BEFORE PRESIDENT

Over the Possibility of the
Bill's Passage.

Washington, Sept. PA proposal
of the beer bill which failed of pass
age before the recess of Congress

purposes. The deadlock which block
ed passage of the bill before the re-
cess resulted from the question of

Times)
Washington, Sept. 20.-American
labor has asked the American Le-
gion and other national organizations
to cooperate in demonstrations
1arou@=out tie United States on
Armistice Lay not only 10 celebrate
the victory of 1918 but to impress
the delegates to the Conference on
the Limitation of Armaments with
the fact that the American people
confidently expect program 10 be
adopted which Will reduce military
and naval expenditures and minimize
the chances of war
Samuel Gompers, president of the
American Federation OF Labor, today
disclosed his plans for parades and
mass meetings on November 11th
which may exceed in point of num-
bers the professions of Labor Day in
past years. Mr.. Gompers feels that
armistice day passed last November
without that glorif1cation of the event
which is necessary to instill in the
minds of people true appreciation
of the sacrifices that were made to
win the victory. The day should be,
he believes, an occasion for express
ion of the anti-war sentiment needed
to insure a program of enduring
peace.
Mr.. Gompers makes it plain that
he is not championing a class move
ment. He simply is notifying every
trade union headquarters in every
city and town in the United States
that labor should do its part in what
he hopes will be taken up by other
civic bodies as national celebra-
ton. When Armistice Day has pass
Federation of Labor that a perman-
ent committee of seventy-five mem
bers representing all the various ma
tional organizations interested in dis
armament and the cause of peace will
unite and bring respectful pressure
to bear on the Conference for the
Limitation of Armaments so that
there may be no doubt about the in
sistence of the American people on
practical results. Mr.. Gompers is in
communication with the labor organ
ing up of a worldwide sentiment be-
hind the Washington conference on
armament is intended to assure the
delegates of all countries that they
may ignore the jingoes and munitions
makers and go as far as they like
toward lifting the burdens of tax
alton which have crippled Europes
purchasing power and indirectly help
ed to bring on an industrial depress-
ion in the United States.
Mr. CT lmpers was asked wha,
would be the course of the American
Federation of Labor in the event
that the Conference failed to reach
an agreement on the limitation of
armament Would he favor the re-
army and navy irrespective of what
the other powers did.
81 have always opposed and shall
continue emphatically to oppose any
suggestion that the United States dis
arm alone,' replied Mr.. Gompers.
So the movement of the American
Federation of Labor does not ask
the impossible but aims to bring out
public opinion in such a way as to
show the delegates how unmistak-
able is public sentiment for an
agreement on armament. Propaganda
against reduction of armament is al
ready in full swing. Inside our own
government are many men who doubt
the practicabil of any agreement
on military or naval expenditure. AL
so there are those who believe the
United States ought to continue her
