CLOSING SESSION STORMY
Government Ownership of Jtoads
Demanded Hands Off In Mex
ico Policy Avowed.
MONTREAL. June 19. The Ameri
can Federation of Labor, adjourned if.s
annual convention here' tonight after
indorsing the league of nations with
out reservations.
The. closing session of the two
weeks' convention -was a stormy one.
Irish sympathizers, - supported, by the
progressive wing of the federation,
opposed the movement to indorse the
league and throughout the debate
President Samuel Gompers had diffi
culty in maintaining order. '.His gavel
was smashed in his efforts.
Mr. Gompers and . the executive
council will leave immediately for
Washington to put into operation the
programme framed by the convention.
The first move, it was said, will be
launched against the democratic na
tional convention to obtain Incorpora
tion of the federation's programme in
the party platform. they will urge
also that the federation's non-partisan
political policy, unanimously approved
by the convention, be carried out.
Labor Programme Outlined.
Labor's programme as outlined by
the convention demands:
Kattfliation of the peace treaty.
;overnmPnt ownernh ip, -with democratic
operation, of railroads.
Curb on profiteering and high cost of
living.
Jailing ot rond and clothing profiteers.
Klght to strike and abolition of com
pulsory arbitration and anti-strike legisla
tion. Viands off in Mexico by the United States
government.
Indorsement of the Irish republic.
Right of collective bargaining.
Advances in wages wherever necessary
to maintain the American standard of
living.
Shorter work day, if necessary to pre
vent unemployment. ,
Dan McKillop of Seattle led the op
position to the league of nations cov
enant, because, he said, it guarantees
the territorial integrity of the Brit
ish empire. He also declared that the
American working man does not un
derstand "the full meaning of this
league."
The report of the committee on in
ternational relattons was character
ized as an "outrage" in that It rec
ommended the adoption, of a league
with the provisions of article 10.
Appenlx Made for League,
The league of nations issue arose
shortly before adjournment. Its op
ponents were unable to gather suffi
cient votes for a rollcall and a num
ber of Irish sympathizers jumped to
the floor and demanded that their
votes be recorded as "no" in the
record. '
President Gompers was compelled to
take the floor in support of the league.
when it became apparent that the del
egates were swinging to the opposi
tion. Members of the executive council
made emphatic appeals in behalf of
the covenant.
The report of the committee on
international relations, which waB
adopted, declared that to reject the
league would be "indorsing the policy
of greed, hatred and brutal war as
the rule that guides in the settlement
of relations between nations."
"It is not a perfect document and
perfection is not claimed for it," the
report added. "It does, however, mark
the nearest approach to perfection
that ever has been devised for the
prevention of war. It must meet
with the unqualified approval and
support of the American working
people."
Covenant Support Irged.
"When has the American Federa
tion of Labor failed to place itself on
record for international peace?" asked
Mr. Gompers. "I can't recall it. The
federation has endeavored to use fts
influence and power to prevent war.
Who has not struggled for such
peace? Shall we now reverse the un
interrupted policy which we have sup
ported?"
Speaking of disarmament, Mr. Gom
pers said:
"Even if the United States should
ratify the league of nations, the world
will not see disarmament the first
year, maybe for a decade.
"But," he added, "we are not deter
mining these questions for the i
mediate day in which we live. - We
lay the foundation for the structure
of peace and good will for our chil
dren and our children's children."
