ORGANIZED LABOR
 CAUSED THE WAR
Germany's Labor Unions Failed at Critical Time, GOmpers Tells A. F. of L.-British La bor Leader Talks.

Denver Col, June 14.-Blame for tbe recent world war was placed souarely on the shoulders of organ ized labor in Germany by President Samuel Gompers in an address to the American Federation of Labor con- vention here today.
 q hold, and I accept full responsi- bilitv for what I am about to say" said President Gompers, "that the or canized labor movement of Germany failed dismally at the critical hour
 If it had taken the situation in hand it might have meant the de- struction of a few thousands, but it would have stopped the war The failure of men to act at a time of crisis is faithlessness to a common cause"
 In his address, which was a re- sponse to those of fraternal dele gates lIOln biCdl bliCdlI anu CdH- ada. President Gompers dwelt upon the attitude of the federation and himself both during the war and since, during the period of recon struction.
 W. F. Bush, fraternal delegate rep resenting the Canadian trades and labor congress, told the assembled delegates that despite difficulties, or ganized labor in Canada was at least holding it's own. He reviewed the in- cipiency of the "one big union" move ment and predicted "its early death"
 resolution was adopted by the convention urging Congress to pass immediately the Johnson bill provid- ing for a federal investigation into conditions in the Mingo county, West Virginia, strike zone.
 Warning against any agitation that might disrupt the American labor movement, James Il. Thomas, British labor leader, told the convention to- day that it could not solve the Irish problem.
 For one hundred years, we in England have been confronted with the problem of Ireland, and if we at home cannot solve that problem, let me ask how do you, 5000 miles away, expect to solve it?" he said. MT. Thomas, who is president of the h. ternational Federation of Trade Un- lons, addressed the convention as a fraternal delegate from the British Trades Union Congress.

DAUGHERTY AFTER
 WAR BROTHERS
General to Probe Gov ernment Contracts Special Investigation Bureau Being Organized.

Washington, June 14.-In@estiga- tion by the Department of Justice of all major wartime contracts with the government has been begun, Attor- ney General Daugherty announced today.
 To handle the work, which has the approval of President Harding, Mir. Daugherty said a special bureau is being organized which will have as its head some well-known man of proved ability and a staff of experts in different lines of business.
 The purpose of the investigation, he explained, is to sift the wartime dealings of business concerns and in- dividuals with the government in order that those guilty of dishonesty may be punished and those whose dealings have been fair may be clear ed from what he declared were sus- picions prevalent in the public mind that all of the governments war contracts are open to question.
 Declaring that the investigation wat not directed principally "at the little fellows" the attorney general said: "We will throw back any min nows we catch in our net and let them start over again"
 At the conclusion of the work, MT. Daugherty said lie would submit re- port to the president, but meanwhile would not disclose the progress of the investigation lest the governments work be hindered.
 MT. Daugherty expressed confidence that the great majority of the busi- ness men who had dealings with the government were beyond reproach in their methods. but that there had un- doubtedly been a great many in stances where business had been done on an unfair basis.
 The government, he said, could not justify sending men and boys to prison for antagonizing the raising of an army during the war, if men who made unconscionable profits out of the nation at the time of the greatest distress went unscatheds
