Trades and Labor Congress of Canada
Will Denounce Proposed Crea-
ton of Canadian Navy.
(Herald Specially

Quebec, Sept. 20.-What bids fair to
be the most important meeting ever
held by the Trades and Labor Con-
gress of Canada was formally opened
in this city today. 1t is the twenty
fifth annual session of the congress,
and the largest in point of attendance
in the history of the organization.
The Nova Scotia miners are represent
ed for the first time, and the British
Columbia miners also have a large
representation. These delegates in
tend to press a resolution asking for
the repeal of the Lemieux Trades and
Disputes Act
The most important action of the
congress, however, will probably be
the adoption of resolution strongly
denouncing the proposed creation of
a Canadian navy Plans to induce all
Canadian organizations in the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor to withdraw
and join the Canadian body also will
be discussed.
A spirited contest between the So
cialists and the old-line trade unions
is expected for the control of the
congress. Three candidates for presi-
dent are in the field to succeed AL
phonse Verville, NJ P, who has been
at the head of the congress the past
six years. They are James Simpson.
