By the Associated Press
Washington, Aug 14
'Organized labor's emphatic opposition
to any work-or-flght provision in the
new man-power bill extending the draft
age, Is expressed In a letter from Samuel
Gompers, president of the American Ted
eratlon of Labor, received today b (litm
bers of the Senate Military Committee
The letter referred particularly to an
amendment by Senator Thomas, of Colo
rado, proposing to withdraw deferred
classifications given for industrial rea
sons where men absent themselves from
their work for more than five dajs with
out cause. The provision, as added to
the bill today by the committee, was a
modification hv Senator Reed, of Mis
souri, eliminating the five-day Ilmlt
"In my Judgment," Mr. Gompers wrote
of the Thomas amendment, "no meas

Here and there may be one or a few
who may have failed to perform their

serious consideration, whether. If a bill
were enacted Into law which all the
workers of 'our country would bo Justi

their services nd their lojalty. It would
not create a reaction most unfavorable
to our common purpose In service in
winning the war.
"In England, where the strenuous law
now obtains having provisions which

adoption by our Congress, strikes and

'The men of labor of our country are
