Organized labor blamed for the war at AFL convention
President Samuel Gompers told the American Federation of Labor in Denver that German organized labor could have stopped World War I if acted in time, accepting full responsibility for his remarks. British and Canadian delegates voiced views on labor issues as the convention urged federal investigation into the Mingo county strike and warned against disrupting the labor movement. James H. Thomas of England cautioned that Ireland could not be solved from afar. M. M. Fry of Kansas City was a business visitor.
