some labor organization or is just an
ordinary citizen. and that it isn't a
question of labor unions, it isn't a
question of any organization. 1t isn't
a question of whether we belong to
some association or not
"It is a question of whether we are
loyal citizens of the United States. l
am here to say TO you that the men,
bers of the labor unions weren't the
only ones who won the war. 1t was
the citizens who inherited their pat
riOtism from their fOrefathers, who
came across in the Mayfiower and
helped determine and decide the indie
pendence of America as well as those
who have adopted American institu-
tiOnS as their own. 1t seems to be
about time for us to rise up and say
that America shall be ruled and gov
erned by American citizens and not
by organizations which have their own
selfish purpose to serve"

ed by the publication of General
Pershing's sharp retort prompted an
other statemant from Mr.. Gompers in
which he undertook to explain that he
did not claim that organized labor
won the war, characterizing the gen.
erals remarks as rather testy." The
labor chief asserted:
"I did not say that labor won the
war. l offered no reason and no ex-
cuse in my remarks for what General
Pershing had to say. l regret, as per-
haps he himself now does, his lack of
tact. his imprODriety. General Persh-
ing is a brave and splendid soldier
and / pay him the tribute of saying
that his generalship on the battlefield
is much better than his generalship as
an after-dinner speaker"
