At the Ituffnln convention of the A. V. of I. , iu 1!I17. Gompers was threat ened by u powerful element in the Federation. When the war aguinst Ger many was declared iu April, 15)17, Gonipers assured the President of the solidarity of American labor and pro ceeded to line up the workers in all parts of the countiv for war work. His health broke under the strain, and when the Huffalo convention opened he had just aiiseu from a sick bed. Radicul influences seized the oppor tunity to try to down him, but in a ringing speech he declured his fealty to the United States and to the war Issues. "I an. not neutial in this war." he declared. "Pacifist as I have been all my life, when 1 find there is n band of murderers ubroad, and I fall to defend m.v children, I am not a pacifist, but a coward." President Wilson. lealizing the value of Gompers to the country in the war, went to lluffnlo und addressed the con vention, and won over the delegates, so that Gonipers was re-elected by a large majority. During the war Gompers was twice sent to ICurope by the government on missions to labor. Last year he visited r.ngianu. rrance anil Italy pt the be hest of the President. During his ab sence in Italy his only daughter died. which was a great shock to the aged labor leaner. Last spring Mrs. uompers was stricken with parnlvsl, but Mr. Gom ncrs never stopped in his work. He was badlv injured in a street accident in New York last Anril. and for a time his life was despaired of. Hut he was on hand nnd ready for fight when the federation met at Atlantic City this summer and went tnrougn anotl.er hard fizht against the radical element.
