DECLARES LABOR
STANDS READY
To Do Their Full Share in Working
Out the Nations Problems.

Washington. Dee. 3l.-(By the
Associated Press. }--Samuel Gompers
president CT the American Federation
of Labor. IN new year statement,
pledged Americas workers to do their
full share in working out the coun-
try's problems of 1920. Mr.. Com
pers sa;G:
"America's workers stand ready in
the new year as in the past to do
their full duty as American citizens.
Wee have always placed our obliga-
tions as citizens above all else. AS
citizens we are true to the American
ideal of equal opportunity for all.
Militant Struggle.
s'The great struggle of labor in the
past has been to assure the workers,
in their industrial relations the
right of free citizens. We have
fought to give the ideal of America
dominating influence in shops and
factories. Our militant struggle has
won general recognition for our de-
mands. But our work is not all mill
tant. We are in position to con-
tribute to the improvement of pro-
duction, processes and organization.
Develop Production.
'sThe 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.
'This is big job, but it is essen
tial for we'll grounded development
IL the years to come. 1t is essential
to that ideal which is America
equal opportunity for all. Americas
workers will do their full share in
working out all our country's prob
lens.
''Hail to the new year 1920. May
it bring freedom, glory and happiness
to all our people"

TREATY CONSIDERED
BY SENATE LEADERS
Republicans and Democrats Oevoss
Day to Compromise Discussion.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Getting
down to cases in their discussion OF a
neace treaty compromise, Repuoh-
lan and Democrats senators found
todav that article ten still presented
the biggest stumbling block IN ne
wav of an agreement.
The senate leaders of both pollSlcal
narties again were active during the
dav in the compromise negotiations
and the succession Of conferences was
regarded generally as indicating that
the situation soon might take more
definite form. On all sides 1t was
said that although no agreement was
vet in sight, the sitting process had
cleared away many collateral poinss
and had centered attention on very
few reservations, notably the one re-
Iating to article ten.
# was the reservation on this point
as framed by the foreign relations
committee at the last session Wnlch
President Wilson characterized as
meaning a rejection of the treaty. De-
termined to secure some modification
Democratic senators have presented
a number of suggestions but all OF
them so far have been regarded on
the Republican side as going too TAR
The Republicans in turn, have sug-
gested changes which the Democrats
regard as notifications of language
or4y.
Three conferences attracted par
ticular attention among the many
which were held today regarding the
treaty. Senator Lodge Of NassacAo-
sets, Republican leader, went over

south, STRONGHOLD OF PROHIBITION,
AGAIN CALLED ON AS TORCH BEARER
IN FINAL FIGHT WITH LIQUOR TRAFFIC
SevnDv Campaign January 49, When the National
Amendment Goes Into Saloon League Msha Forces
fr re,t Movement to Finish the Jo-Wod Dry 1890

Even the most casual reader OF the
news Of the day realizes that Prohibl-
ton has It's hardest fight ahead. The
liquor traffic is waging at the pciis,
in the courts and in the public press
the most desperate and determined
fight in its history.
To those who think America now
is dry" all that is necessary is a
glance around you. Reports are COM
ing daily of the death Of one or more
persons from drinking wood alcohol
and other dangerous concoctions sold
under the guise Of corn whisky, and
the activities of the so-called blind
tigers" were never so pronounced IN
the history of the country as at the
present time.
EIihu Root Leads Vets
And this is the very condition that
is sought and is being encouraged by
the liquor interests. They are being
advised by learned and highly paid
counsel, led by Elihu Root, to use eV-
cry means in their power to make Pro-
hibition a by-Word and to make con-
ditions under Prohibition so intolera-
Bile and the violations of the law so
fragrant and the lack Of law enforce
ment so notorious that the people will
become disguised with the situation
and demand return to the licensed
saloon
1t is the plan and purpose of the
World Prohibition Campaign, in
so Tar as America is concerned, to ac-
quaint the people Of this country with
this situation and to open their eyes
and keep them open to the subtle
propaganda campaign which is being
waged by the liquor interests.
They are spreading the report and
encouraging the belief that the Pro-
hibition forces now will turn their at
tention to legislation against tobacco,
tea and coffee.
No War On Tobacco
In this connection Judge Nash r.
Broyles, chief justice of the Georgia
Court Of Appeals, says:
"Ths agitation as to prohibition OF
tobacco is camouflage to handicap the
enforcement of the liquor prohibition
laws. The persistent propaganda by
the National Tobacco League 10 the ef-
feet tia, the Arti-Salooa League IS
backing az anti-tohacco campaign IS
ent.rely u1tounded.'

i TN the early stages of the fight for
L national prohibition the states OF the
south took the lead and have MAIN
tained it in all the trying years In
which the dry forces have been locked
in death struggle with the forces
behind the liquor traffic in this coun'
try.
As a section the south was the first
to clear itself of the stain OF the llquor
traffic and has been DO small factor
in giving it's moral and financial sup
port in the successful battles which
other sections of the country nave
waeed against this traffic and which
definitely becomes outlawed in Amer
ica with the constitutional amendment
that becomes operative January 10.
And now the south is called upon 20
take the lead in the World Prohibl-
ton Campaign under the dire
ton of e. Y. Clarke, of Atlanta, which
comes as a logical and absolutely nee
essary result of the enactment Oh pro-
hibition laws, both state and nationai'
and the companion measures which
aim at their proper enforcement.
"Finish the Job"
Lets enforce prohibition and fin
!sh the job," has become the slogan
and the watchword of those in charge
of the campaign to enforce prohibition
in this country The speed and ef-
fectiveness with which this work ls
done depends almost entirely upon
the spirit and the extent OF the CO.
operation of those who have made
possible the results already achieved.
The placing of the prohibition laws
and measures for their enforcement
upon the statute books by no means
finished the job. There is still vast
amount of work to be done before
the liquor forces confess defeat and
retire from the field.
While the saloon has been legislat-
ed out of business, it is making de-
termined effort to come back, and it
is the purpose of the World Prohibi-
tion Campaign to see that it doesn't
come back.
The Liquor Propaganda
When the Eighteenth amendment
10 the constitution was passed we'll
ueaning friends of Prohibition said:
