RADICAL WING
 IS BADLY DEFEATED

railway carmen and journeymen taiors.
 The debate preceding the vote is said by veteran labor men to have been one of the most spirited that ever took place in a federation convention.
 As a result of the adoption of the ma jority report the federation will continue, for year at least, to recognize the inde- pendent autonomy of international and national unions affiliated. with it and whenever its policy of trade autonomy seems unsuited to the industry it will in- troduee the principle of industrial union- ism.
 Among the speakers who advocated the adoption of the minority report were John Mitchell, Frank Hayes and Duncan Mcdonald of the United Mine Workers and Joseph D. Cannon of the Western Federation of miners.
 Defenders of the federation's present policy were President Gompers, Andrew Furuseth, president of the Seamen's h. ternational union; Henry D. Perham, seventh vice president of the federatio and Daniel J. Tobn, president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and Chauffeurs
 The committee on adjustment will make its report tomorrow and the next day it is expected the second conflict be- tW cen the radical and conservative forces will take place on the proposal of the radicals that officers of the federation be elected by referendum vote of the 2,00G GOO members

The matter was brought before the convention today when a reso- lution was adopted indorsing the adverse action of the standing committee on the ground that the consecration of Dr. Sil- yer Introduces the question of divorce and remarriage of divorcees.a
 The resolution occasioned considerable discussion during which emphasis was placed upon the fact that there was inti- nation In the refusal to confirm the new bishop of anything detrimental to Dr. Silver's character. It was stated that the convention was simply living up to the tenets of the church.
 Later the resolution was amended by striking out specific mention of Dr. Sil- ver's name and merely indorsing the committees action.
 The only thing I regret about the con vention,' said Right Rev. William Cross well Doane, bishop of the diocese. just before the convention adjourned 'is the last action. l think the resolution should have been adopted as originally intro duced- The act that the man is di- vorced was enough to make it impossi- ble for him to be cohsecrated."
