Samuel Gompers, America's veteraa labor leader, was eulogized here today by former President William II. Taft as the man who in 19 IK had "stab ilized" the workers of the world and helped win the war when German P' una dan gists had divided the ranks of labor abroad and were scheming to brine about a negotiated peace. Speaking at a luncheon given by the National Civic Federatioa to the ; president of the American Federa tion of Labor and his four colleagues on the American labor mission, who yhave just returned from the peace conference, Mr. Taft said he wished fto pay his respects to "union labor Headers wno achieved: a great tntng j not only for o:-ganised labor, but for the allies and toward the winning of the war." Mr.-Taft declared a great respon- ibiiity now rented on organized la- r and capital to avert the spread f insidious apd destructive ananh- stic doctrines' from ab.oad. lie ai- ocated "collective bargaining" and id that his experience as a nien.- of the war labor board had con vinced bim that the woikers have a right to sit in counsel tth employ ers aad discuss such questions as production, conls, wages and thw hours wf la 'tor. "We must all capitalists and workers and I he people letween welcome and encourape that part of labor which has a sense of respon sibility for the g3vernnent and for the country," he asset ted. adding, that rfwonnsiliilitv 1.4 lo be found ! in tbe ranks of orgajizrd labor and among their" present leaders.' Mr. Gompers told how tbe five American delegates to the Paris con ference had ought at 31 "grinding daily sessions of from three to seven hours each," to uphold the ideals of democracy and, by argument and wersuaMon. finally won a majority of their 88 foreign coaferees to their point of view.
