vnn. V. P. Staff Correspondent.) The
American Federation of Iahor conven
tion seeks a solution of the uncnmlov-
ment problem. Several delegates made I
proposals to provide work for Idle
men. the moBt Important of which was
the establishment of a six hour duy
ii ml abolishment of all overtime. A
strlrt enforcement or regulations and
prohibition of admission of foreign
workmen, especially from Japan and
China, wna urged by the Pacific coast
delegates.
Tho convention adopted a resolution'
uraing the senate . adopt the Ijifol
lette measure providing an Invesllga-
t'nn of the "loekoit of Anierlcsn sea
men" now In operation. The resolu
tion declared the "union baiting was
smoke sorccn to lj;id the purpose of
the International shipowners to drive
American Mrs men and vessels from the
ocean. Andrew Furuselh. favoring the
resolution, declared that wagns were
not tho main-aubject of negotiations
between the seamen and employers.
The iiuestlon Is whether American
shipping will lie driven from the
