Resolutions of Protest
Adopted at Conentton
ST. PAUL. June 17. Resolutions
protesting against the attitude of
Newcomb Carlton, president of the
Western Union Telegraph company,
in the controversy with the telegraph
operators employed by that company
were adopted today at the conven
tion of the American Federation of
Labor. Action was deferred on a
resolution asking that steps be taken
to prohibit exportation of newsprint
paper to other than allied countries.
This shortage is due, primariy, ac
cording to the resolution, - to low
wages, strikes and lockouts. Officers
ot paper manufacturing unions plac
ed the blame for the shortage on
manufacturers and publishers and
is what he said, and Ann,
the sheriff's daughter, got
the "drop on him."

A report shows that since its In

One of the .purposes to which
considerable part of the presidential

"There remains the uses for
such a fund which I may perhaps
characterise as continuing but In

the conduct of many necessary inTes

to which the gorernment associations
