SAM COMPERS TAKES PERSHINC TO

Says He Made No Such State

(Rv The AssocIated pressl

WASHINGTON. Sept. T.r-Samuel Gom-
pers issued the following statement to-
night in connection with what official
Washington regards as a tilt between
General Pershing and the president Of the
American Federation OF Labor at The con-
elnsion Of the exercises here Tuesday
celebrating LaFayette-M -Marne day.
General Pershing is quoted in the
newspapers today as having said 1t
wasn't labor that won the war. 1t seems
to me it's time for some one to say that
1t wasn't this association or that which
won the war-it was the loyalty OF all the
straightforward American citizens which
brought success to tho allied cause
1T is to be presumed that those who
read the extract from General Pershings
speech at the Lafayette Marine day han
quet concluded that in my address which
preceded had made the claim that labor
won the war.
''Of course I made no such statement
and much as / regret the necessity Of
saying 50, there was no ground for the
rather testy remarks OF the leader whom
we all admire and TO whom we all owe
a great debt.
with everything else contained in
General Pershing's speech I found myself
in full accord. I regret exceedingly that
he should have made it necessary for me
to make this statement 1 have been
proud of the record of labor during the
war. 1t was a magnificent record. unsur-
passed by labor anywhere, unequalled by
labor in any other country. / am proud
that this record should have been made
by American labor. That / repeat and
shall repeat whenever It seems oppor-
tune, or necessary.
= did not say that labor won the war.
I offered no reason and no excfise IN my
remarks for what General Pershing had
to say. I regret. as perhaps he himself
now does, his lack Of tact. his improprie-
ty General Pershing is a brave and
splendid soldier and pay him the tribute
Of saying that his generalship on the bat
tlefield is much better than his general
ship as an after-dinner speaker
