LABOR REJECTS PEACE PARLEY Gompers Points Out Futility of Conference at Stock holm Washington, May 25.—Another ef fort to got Americans to participate in peace parleys at Stockholm has failed when Samuel Gompers, presi dent of the American Federation of Labor, declined an invitation to send delegates to a Stockholm trade union congress to discuss the claims of la bor in connection with peace nego tiations. The congress will meet simultaneously with the Socialist peace conference, on which the State Department has uut its stamp of disapproval by refusing passports to Americans expecting to participate and by warning citizens that such participation would be in violation of the law. The Federation of Labor's invita tion came in a cablegram from President Oudegeest of the Dutch Federation of Labor Unions. Mr. Gompers cabled this reply: "Long before the United States en tered the war the American Federa tion of Labor proposed an interna tional conference after the war and at the time and place where the representatives of each government were to meet to determine the trea ties and international relations. That proposition was rejected. No\y, after the United.States is In the war, you propose a conference to be held at Stockholm at same time and place when the so-called international So cialist conference is to be held at Stockholm, and this proposition, too without consultation with trade union centers of United States and other countries. "There is no time by which Amer ican organized labor could select delegates to attend the Stockholm conference June 7, and X cannot see how any good could come from our participation in such a congress at this time."

The examinations will include physical, mental, professional and practical tests. "The dates for these examinations will be flixed later on," said General Stewart to-day. "The subjects for the professional examin ation -will be under paragraph 30 of circlar 13 of the Militia Bureau for 916 and I am preparing a list of offi cers commissioned since June 3 for certification to the War Department. I am informed that the examining board will consist of one officer from the regular army and two from the National Guard."
