The Spanish Consulate, at 158 West

ATLANTIC CITY, Aug. 22.-Labor
unions affiliated with the American
Federation of Labor throughout the
country will be advised to resist fur
ther wage reductions by means of
strikes If necessary. The Fcderation's
executive council, led by President
Samuel Gompers, decided to-day to in
struct the 35,247 local unions that in
view OF the present cost of living any
attempts to reduce the incomes Of the
workers would be unjustihable and
should be resisted by every means at
the unions command.
Tho action was based on reports that
more than 5,50O,COO persons are now
unemployed and that further wage re-
ductions by decreasing the consuming
power Of workers would tend to in
crease the army Of unemployed.
Gompcrs Accuses Profiteers
Mr. Gompers, in outlining a new bill
OF rights for American workers.
charged that the country is filled with
profitcers who are attempting to force
wages down without decreasing the cost
of the necessaries Of life. AS the head
Of an organization which has 1905 ,528
members, he said, he wished to an
nounce that the time has come when
American workers are no longer salts
fed with wages just to pay expenses,
but that they demand and are entitled
to ice cream and automobiles.
The time nas gone by when it was
proper to sneer at the toiler who went
to work in an automobile and ate ice
cream for lunch, said Mr. Gompers. 1t
was once thought that ice cream and
automobiles were only for those meyo-
becs Of society who produce nothing,
and, according to the labor leader, this
was dangerous rrecept and has
passed away.
No specific mention Of strikes was
made at the session, but it was pointed
out that in the int;mation that wage
rcductions should be resisted by every
means Of the unions, a command was
clear. Those who attended and who
acquiescd in Mr.. Gompers's views were
Frank Morrison, secretary of the Fed

Formal Reply to Invitation
Is Received and Shows
Trend to Harding View
of Nations Association


WASHINGTON. Aug. %. - Confident
hope that the Harding >conference on
armament limitation, Pacific and Far
Eastern questions will "achicve far
reaching results that will be conducive
to the prosperity and peace of the
world is expressed in the British ac~
ceptance received here to day.
This. the first official hint that the
conference may develop into real as
sociatlon Of nations, confirms in diplo-
matte and formal language the hin
along the same line given by Lloyd
George in tae House of Commons la5c
week. 1t clearly demonstrates that tne
British are eager, as t1e japanese have
declared themselves also, to follow the
Harding trail toward an association of
nations.
First Formal Acceptance
The British note, which contains the
f.st formal acceptance Of President
Harding's invitation to the conference,
vss transmitted by Ambassador Harvey
and was signed by Lord Curzon. the
Foreign Secretary. The text Of the note
follows:
81 have the honor to acknowledge
the receipt of the invitation prof
fered to his ma ajesty's government
by the government of the United
States TO participate in a conference
at Washington, beginning on the 1lth
of November next, for the discussion
Of the limitation Of armaments and,
III connection herewith, Of the in
ternatonal problems presented by
the Pacific and the Far East
' it is with sincere qualification that
|. have the honor, on behalf Of his
majesty's government. to request
your cxcellency to convey to the
United States government our ready
acceptance of their invitation to take
part in this auspicious meeting, with
objects of which his majesty's gov
ernment and the British nation are
in wholehearted sympathy. 1t is the
earnest and confident hope of his
majesty's government that this con-
ference, approached IA it will be by
all concerned in a spirit of courage,
friendliness and mutual understand
~, may achieve farreaching results
that will be conducive to the pros
pcrity and peace Of tho world
AUSTRALIAN frOteH discussed
Another important development of
the day was the comment of high Off
cials of the Administration on the state
mert by Premier Hughes of Australia.
in which regret was expressed that
there had not been preliminary con-
ference of the British dominions' pre-
miers with representatives of this gov
ernment.
This government prevented that
from taking place, despite the obvious
desire not only of the dominion pre-
miers but of the British Foreign Of
flee, that such conference should be
held. 1t is the hope of the Harding
Administration that the weight OF opin-
ion of the dominion premiers will be
such that the British members of the
conference will be compelled to fight
for the very settlements of the Pacific
