LABOR AND WAR.
WORLD STRIKE PROPOSAL. AMERICAN LABOR OPPOSED. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Washington, Nov. 22. The American Federation of Labor has announced that it will not participate in the Labor anti-war conference at the Hague on December 10 because at would bind the Federation in advance to support an international strike in the event of war, regardless of whether the war was purely defensive or otherwise. Further objections were that the conference favored nationalisation of wealth and did not permit the introduction of new and original proposals to the conference agenda. The Federation, in declining the invitation, stated an international congress devoted to the subject of international peace might be helpful if not committeed to advance proposals, which were not only lacking in constructive character but may easily of themselves be a very serious menace to the cause of freedom.
