THE itTOKNING uREGUNIATS, TUESDAY, UECEMBEK TZ, 133 TI01L OFFICIALS OF LABOR 1 CITY Secretary Morrison Holds Open Shop Fight Stiil On. CONVENTION PLANS LAID Visitors Making Arrangements for Federation Gathering Next Year; Two Are to Speak. That the reported shortage of common; labor is "bunk" and that the fight for the open shop, although it has been driven under cover, is still being carried on none the less actively by such men as Gary, Schwab and others, while Attorney General Daugherty is lending every facility at his command, was the statement of Frank Morrison, vet eran secretary of the American Federation of Labor, who reached Portland yesterday. With Secretary Morrison is Will iam J. Spencer, secretary of the building trades section of the fed eration. They came to complete arrangements for the 1923 conven tion of the American Federation of Labor, which meets here October 1. They met last night with local labor leaders to go into details at the Multnomah hoteL, where they are staying. The hotel will be conven tion headquarters next year. Visitors Are Entertained. There will be a public meeting tomorrow night at the Labor tem ple, when the two men will speak on what they hope for the Portland convgntion and upon general labor topics. The visitors were enter tained yesterday by W. E. Kimsey, secretary of he Central Labor coun cil; C. M. Rynerson, editor of the Labor Press, and George H. Howell, secretary of Multnomah Typograph ical union. Jubilation over the recent elec tion throughout the country was ex pressed by Mr. Morrison. ' He de clared that men hostile to labor were defeated so generally that the result was most gratifying. He held that the Harding administration had been marked by an unfriend ly attitude toward labor, which reached its climax with the injunc tion of Attorney-General Daugh erty. Mr. Morrison said the best way the attorney-general could serve the country would be to re sign forthwith. Wage Cuts Attacked. "Talk of reducing wages is all wrong," said Mr. Morrison in de nouncing the alleged propaganda to break down wages and smash the unions. "A wc-kman must have $1.70 to day for wery dollar he received in 1914 to eeive an equal quantity of food and commodities. These fig ures are based on government sta tistics. While it is true that fond prices have declined somewhat, that item is but 38 per cent of the cost or living. Heat, shelter, light, trans portation and other things have gone up in cost." Mr. Morrison predicted that the next congress will provide for an amendment to the constitution open ing the way -for a national child labor law. He also expects to see a law that will provide for a presi dential primary instead of leaving the nomination of a president longer in the hands of party conventions. ular monthly meeting of the Society of.

One new application for the ap pointment to design and supervise construction of the two new bridges authorized in Portland was placed on file by the county commissioners at their meeting yesterday, It came from the firm of Powell & Jacobs, consulting engineers of Seattle.
