AFTER BITTER CONTEST
Nearly All Big Organizations

ATLANTIC CITY; N. . J; A reso-!
lution , expressing organized i labor's
disapproval ofl war-time prohibition
and.atrongly urging that 2 per
cent beer be exempt from the pro
visions of (the eighteenth amend
ment to the constitution and from
the war-time prohibition measure
which goes into effect Julyil, was
adopted today by the reconstruction
convention of the American Federa
tion of -Labor. A bitter fight was
waged on the proposal by dry ele
ments, especially by delegates from
Seattle, who based their arguments
on the benefits they said their city
had found through prohibition, but
was carried by an overwhelming
vote of 2.475 to 4.005. The voting
is proportional to the membership of
the unions represented. . '
The resolution will be sent to
President Wilson and congress, t
Nearly all the big labor organiza
tions of the country voted for the
resolution . The blacksmiths, spin
ners, stereotypers and delegates of
the Teachers Federation of America
all voted against it. The boilermak-
ers and Iron shipbuilders, the long
shoremen, and the typographical or
ganizations split their voteJ Aside
from Seattle, Chicago was the, only
one of the big city labor organisa
tions that voted "no." i
In the list of state federations
Florida, Missouri. Kansas and Vir
ginia voted, against it. The ; railway
clerks delegation refused to vote at
all, giving no reason, while the dele
gation from the Illinois state federa
tion of labor : declined to vote be
cause they announced their organ!
ration had taken no stand on the
matter, l ; . s . .
Immediately! after the passage of
the resolution , another was. offered
providing that the convention should
suspend Its session Saturday in order
that the delegates might go ,to
Washington on a special train to
participate jn the great demonstra
tion to be held in front of the capitol
there as a.protest against war-time
prohibition. This resolution was
adopted . almost unanimously, the
delegation from, Seattle being the
only one to vote against it. i

, Continuing, he said: "The princi

'o Almighty God for it? Today in
Russia people are ready to go back

SENATORS TO
RENEW FIGHT
ON COVENANT
Next Chapter in Controversy
Expected to Center Around
Attempt to Put Solons On
Record Regarding League.
KNOX AND LODGE WANT
ACTION IMMEDIATELY
Every Effort to Be Made to
Bring Resolution to Vote
Before Treaty Is Signed
WASH1.VGTOX. June 11. After
a short period of comparative quiet,
the senate fight over the league of
nations appears certain to be re
sumed tomorrow or Friday with a
fury that may eclipse all previous
st niggles growing out of the contro
versy.
It is around the resolution of Sen
ator Knox. Republican of Pennsyl
vania, proposing to put the senate
definitely on record regarding the re
vised covenant of the league that
the next chapter of the fight' Is to
be wtitten.
Supporters of the resolution hope
to gather enough strength to give
waruing to the Paris conference that
the treaty cannot be ratified here
in its present form, an eventuality
which the treaty supporters expect to
fight to a finish.
The foreign relations committee
today decided to take up tbe resolu
tion tomorrow morning with the
prospect that It will be brought into
the senate as soon as it meets at
noon.
It is considered likelx that the
fight will begin when tbe resolution
is called for passage Friday. Even
its friends do not expect a roll call
that day and some senators are pre
dicting there will be none for many
days to come. Senator Knox will
make every -ffort to bring it to . a
vote before the treaty is signed at
Paris and in this he apparently will
have the backing of Republican
Leader Lodge.

vention this afternoon hy President
W. S. Carter, just before he left for
Washington to resume his duties as
