Gen. Louis G. Lasher from Samuel Gomp- ers, president of the American Fed- eration of Labor. L The Gompers statement, according to the adjutant general, was asked for by the militia bureau of the War Department as the result of a mis- understanding regarding Mr. Gomp- ers’ attitude toward the guard. “A man who is a wage-carner and honorable, working at his trade or calling to support himself and his dependents,” - said Mr. Gompers' let- ter, “has not only the right to be- By come a citizen soldier, but that right must be unquestioned. “The militia—|. e, the citizens' sol- diery of states in our otherwise the several pplies what soldier of the United States and the large standing armies of many Eu- ropean countries is the difference b tween the conception of liberty tyranny While organized labor stands against the arbitrement of P or international dispute arms, yet we must rea not yet reached the mi in the age in which we 1 not the choice between by 3 ize" we have aninm—that we have med force - THE -SUNDAY “STAR, WA HINGT&N D. -C., JUNE 11, 1922-PART 1.~ ATTORNEY, SHOT BY OWN PISTOL, NEAR DEATH Gun Fell From Pocket in .Court- room.and Was Discharged by Hitting Floor.

Mediation, New Pro- posal or Withdrawal Be- lieved Only Ways Out. By the Associated Press. . Chile’s attitude toward resumption of the Chilean-Peruvian conference here became more and more of an enigma yesterday in the light of ithe varied explanations of the situ- atlon given out from Chilean sources. Giving every outward that Chilean officials were finding it ;difficult to decide finally on their next move, those usually well informed in Chilean circles made widely diver- gent predictions as to what would happen during the next few days. In the main their opinion seemed to be {about evenly divided among three possible courses of action, By some it was predicted that Senor Mathieu, the Chilean ambassa- dor, would open the way for an ex- ercise of American, good offices by laying the conferenco situation be- fore Secretary Hughes. Such a step already has heen taken by. Peruvtan Ambagsador Pezet, and the Peruvians reite e¢d thelr surprise last night that Senor Mathieu had let another |day pass’ without” visiting the \Btate ! Department. 1 In other Chilean circles it was in- dicated that a new Chilean counter !proposal contemplating resumption iof the conferenee ncgotiations with- Jout American mediation was under | discussion In exchanges which are proceeding between Washington and | Santiago, Might Say “Good-Bye™ i A third suggestion thrown out by a high official of the Chilean delega- tion was that Chile might decide to |rcgard the confercnce as ended in | view of the determined stand of Peru in favor of arbitration indication | of theto 8- Tacpa-firica plebiscite. the Chilean delegates would lay the In that event conferencc situation before Mr. Hughcs, as-they are sald to have agreed to do in the last joint session, but Instead of suggesting medlation they would say good-bye. All three of these proosals appar- ently had backing in influential Chilean quarters and as a result botl the Peruvians and officials Cnited Statcs government to be completely at sea regarding Ithe probable trend of the negotia- tions in the immediate future. Peru- vian spokesmen indicated that their government was ready to receive any | suggestion Chile had to make and | State Department officlals took no steps to intervene pending some sign from Chile that she would welcome mediation. Since the conference began the Chilean plenipotentiaries repeatediy have declared that a direct settlc- ment would be preferable to 3ny agreement reached through media- tion. In some quarters it even has been said that should the United States take a hand in the conference the developments easily might be misunderstood ¢ South America and one or both sides might be accused of yielding to pressure from the Washington government, It has been suggested that as a matter of na- tional pride Chile could not afford to givo the appearance of surrendering under pressure, from whatever sourc it might come. ,Peru Would Trust United States. Peru, on the other hand, has indi- cated throughout the negotiations here, as well as in the diplomatic ex- changes preceding the calling of the | conference, that she was perfectly willing_not only to scek the advice of the United States but to rest her | whole case upon the impartiality and justice of an American arbitration Chilean spokesmen confirmed terday the announcement made terday by Dr. Melliton Porras of the Peruvian delegation that both sides had agreed at their last joint session to request the Chilean and Pcruvian ambassadors to visit Secretary | Hughes and inform him of the ap- parent deadlock reached in the nego- tiations. It was said by the Chileans, | however, that they did not interpret | the understanding as requiring im- mediate action.

Patriotic and Constructive, De- clares Official's Report. By the Associated Press. CINCINNATI, June 10.—The labor :ss_of the country was described patriotic and constructive, without dictatorship on its part and op- ed to all “political censorship” ¥ Matthew Woll, president of the in- ternational labor press of America, in,his annual report, made public here to’night on the eve of the organiza- on's annual cortvention. Use of facts and figures as a ‘“new weapon” by organized labor was ad- vocated by Mr. Woll, who sald that unions_that had made use of it had been able “not only to disapprove the inaccurate statements of employers, but they have been able to turn the tide of public sentiment and support on the side of the workers.” In the past, Mr. Woll said, employers al- most exclusively made use of the weapon and thus were able to “fool the public by doctored figures and misleading publicity statements.” A survey of the labor press showed, Mr. Woll said. that it is opposed to unlimited immigration, industrial | courts, compulsory arbitration, gov ernment by injunction, militia_sys- tems, bolshevism, socialism, the I W. movement and other move- ments of revolutionary tendencies. Asserting there was no dictator- ship of the labor press, Mr. Woll's report declared a movement had de- veloped “to bring the labor press under the dictatorship of a small group seoking to dominate the whola trade union movement.” In this con- nection he named William Z. Foster, who. he said, sought to destroy the present trade union movement, abol- ish capital and establish a workers republic. Turning to censorship, the report called for its banishment, but said a tendency was apparent toward control of “all forms of communicating hu- the delegates ! ussed the board, several asserting | oak, Il This Crib and Mattress Strongly con- structed ‘of metal; white enamel finish; drop sides.
