War.” Irish sympathizers today replied to! the warning sounded yesterday by J. H. Thomas, British labor leader, that organized labor of America could not solve the Irish question by introduc: ing resolutions supporting the Irish republic. Gompcrs on War Organized labor of Germany could have prevented the World War, Presi- dent Samuel Gompers declared in an address, “I hold that the organized labor movement of Germany failed at the critical hour,” said the veteran labor leader in responding to addresses of the fraternal delegates from Great Bri- tain and Canada, “it is true,’ he continued, “that if the labor movement of that country; had taken the situation in band it might have meant the destruction of a few thousand; it might have caused the incarceration of many thousand, but if that had occurred it would have stopped the war. “The failure af men to act when the time has arrived, when action is essential, is faithlessness to the com- mon cause. I have nothing in my heart that can be intimated or sug, gested of feelings of antipathy toward the German people, toward the Ger- man labor movement, toward their at- tempt to: conduct a great Republican form of’ government. It cannot be driven out of the minds of peoples who have lost young men of their! flesh and blood, fallen in defense of! this gréat common. cause, to main- tain some degree of a self-determina- tion in a Democratic form of govern- ment. “You know that the American labor movement has made its great contri- bution to the great cause, And as one, you know also that I have tried to do my full duty in the critical circumstances in which we are all placed, That at the peace table wis- dom did not prevail. I think that most men who have given the subject thought, quite agree. But it is always hindsight that is so. superior to fore-| sight, and in the frame of mind in which the people were it is not diffi. cult to understand that they wanted! ta penalize Germany in some way. “We know that the representatives of democracy make mistakes and that is the penalty we pay for having democracies—but we have the right to make a mistake rather than to yield to the dictation of some em- peror, kaiser or king. If we want democracy we must take the penalties for the mistakes democracies are sub- ject to.” ‘Mr. Gompers sald that. he assumed full responsability for his remarks regarding the German labor move- 1921 A‘heavy downpour of rain north- west of Bismarck this morning washed out places on the Soo railroad tracks and on the Northern Pacific branch on the west side of the Missouri, accord- ing to reports reaching the city.
