PERSHING AND GOMPERS MIX;
 LABOR AND WAR THE ISSUE

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. g. General Pershing and Sam Gompers had a tilt last night at a dinner giv- en in this city. At any rate, official Washington regards it as a clash, over the question whether labor won the war.
 In his speech, Gompers told of the record of the American Federation of Labor during the war and de- clared that previous to the entry of the United States, the sympathies of the big organization were with the Allies. .
 Gompers made no claim that labor had won the war, but Pershing ap- parently regarded his remarks as such a claim, and when his turn came to speak, he said: "The poli- cies of this country are not de termined by labor unions or any other organizations but by the con- census of opinion of it's patriotic citizens of whatever affiliations"
 Following the publication of the report of the tilt, Gompers issued statement in which he said that Pershing had miscoustrued his re- marks. He also said that Pershing's generalship on the battlefield was much better than his ;eneralship as an after dinner speaker.
