COUNCIL
FULLY REPUDIATES
|NTERNATIONhL|SM

Denver. June 1s.-fBy The Asso-
ciated Press THE executive council
of the American Federation of Labor
has finally and completely repudiated
the International Federation of Trade
unions as IL is now conducted.
This announcement was made to-
night at the temporary convention
headquarters of President Samuel
Gompers who made public a copy of
European trade union movement at
Amsterdam. After denouncinG as
offensive and insulting" a recent
communication from the Information
al asking the council to reconsider
its action in withdrawing its affilia-
council in the letter said: Insofar
as our affiliation with the 1nterna-
tional Federation OF Trade Unions At
the present time is concerned we
must repeat the former declarations
made in our communications to you
EN- phasize them IL possible and await
the hour when 1t may be possible to
fulfill our hopes of a united move
ment on a basis that accords with
the philosophy of democracy with
autonomy for all: freedom for all. and
n common goal of a better time for
all the toiiers and all the peopeS"
Revealing the alleged revolutionary
activities and war time manifestos of
the International. which caused the
council to sever connecti0gsS with the
European movement several moments
ago. the American labor chief further
stated that American labor must de-
cline to accept your declarations and
proclamations as truly expressive of
the sentiments of the whole trade
union movement of Europe"
We have faith in the good sense
and understanding Of the labor move
msn,s with which we proudly stood
side by side in the great war for
W. are hopeful that the time is not
far distant when the trade union
movements of all the nations of the
world may cooperate on basis OF
common good will understanding and
obstructive effort
Replying to the internationars
communication which is alleged to
have intimated that the war time
proclama,ions and appeals issued by
its headquarters had been read care
lessly or only in part and that false
understanding of their contents has
been conveyed to the membership OF
the American Federation OF Labor"
President Gompers' letter said:
Your letter in connection with this
portion Of the discussion Is particular
" offensive and is resented. 1t is
moreover n clumsy effort to make II
appear that the American Federation
Of Labor is a supporter of reaction
and of war.
AN example of this is found in
your statement that we must candidly
confess that We fail to understand
how IL Is possible for you as Demo-
Gratis. to set yourselves in opposition
to the struggle against reaction.
This Is statement that might
we'll como from tho plutocratic.
selfish interests allied against the
workers. but that can be considered
as no less than insulting when COM
ing from the officers of an orraniza-
ton presumably representing trade
unions. addressed to bonafide orr
ganization OF trade unionists.
Your manifesto was not mtsundcr-
stood Its full Implication was
thoroiy comprchended and 1t was
precisely because such was the case
