Statement Intended to Dissolve
Feeling Labor Was Anti.
Basis Arose From Question
Guard Recruiter Submitted.
UNION MEN SHOULD JOIN UP
Right to Belong to Citizens
Army Is UnquestiOned.
Gompers States Militia Needed
Gives His Support.
tRr the Associated Press.l

Des Moines, June 1O.-Organized
labor stands for the national guard
and sees in it as opposed to the large
standing army of European nations. a
symbol of liberty as opposed to tyr
amy, according to a statement re-
ceived here by Adjutant General Louis
C. Lasher, from Samuel Gompers.
president of the American Federation
of Labor.
It Clears the Air.
Adjutant General Lasher said he be-
lieves Gompers' statement will per-
manently dissolve the misunderstand-
ing which. he says, has existed in the
past as to labor unions and the guard.
On May IL, Adjutant General Lash
er submitted to the militia bureau OF
/ the war department a specific in
stance of this misunderstanding.
On the basis of the case submitted
from the Iowa guard, the chief of the
military bureau required from Presi-
! dent Gompers' information as to the
Poilcy OF the American Federation OF
| Labor on the question Of enlistment
of union men in the guard, President
| Gompers replying as follows:
"A man who is a wage Garner and
| honorably working at his trade or
calling to support himself and those
dependent upon him has not the right
only to become a citizen soldier. but
that right must be unquestioned.
The Guard Means Liberty.
THE militia. ie., the citizen-soldiers
| of the several states in our country,
supplies what otherwise might take its
place, large standing army.
The difference between the citizen
soldier of the United States and the
large standing army of many Euro
pean countries is the difference be-
tween the conception of liberty and
| tyranny.
while organized labor stands
lagainst the arbitrament of interna- -
tional disputes by force of arms. yet
we must realize we have not vet
reached the millennium; that in the
age in which we live we have not the
choice between armed force and dis
armament, but the alternative between
a large standing army and a small one
supplemented by volunteer citizen sol
diery-the militia of our several
states"
