Buffalo, N. Y.. Novl 14. While dele grates to the annual, convention of the American federation of Labor were awaiting the. reports of committees, President .Samuel Gompers addressed a Joint meeting of the business men's club and the greater Buffalo club. He told the bjsiness -men that the long standing problems affecting capital and - labor are virtually insoluble. "All that can .be jlone." he said, "is to solve problems confronting us from day to day so that day. by day we may b better prepared - to , reach a solution, if solution be possible, of" what has baen a riddle for ages. All Virtue on Xeither Side. "We can allay all disputes during this - great war In which we are 'now en gaged by .you gentlemen bearing in mind that all the virtues -are not on your side and all the vic.es on ours. It Is not fair to take the-derelict and hold him up as a type of labor any more than It is fair to hold up the gradgrind as a type of employer. "Neither side. can . claim all the pa- ' triotism. but it is possible to obtain a better understanding so that the standards of American life shall not '.be lowered and to the end that our boys at the front may be supplied with all that is needful, not only for fighting, - but for their comfort when they are not , lighting. ' "To me this war has quite another ..significance than the mere winning of battles. It' is to bring a rejuvenation of the democratic peoples of the nations t of all the .world." Speaking -Of President Wilson and the .; problema that faced him, Mr. Gompers said he was proud to serve under the leadership of "that great man who is, now voicing the aspirations of the whole civilized world." Srrapheap Old Ideas. "What we aim to do," Mr. Gompers continued, "is to advise employers to bear in mind that with re-casting of our industrial conditions, bid ideas " must be thrown upon the scrapheap and new conceptions, reached on the rights of others. "Some grounds must be reached on 'i which the industries of our country may be speeded up so that the war may " be speedily won. Of its results I have not the slightest mental reservation. It is written Into the stars of freedom ; above us." . The morning session of the jconven tion lasted about an hour, adjournment being taken until tomorrow when word came from the committee thaty no Je- ports would be ready until then. , f Strikers Ignore Orders j . The fnews from Boston that the strikers at the Watertown arsenal and Squantum had decided to continue the strike regardless of the orders Issued by the international '.officer here, caus ed a flurry, and it was at first thought that the situation there had developed from a misunderstanding. J..F. Toomey, secretary of the car penters' district council, who went from' here to Boston, sent a telegram 'stating that no information had been received from the general presidents by any Boston local. Vhis was taken to mean, that some one had' failed to forward proper instructions' and steps were at once taken to' straighten out , the tangle. After an Informal meeting of. the general presidents the Boston situation was explained by Vice-President John Duncan thus: .."We find that some of the general presidents did not forward Instruction's to the Boston locals until today. Some of the messages were sent so late that they undoubtedly failed to reach Bos ton prior to the meeting held this after noon. We expect that the order to re turn to work will be obeyed when it is received In due form." - h message from Newark'.said all the men there had returned to work and would ayait adjustment of ther grlev ; ahces.
