X | SAN FRANCISCO, Col, Nov. 8.— Presentation of the annual report of the executive council featured the copening day of the thirty-fifth an- nual convention of the American TFederation of Labor, which opened here today for a two weeks’ session. President Samuel Gompers pre- sented the report, which pronounced the year past the most momentous in the history of organized labor ond ! one of extraordinary stress for the| labor movement, testing as it had its very existence. ‘‘There is not a country, and there is scarcely a relation in the common lite,” mays the council's report, “that does not ehow some effect of the terrible war that s being waged In Europe. From our present viewpoint these effects are primarily destructive. Whatever of con- structive value shall come out of it all, will depend upon the wisdom, the ability and the statesmanship of the real states-| men of the nations. But at present we | @ee customs, institutions, and the rela-| tionship that are the result of years of | struggle and persistent effort to realize ideals, swept away by the great tide of destruction and lost n th clash of arms, the smoke of the battlefield, and in the teirors of naval warfare. Att s to Use Unlons Futile. Describing the effects of the war upon organized labor and American customs and institutions, the report deals at length ‘with attempts by interests of belligerent | European nations to interfere with the peacetul pursuit of American industries. ! “‘Some of these movements,’ it says, *have been genuine, others have been @reated by individuals and interests that| ‘weré really unneutral. Thesp movcmenu‘ havé taken varioug forms; some have tried to influence the policies of the state | and governmental authorities of our| country; others have tried to work upon | public opinion and still others have sought ' to use the good name of our labor move- | ment to further interests of some for-, elgn country.” High tribute was pald the working-| men of the nation through whose pa-| triotism, the report says, these plans have perished and the movement so far, have been futile. H ‘“The efforts to use the workingmen of | our country have been of two kinds,”| the report continues, “one to get through them the endorsement of, the forelgn | 'poliey to place an embal o upon so- called munitions of war, tie other has| been to stir up industrial contentions| mnd disputes and thus interfere with the sotual process of production so that products to be sent abroad may be stop- ped.

There is nothing touch-| fng the Industrial and commerclal life | of America that is not of interest to the | ‘warring nations.” World’s Labor Congress Necessary. The holding of a World's Labor con- gress at the same time and place that 'peace delegates meet when the war is ended, s recommended in the report as *necessary in order to infuse the spirit of humanity and democracy into this po- litical conference.” In order that the p--! sition of the Umited Btates workingm on in thig regard may be fully representative of the country’'s unanimous voice of la- (Continued on Page Two, Column Two.)

CONFERS WITH THE PRESIDENT WASHINGTON, Nov. §.—Repre- sentative Claude Kitchin, democratic leader of the house, told President Wilson today, after a long conference with him, that he could not support the administration’s program for na- t'onal defense and that he would op- pose the program in a personal ca- pacity only, and not as majority leader. Mr. Kitchin was with the president Wilson outlined to him the army and navy plans for the next session of congress and for the next five years and sought to influence the majority leader to be in harmony with them. “All 1 can say,” said Representative Kitchin, as he left the White House, *is that I very much regret that I cannot support the president's national defense program. The plans do not meet with my particularly with reference to I shall make a clear exposition views as soon as congress con- " he re- of my venes, in a speech in the house, plied. “Of course, I ghall not attempt to oppose the program as the majority leader, but merely in my personal ca- pacity.” Mr. Kitebin said he thought it very probable that the majority would favor the défense program. Representative Kitchin's definite an- nouhcement of his position will make it imppssible for him to lead the fight for the administration’s program in the houge. The burden of the leadership will develve probably upon Chairman Hay of the military committee, Chairman Pad- gett of the naval committee, Chairman Sherley of the fortifications committee ang Chalrman Fitzgerald of the appro- priations committee, Fire is Discovered in Hold of French Liner_Rochambeau NEW YORK, Nov. 8.—The French line steamship Rochambeau has a fire In the reserve coal bunker, according to a mes- sage received at the French line today.

The text of the note slgned by Herr immtrman, under secretary of state for foreign affairs, and transmitted through Ambassador Gerard follows: “The undersigned has the honor to state the tollowing to his excellency, the Honorable James W. Gerard, in reply to the letter of July 31, last, concerning the alleged issulng of false American pase- ports by German authorities: “The assertions made by Robert Rosen- than, who was shot in England as a Spy, that a faise passport had been of- | fered to him In the office of the German admiralty staff, that Corvetionkaptain Frieger held a stock of falsified Amer- fcan passport blanks in the admiralty f offices, and that the latter had hown him the water marks in them as well as rubber stamps for the legaliza- tion of false passports, one and all are not irue. ” : " Belgians Blamed, “With reference to the fact that one George T. Brekow, who was arreésted in England as a spy, had been supplied, with a false passport, the Investigations started have borme no result. It {s an established fact, however, that during the present situation of the war, certain individuals in the occupled enemy terri- tory anfl also in neutral countriey en- deavored to make a trade of issulng false papers of legitimation and of sell- ing them for a god price. In this way there a passport falsifier's dén was raided in Antwerp which was already in ex- istence when Antwerp was occupled by German troéps. It may be well assumed that the passport found on Breckow or- iginated from such a plant. “As for the alleged testimony given by Rosenthal and Breckow before the English law courts, is concerned, ac- cording to which German officers pre- pared false passports and handed them to agents—if such testimony should ac- tually have been given—it must be as- sumed that the accused were induced by %threats, promises of other means of pressure during the examination to in- vent these statements in the bellef that they might be of Interest for the enemy state.

Strong doubts ex- ist here, however, as to whether the al- leged testimony was actually given. In anyn case, the assumption that German govenment officlals with the knowledge and consent of German government aus| thorities had prepared false American passports and handed them to agents must be energetically refuted. “The undersigned avails himself of the opportunity to renew to the ambassador the assurance of his highest esteem.” ‘Mongolia Officers Placed Under Bond SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. §.—Cap- tain Emery Rice of the steamship Mon- | golia, his chief engineer, Walter 8.

In the letter | made publicly today at the White House {the president said: | "I am particularly gratified that you should so fully concur in the position I took In my spcech to the Manhattan club, There is a quotation from Exeklel which 1 have had very much in mind recently in connection with these important mat- |ters.

Although we shall be able to con- cede its contentions, much will de- rend upon the spirit in which it is idenl with officlally, privately and publicly.

Only islands which have no neu- tral side doors could be blockaded com- merclally. “'Does 'the United Staten Ifimx right of interference with - import through neutral ; ;l the Answer . then our be one of resistance to a view of law which woul work out very unjustly to us as an island country and which America did not recognize when it was at war.

Claims presented by Americans for detentions or seizures of such goods will be supported by the diplomatic machinery of the United States to the fullest extent. Speculation is Varied.

It is this feature of the situa- tion which officlals regard a8 most serious and indefensible.
