GOMPERS SAYS LABOR
 WELCOMES INVENTION
Denies Charge That Unions
 Are Against Improved . Machine Methods.

Washington, Nov. f2.-orannixed labor will welcome whatever nastst- ance research and science can offer to modern industry President Comp era of the American Federation of Labor. today told delegates gathered here for the preliminary conference on industrial research. A part of or- ganIzed iabor's own work, he said, has been directed toward the scientific study of conditions surrounding pro- duction, and to the assembling of data.
 "A persistent effort has been made to saddle upon labor. the odium of opposition to improved methods and machinery in production" Mir. Comp CTS said. This is not true as a gen. sraI statement. What labor is op- posed Is m effort to exploit them by tho us1 of improvements that arc antended as n blessing to mankind.
 Labor is not opposed to increased production or improved methods. Quito the contrary. We recognize there can be no permanent better mont of standards of living for all except by increasing the things that contribute to better and more satis- factory living. But we hold that us a fundamental that material products arc not the ultimate of production. but service in a better Iifc for hu- manity.
 'Science and research may furnish 2 tho lawmakers with data and sug- gcstions to assist the lawmakers in reaching the best considered tudg- nents, but confusion and retrogres- -rion ---l follow any attempt to usurp brcrogatlves.'

FRANCE, OPPOSING ADMITTING GERMANY
 TO LEAGUE OF NATIONS, THREATENS TO
 TAKE DRASTIC MEASURES IF IHWARTED
Demand neutons Must Show Intention of Fulfilling Treaty Terms-Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria Viewed in Different Light

Paris. Nov. 12. (By Associated Press)-The French government is unalterably opposed to the admission of Germany to the league of nations at this time, it was stated at the foreign office today. Some drastic" action would be consequence if the league voted to admit Germany, it was inti- mated.
 The foreign office said there had been conversations with Great Britain on the subject and the British who mad been inclined to favor German membership in the league had now accepted the French viewpoint, allow ing the matter to rest for the present.
 Inasmuch as Germany has not ap- piled for league membership it is considered unlikely there will be any effort with promise of success to get the assembly in Geneva to act favor ably on the guetion of Germany's ad- mission at this time.
 The French hold that Germany must prove her intention to fulfill the terms of the peace treaty and live peaceably with her neighbors before seeking membership and they contend there has not yet been time for them
