F. of L. Wants Representation Buffalo, N. Y., November 16.—De- mand for “adequate and direct” rep- resentation of wage earners at the world peace conference is made in the | annual report of the executive coun- j cil of the American Federation of | Labor, submitted to the fed- f eration in convention here. The re- port declares that the world war | “must wipe out all vestiges of the old conceit that the nation belongs to the ruler.” Questions raised by the war occupy | virtually the entire report. No room is left for doubt that the United States government has the unanimous support of organized American labor in the war, and it is asserted with equal emphasis that the vital inter- ests of the average citizen demand that he have a voice in the readjust- | ments to come with the dawn of | peace. Optimism over labor achlevements in the last year is tempered with a warning that benefits obtained from emergency opportunities must be based on principles of human welfare and not the result of taking advan- tage of the nation’'s necessity. Free- dom of expression is upheld, but the report says those who abuse the freedom of the press to undermine the nation's free institutions should be punished as traitors. ¥ President Wilson’s war address to congress is included in the report, with the declaration adopted by a meeting of union officials last March when it was seen to be inevitable that the European conflagration would spread to America. Under the heading “Labor and the War,” the re- port says: “Under all circumstances it is the duty of any government to protect its people against wilfull and wholesale murder. * * * A people unwilling to make the supreme sacrifice in sup- port of the government which under- takes to make that principle good are undeserving to live and enjoy the privilege of free, democratic govern- ment.” The duty of wage-earners in the war is emphasized particularly in the section of the report devoted to ‘“Peace Terms,” which advocates an intermational agreement to secure peace and the settlement of the pres- ent war without ‘vindictive” indem- nities or territorial changes. The sec- tion says: “It 19 an imperative duty from which there is no escape that wage- earners as well as all other citizens of this Republic support our govern- ment in its righteous effort to defend principles of humanity and to estab- lish democracy in iInternational rela- tions. Because we desire permanent peace it is our duty to fight and sac- rifice until these purposes can be achieved. “When nations can send representa- tives to negotiate peace terms in ac- cord with this concept, we maintain that the basic provisions of the peace treaty should be formulated with re- gard to the rights and welfare of the men, women, and children constitut- ing the natlons rather than the gov- ernments of the nations. The govern- ment should be only an instrumental- ity of the people instead of dominat- ing and actuating their lives. This terrific war must wipe out all vestiges of the old concept that the nation be- longs to the ruler or government. “We hold that the same principles should apply to relations between na- tlons and that secret dlplomacy should be replaced by diplomatic representa- tives responsible to the people of their own people and recelved by either the parliament of the country to which they are accredited or by a representative of the people, respon- sible to’' them. “Working people have never been properly represented in diplomatic affairs. The future must be con- structed upon broader lines than the past. We insist, therefore, that the government of the United States pro- vide adequate and direct representa- tives of wage-earners among the plenipotentiaries sent to the peacs | congress, and urge upon the labor movements of other countries to take like action. “We urge the adoption of the fol- lowing declarations as the basis upon ‘1. The combination of the peoples of the world covenant for genuine and practical co-operation to seccure justice and therefore peace In relations between nations. o2 sovernments derive their just power from the consent of the gov- | ernea. “3. No political or economic resti- tutions meant to benefit some nations | and to cripple or embarrass others. | “4.

We recommend that an international labor confer- ence of representatives of the trade union movements of all countries be held at the same time and place as the World Peace Congress that labor may be in touch with plans under consideration and may have the bene- fit of information and counsel of those participating in the congress.” Reconstruction after the war will raise new issues, the report holds, and the nation cannot discard lightly the idea of service engendered by co- operation of all classes against a com- mon enemy. FPointing to the experi- ence of Great Britain, the council says: “There has been a recognition of the principle that those assocliated in the work of production ought to have a voice in management of those things concerning their interest and welfare. There has been recognition for the thought that industrial disfranchise- ment is as unjust as political dls- franchisement. * * * “In our jwn country there is evi- dent in evdry kind of war work the necessity for some national agencies for better adjusting the supply workers. We are entering a period where there must he greater economy in the use of the man power of our country.

The report points out that the gigantic construction task was carried through without in- terruption. This understanding sub- sequently was approved by the Secre- tary of the ¥ w_for all work on land undertaken by this department. Other agreements mentioned in- the ad- justment by a joint board of wages, hours and conditions in shipbnilding plants; an agreement to govern con- ditions of labor in loading and un- loading vessels; and the creation of a commission to settle disputes in the harness and saddlery industry. Considerable space is devoted to the attitude of the council toward prob- lems raised by the war which have engrossing public attention. Chief among these is the much-di cussed suggestion for the conscrip- tion of labor, concerning which the report says “Immediately after the declaration of war by the United States Govern- ment, an agitation was commenced for the purpose of organizing what was to be known as an ‘Industrial Reserve.’ It was proposed that men in industry <hould hecome part of a semi-military con- trolled by our military estabilshment. to the end that those employed in in- dustry could be shifted from one loca- tion to another. Because of its mili- tary feature. the proposition was op- Posed by the officers of the American Federation of Labor. Tn ‘the light of #he experience gleaned in foreign countries now engaged in war, it ap- pears thaé the shifting of workers has the carrying on of the great conflict. | Several plans have been proposed, but none thus far has becn accepted as a proper solution of the problem. If the war continues for any considerable period, this question will have to be met. The primary agency necessary for dealing with proper adjustment of workers is a national employment bureau, equipped to give workers in- formation of employment, opportuni- ties and employers information of avallable and suitable workers. It is one of the necessary and essential activities of the war that certain in- dustries on occasions are called upon | to materially increase production, and in this event, some plan must be in- augurated to meet the needs of the government.'" The report recognizes the possibili- ty that war conditions may bring about a ‘“more general advent” of women in industry. Demand is made that equal pay be given for equal work without regard to sex, which the report says can be obtained only through organization of the new wage earners. ) ] Freedom of expression is declared by the report to be one of the funda- mentals of democracy, but it is point- ed out that war conditions “resent very different problems than those of “We know that thls very freedom of expression, which is one of the great opportunities of a free people, constitutes an equally potential op- portunity for the enemies of our coun- | try,” the report says. “Those who abuse the freedom of the press in or- | der to endanger the perpetuity of our republic and to undermine our free institutions, should be punished as traitors to the nation. * * * Freedom must not be confused with license." Urgent recommendation is made by the council that the eight-hour day be extended by administrative authority | to all commerce and industry as a | war measure.

At the be- ginning ofswar congress recognized the eight hour principle in writing into the naval appropriation law a clause that in case of natlonal emer- gency the President might suspena | elght hour law, provided that overs time should be paid for on the basig of time and a half. In urging the exy tension of the eight hour day to al industry, the report says: “The faflure of all concerns to adopt} the eight hour basis is the cause o more industrial discontent and unrest| than any other one condition.” o 6“6A“é SONS SoutS The General All'Around Cleaner
