Samuel W. Gompers, president Ot the It-deration, In Introducing Mr. Wllnon referred to him as "this man of destiny, spokesman for freedom. Interpreter of the aims and spirit of our time, lender of thought and action among the nations of the earth." Mr. Wilson begau by saying be es teemed it a privilege and an honor to lie present, as It seemed to htm a time above all others for common counsel, "a t.uie for drawing the energies of the nation together.'' The President referred to the pres ent as a "time more crilcal than the world has yet known." It was important "in this moment of counsel to remind ourselves of how the war came about," he said and con tinued : Germany Started War. "This is the last decisive issue be tween the old principle of power and the new principle of freedom," he said, "the war was started by Ger many, Her authorities deny it, but I am willing to awatt the Tcrdlct of history on the statement I have Just made." "Germany had a place In the un," the President continued. "Why: was she not satisfied?" "What more did she want?" The President described Germany's expansion as a nation: "You only have to answer the question of why she was not satisfied tn her methods ot competition," telling how the methods of Germany havo "laid hold of Indus try." lie said it was not only Indus trial control of labor, but political con trol as well. The Berlin'Bagdad railroad project was designed to run the force ot thia threat down the flanks of half a doien other nations. Could Control World. Tho l'resideut alluded to Uermany'i "map or Europe," and said that "It she can keep that she will control the world, providing the pruaent authorit ies that control Germany can continue to control." "J'ower cannot be used .against a free people when the power la con trolled by tho people," he adod, a statement which the audience loudly applauded. "Germany li determined tlutt the political power of the world sin ill belong to her. It Is arnaxing to mm that any groups should be eo mis Informed as In certain circles of Rus sia, as to believe that they can live wlthiiut danger from Germany. 1 op pose not the feeling ot pacitlciats, but their .stupidity. The puciflciulM do not know .how to got peace, but I do." V'xplalns House Mission.' The I're.sliicnt referred to the tend ing of Col. House to Europe, "a hav ing sent a greater lorr of pence than any man in the world, but 1 did not send him to negotiate peace. I Bent hi m to delurmlue how the war Is to be won." Taking up the labor question In the l'nlted States the President said: "it we are truo friends of freedom we will see that power and product ivity ot the country shall be kept at maximum. Nobody ahall Tie allow ed to aland In the way. The govern ment won't keep them from doing this hut the spirit of the American people wllL "We must stand together night and day until the war Is over said the President, adding "that while we are IUlillni- for freedom we must ensure the freedom of labor." "The horses that kick, over the traces mtiet be put In a corral," he asserted. Pralsee Gompera The President praised the work of Samuel Gompera and the labor lead ers' support of the government. "Nobody has the right" said the President "to slop the processes ot labor until all methods of conciliation have been exhausted. And I do not spe&k to you alone. I have found la bor In many Instances more reason able than the other side." Appeals for Co-operation. The President appealed tor co-operation. He said that be would "like to see all the critics exported." He said: "We must get down to business and everyone must do the right thing." "Never show oureelves Americans by going off in separate groups, to talk by ourselves but by co-operating In a common enterprise which Is to realize the spirit of the world from bondage" he declared. Denounces Law Breakers The President denounced organi zations which he said are trying to destroy the law, but In every case he said, they should be dealt Justice. "I am opposed," he said, "to our taking the law Into our own hands, as mw:b as I dislike tho activities of these organizations." "The man who takes the law Into his own hands is not the man to co operate with on any development ot laws and institutions," the President asserted. "We must not only take commcV counsel but we must obey comtnu counsel." instrumentalities must be defined where they do not exist, salstthe President, to bring the proper amount of cooperation between labor? and capital. f "The reason i came a way! from Washington," he continued, "il that I get lonely down there. There ire so many people In Washington who know thin's-g that are not so. iThere are so many people In Washington who do not know what the rlrt of tne people wnat I have to comeiaway to find out. The President concluded by sating: "I'm with you If you are with fte." explaining he did not mean he wait ed co-operation with himself persrfV ally, but as the representative of thi whole rntted States government. Address of Welcome. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 12. With an ap peal to all American working men to place their full and undivided force behind the fighting men at the front, and a picture of what labor may ex pect if Germany wins tho war, Presi dent A. A. Landon, of the Huffalo chamber of commerce, today welcom ed the American Federation of Labor at the opening of its convention" here. A former labor leader himself, he eaplalnnd how troops in the field give their lives and blood for naught when workers at home are In dispute. In stead of putting all their energy In keeping the fighting men supplied, Mr. Landon appealed to all labor to sink everything in a tremendous effort to do its part to win the war. I'President Wilson," declared Mr. Landon, "has said we are fighting a war for democracy. We are not only fighting a war for democracy but a war for Industrial freedom and self protection, a war to conserve that which we now have. A victory for Germany would mean slavery for the American people for generations to come, and the people who worlt will be the greatest sufferers. Conditions In Europe. "I spent the summer of 1915 and 1918 in France and Italy doing what I could In helping them In their efforts to increase the efficiency of their in dustries so that they could hold back the German army and possibly defeat It. In 1915 England was In a very sad way. "X was In England when the Prin cess Pat, Canadian regiment, was lit erally cut to pieces. You know they went In a full regiment of 2,400 men and came out with 160 men and eight officers and them ost of them wound ed. I was atlking to a young Canadian officer and he told me they bad run out of ammunition, that the artillery had run out o fshells and that they had to crawl out on their bellies leaving approximately 2,000 men behind dead and missing. They even had to wit ness one of their officers crucified be fore their very eyes. "And what was happening In Eng land? A large amount ot munitions was completed and ready to ship and could have been used in this very bat tle. I was told that It would not be delivered In less than three weeks tor the reason that the workmen were taking tholr usual summer's holiday, while their own brothers and sons and relatives were undergoing the hard ships and tortures ot hull and the very nation was In danger. Must Answer Kaiser. "And now we are lu this war and this convention Is going to give the answer, so far as yuu are concerned to the American people and to our al lies and last but not least to the em peror of Germany. "May we not hope that a national spirit may be reborn here. May we not hope that a message will come from this convention Into the very teeth of the kaiser saying to Mm that this Is a democracy, that marching shoulder to shoulder to France Is the rich man and the poor man everyone striving to the common end and victory for de mocracy and self-preservation and be ing sure that we have given to those sons ot ours and those brothers ot ours who are in France, everything that could possibly be required so (bat they may do their work well; that they may be a credit to American tra ditions; so that they may never be able to say 'Why didn't you back me up.
