‘LABOR TOO BUSY TO BOTHER WITH SOCIALIST CONFERENCE, GOMPERS New York, Aug. 8.—Samuel Gom- * pers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor, has issued a state- ment here, amplifying his reason for ,opposition to the proposed Interna- tional Socialist conference at Stock- holm. “The working people of the United States,” he said, “are now doing ev- erything within their power to help their country in its war against im- perialism and autocracy. The work- ing people of England and France are doing the same for their own countries. “The working people of Germany are doing all they possibly can to help Germany win the war. It is, therefore, in my judgment, positively , Injurious for any conference of rep- resentatives of labor to take place -in which the representatives of all { the .countries would be_ present.” AWAY ON BUSINESS * “on business*for the ‘Crookston Lum- : ber company. two or three weeks PLAN.
