BOK PEACE AWARD
SIXTY THOUSAND MEN
PORFLAND, ORE., ISept. 20.—
The scheduled arrival here on Wed
nesday, September 26, of Samuel
Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and other ex
ecutive officers of the organization
will mean the speeding up of plans
for the big forty-third annual con
vention of the federation which will
be held in Portland, October 1-14.
President Gompers and his party
are due here on the 6:15 a. m. train
and will be met by members of the
local committee in charge of the con
vention. Headquarters will be estab
lished at the Multnomah hotel and
the party will immediately start
work in organizing administration
plans for the convention.
The most important pre-convention
business will likely be the hearing
given the Central Labor council of
Seattle over it3 action some while
ago in endorsing the Russian Soviet
government. Labor leaders are con
jecturing just what the outcome of
the hearing will be.
Between 600 and 700 delegates
are expected at the convention. They
will come from all parts of the Uni
ted States as representatives of the
great national and international
unions, state federation and central
labor couneils. Delegates will be here
from Canada, France. Eingland, Italy,
Cuba, Australia and Pan-American
coutries. Large delegations are ex
pected from all the Pacific Coast
labor centers.
Governor W’alter M. Pierce and
Mayor George L. Baker of Portland
will welcome the delegates at the
formal opening of the convention at
the municipal auditorium, October
1. Otto H. Hartwig, president of the
Oregon State Federation of Labor
will give the welcome for the labor
organization and President Gompers
will speak for the visiting* delegates.
Sessions of the federation will be
in the nature of an open forum with
no set program being followed from
day to day. Business sessions will
be held morning and afternoon and
occasional night gatherings will be
in order.
Trips over Portland, journeys a-
long the Columbia River Highway
and possibly week-end jaunts to the
beaches will make up the entertain
ment features. Special theatre par
ties and other affairs will be held
for the viMting ladies.

Washington, Sept. 22— The Bok
Peace Award Committee has an
nounced that more than 200,000
people, a sixth of whom are women
have asked for the terms of the con
test. To the fifty-one organizations
cooperating in the award, have been
added the American Farm Bureau
Federation, the National Fraternal
Congress of America, the United
States Junior Chamber of Commerce,
the National Democratic Club, the
Foresters of America, the Illinois
Manufacturers Association, the Nat
ional Boot and Shoe Manufacturers’
Asociation, the Silk Association of
America, and Veterans of Foreign
Wars. *
The complete Jury of Award, of
which Elihu Root is already a mem
ber, will be announced this week.
The award itself, to be made after
Jaunary 1st, 1924, will be followed
by the publication of the winning
plan, which, it is hoped and expected
will form the basis for a movement
towards world peace along new lines
not as yet considered either by
League of Nations or the Hague.
Competitors in the contest must
have their papers in before Novem
ber 15th. If 200,000* compete, it
seems probable the award announce
ment will be delayed.
