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."

Touch a Corn with Ice-Mint, Then
Lift It Right Off-It Won't Hurt a Bit

Here Is the real "Corn Killer" at
last. Say good-bye to your old

Pet Corn of yours is sure to be a
"Goner" if it ever feels the Magic
touch of Ice-mint. This is a new
discovery made from a Japanese
product and it is certainly a won
der the way it ends corn misery.
From 'the very second that Ice
mint touches that pore, tender corn
your poor tired, aching: feet will
feel s<> cool, easy and comfortable
that you will just sigh with re
lief. Think of it; only a little
general of the National Guard, de
signated by Adjutant General Stew
art to represent him in the registra
tion under the conscription act, and
Major Howard S. Williams, appoint
ed disbursing officer by the War De
partment, will be stationed here af
ter to-day to co-operate with Colonel
Lewis E. Beitler, of the State Defense
Commission, In arranging for the
registration. Governor Brumbaugh

and mayors informing him of organ
ization of registration boards in
counties and cities and of many of

The registration will be directed
from offices outside of the Capitol
but under authority of the Govornor.
Aid of State Police and National
Guardsmen may be asked by State
Commissioner of Health Dixon to en

up and quarantining of persons in
districts where smallpox has been
discovered. Commissioner Dixon to
day received word of suspicious cases
among" laborers brought into the
State and directed medical officers to
make investigations.

Word was received at the Execu

Hard corns, soft corns or corns
