Ohio,, June ? 4. Samuel (jonipers -won his fight today, to place the American Federation of Labor on record as 'opposed: 4o recognition of tha soviet government of : Russia. His victory, was' partially, due to a stirring address by -Matthew Woll. vice -president of )' thel American Fed eration, just before the vote was taken. Gompers believes . the stand . pt the federation - against... recognition is 'the greatest . achievement of the conven tion. . . - r - "Cur convention i arose to the full height of its dignity and took Its stand for freedom." he said tn: discussing the subject Just 'before the convention ad- joumed..- CAMPAIGJT LOSES ' f . : - Tn spite of the propaganda the cam paign war crushed to defeat. Every effort was made to win support for the "soviet autocracy. Jfot a 'single union fras been . overlooked . by- the propagandists for soviet brutality. The convention emerged from the cloud o( . hateful propaganda and stood true to American, principles." Tbe soviet .supporters made- a stub born fight. 'The battle raged ; all of yesterday afternoon and this morning. They contended t Is nobody's Dusiness what government the Russians set UP, but it should . be recognized so trade relations 'can be resumed and. unem ployment lessened. - 4 4 WOLL TUBUS TIDE I, " - The. convention seemed to be about equally, divided unUl Woll spoke. - "If we fa vor recognition, ho said, "the story Tvill go out that we have in dorsed, not socialism, but sovletism with ll its horrors and butcheries. . ''More than that, we will be playing Into the hands of the capitalists. We want to prevent Kussla's oil and timber and other resources from falling Into the hands of " American and foreign monopolies,' for these things are- the birthright of the Russian, people." n The convention passed a resolution favoring recognition ' of the Obregon government of Mexico. - . The strike of the New En r land tex tile workers was indorced. . - ; 4.v RESULTS SHOWS ' v- - The big achievements of ' the Jtwo weeks' sessions are: - ,-J 1 Adoption "of a plan to Taring about four amendments to the federation constitution and three laws calculated to slash the power' of the supreme court an9r -repeal lawe held to be adverse to-labor, i -: s.. .

POLICIES -ALIKE X r ' The policies outlined tot the federa tion. for the coming year are mudh the same as; they hare been In the -past. The federation reversed itself, on only two important questions. - - It- passed a resolution favoring Henry Ford's offer to. lease Muscle Shoals. -' In the past It baa always gone on record as opposed to private control of water power. - . .., The convention also urged repeal of the Sherman anti-trust . law, for. which the federation fought for years to have passed. The change Is due to the fact that labor leaders claim the law ha? been misinterpreted hy the courts and is used against the unions as well as against trusts. - - - Sdentif ic Knowledge 1 i j j "--.,w.-,...WJI, .
