LABOR IN AMERICA.
ATTITUDE OF INDEPENDENCE. NO PART IN FOREIGN DISPUTES. By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. Received March 16, 9.15 p.m. Washington, March 15. Mr. Samuel Gompers (President of the American Federation of Labor), in a letter to the International Federation of Trade Unions announcing the American Federation's severence of relations with the international body because of its radicalism, points out that American workers can be benefited little, if at all, by labor movements in other countries. “But yet we shall be glad of the opportunity to co-operate with the toilers of all lands,” he added, “but we must decline to be part of any movement undertaking the destruction of American labor movements or the overthrow of the United States Government. We shall join it, however, regardless of the policies and theories for which the various national movements may stand in their own countries, if the International Federation vouchsafe and guarantee the autonomy and independence of the American Federation of Labor.—Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
