportunities that
all should possess. Our struggles may
have brought discomfort to others, but
they prevented a greater evil---deteri-
oration of the virtility of a part of
the nation.
THE great struggle of labor In 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 in
fluence in shops and factories. Our
recognition for our demands. But our
work is not all militant We are in a
position to contribute to the improve
ment of production. processes and or
ganiZation.
"The immediate problem of the
world is to develop a production or
ganization that will benefit directly
those who are the real producers and
will also serve the needs of starving
nations. When assured of just deal
ings, Americas workers are able to
co operate in freeing production from
the preventing grasp of spectators
and influences that manipulate indus
try to enrich a few who gain unfair
advantage, thus preventing produc-
ton. for the ruin of all.
"This is a big JOB. but it is essential
for well-grounded development in the
years to come. 1t is essential to that
ideal which is America-equaI oppor-
tunty for all. Americas workers will
do their full share In working out all
our country's problems.
Hail to the new year. 1920! May
it bring freedom. glory and happiness
to all our people"
