LLOYD GEORGE SAYS
SUBMARINES FAILED
They Can Not Beat Down Eng
land's Strength America
Never Defeated
Birkenhead, England, Sept. 7- "Am
erica has never known defeat anil on
thia occasion, too, she will triumph,"
was the confident declaration of Pre
mier Lloyd-George here today that
swayed a great crowd to thunderous
applause.
The British premier admitted news
from Kussia was 'disquieting,'1 but
he declared his complete confidence
that Kussicn! loaders would "repair
the machine now under fire."
Lloyd George spoke in accepting the J
freedom ot the city.
"German attempts to sow dissension
among the allies on the east? and west
failed,' he declared emphatically.
Germany only decided to invade "Rus
sia with the sword because her other
methods failed.
The Russian revolution postpones an
allied victory. We had expected an
earlier recovery but wo must be pa
tient. "We are less concerned of the effect
of a Russian failure on the war than
with its effect on the world's democ
racy. ,
" Kussia. 's leaders are now repairing
their machine under fire. I am confi
dent they will succeed."
The premier reiterated this ofe-ex-pressed
defiance of the German subma
rine campaign. "I am absolutely con
vinced," he declared with emphasis,
"that the submarines will never be
able to beat down the empire's
strength, nor the allies' hopes."
"Germany boasts of her victories in
the east against no resistance but
the allies' success on the west, especial
ly that of the Italians, is an effectual
reply," the premier continued.
Contrary to general expectation,
Lloyd-George did not discuss the allies
war aims. His speech had been gener
ally reported as prepared with this
view.

MEAT PRICES MADE
II
Chicago, Sept. 7. J. Ogden Armour,
multi-millionaire packer, says that moat
prices will bo reduced only "when the
buying public permits the retailer to
dispense with frequent and costly de
liveries and consumers pay their bills
promptly. ' '
"Meat price increases are not duo to
big profits, so far as the meat purvey
ors are concerned," declares Armour in
an article iu Colliers Weekly of Sep
tember 15. "It is a fact that the fresh
meat from the Bteer or hog or sheep
is sold by the packers to the retailer at
a figure whic often fails to pay for
the animal on hoof.
"The profits wich enable the packer
to handle meat at less than cost are
due to the utilization of thoso portions
of the animal which until recent years
were wasted or destroyed.
"When the buying public permit the
retailer to dispense with frequent and
costly deliveries, when consumers pay
their brlls promptly so the merchant
can meet his obligations before having
to pay interest, when the quick mov
ing advertised and standardized foods
crowd the slow moving stuff off the
shelves, and when the number of stores
is limited to a point which will permit
of a big business being done by each
then and not till then will the re
tailer be able to pass meat and other
foods along to the consumer at a price
which will not seem high when com
pared with the wholesale price."
GOMPERS ELECTED AS
HEADJF ALLIANCE
Convention Pledges Loyal
Support to Government
and World's Democracy
Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 7 Sam
uel Gonipers,' president of tho Ameri
can Federation of Labor, was elected

Well, Illinois; Jacob ,i. Shepherd, Cal
ifornia; .lames C. Holland, New Jer
sey and David J. Dairy, Pennsylvania.
Resolutions were adopted pledging
the support of loyal labor to the cause
of democracy, denouncing pacifist ene
mies of the republic and calling on the
worker unanimously to support the
president. Unity of action was. declar
ed the fundamental necessity of the
hour.
A committee of five was ordered ap
pointed to communicate with tho lead
ers of tho Rusian democracy and to
convey the greetings ,of the conference
to tne missian workers: In the resolu
tion giving these directions, the aims
of the United States are declared to bo
identical with those of the Russian de
mocracy. Champions Small Nations
' 'Loyal American labor and social
ism dedicates itself to Hie support of
the Russian democracy," says the pro
nouncement. Another declaration cham
pions the causo of Binall nationalities.
hile declaring for tree speech, the
conference gave small .comfort 'to those
who would use their democratic liber
ties for the destruction of democracy.
Kneiuies of the republic who falsely as
sumed to speak for socialism and de
mocracy were strongly denounced in a
resolution, which said:
"In misrepresenting the govern
ment's purposes, in .traducing the char
acter of the president, in stealthily at
tempting to incite sedition and in open
ly .or impliedly counselling resistance
to thupont'oroemeut of the laws enacted
for the national defense, they abuse
the, rights of free speech, free assem
blage and free press."
The industrial policy adopted by the
conference favored a sturdy defense
of labor's interests, as not iu the least
incompatible with supremo loyalty to
the ffovernn cut. Conscription of wealth
was demanded and taxation of land
values.
Government Must Control
Industrial enterprises, the confer
ence declared, should be the servants
and hot. the masters of the people... In
cases where differences between own
ers and workers threaten discontin
uance of production necessary for the
war, tho government should assume
control of the industries affected.
Government action to check specula
tion was recommended. To increase the
food supply, the government should
commandeer all land necessary for such
purposes and should tax idle land pri
vately held up to its full rental vaue,
tho conference held-
A resolution was adopted declaring
the right of collective action to bo nec
essary for the workers. Wage earners
