Stand Against Violence.


Aside from the nominations, the on
ly other business of the convention at

section of the constitution which
places the party as taking a decided
stand against violence as a weapon of
the working classes" The session vas

the section hours of debate, which
many times ran into personalities.
The section was opposed by the "di-
rect action forces who have been es-
pousing the cause of the Industrial
Workers of the World and was favored
by the so-called yellow" or onser
vative faction in the party. Bernard
Berlyn of Chicago, in speaking in ia
vor of the section, denied he was "yel-
low" related his experiences in Colo
RADIO where he was Sent into various
sections which he said were regarded
as unhealthy" for socialists and con-
cluded by saying: II would 60 to hell
II told to make a Socialist speech
there" He said violence did not gain
the working classes anything.
Congressman Victor l.. Berger of
Milwaukee declared those who opposed
the section belong with Emma Gold
man and are trying to hide behind "po-
litical action"

Washington, d. G.. - The house
adopted, by a vote of 237 to SO, a joint
resolution providing for an amend
ment to the constitution to permit the
election of United States senators by
direct vote of the people. 1t already
had passed the senate and now goes
to the states for ratification.
All that remains to be done is the
formal signing of the instrument and
the issuance of a proclamation to the
states to signify their wishes on the
proposed change.
There was not a single Republican
vote cast against the resolution, which
was adopted to the accompaniment of
thunderous applause.
The direct election of senators was
first taken up by congress in 1926.
From time to time recurring attempts
have been made to make the senate
a Popular body, and have its men,
bers elected as are the members OF
the house. Numbers Of these resolu-
tons have died in committee, while
others were passed at the last mo-
ments of a congress never to receive
the presidents signature

The administration purposes TO use
all its influence to induce the senate
to refuse to accept the provision in
the legislative bill passed by the
house abolishing the scheme OF re-
organization of the state department
inaugurated by Secretary of State
Knox.
In a statement issued by Acting
| Secretary of State Wilson it Is assert

eign service created under the reor'
ganization of the department in 1910.

Washington, d. c. - Supported by
all of the Progressive Republicans, the
house passed the Clayton a%nti-injunc-
ton bill, 244 to 81. Every Democrat
present voted for it, and the result
was announced to the accompaniment
of a remarkable demonstration.
The legislation is regarded as one
of the most advanced steps yet taken
in the interests of organized labor.
Throughout the debate, President
Gompers, Secretary Morrison and a
half dozen members of the executive
committee of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor were interested listen
ers. They occupied a front row in the
members gallery.
The bill amends the law to prohibit
the issuance of injunctions without
notice being served on those affected.
Such injunctions would be effective
for sever days only, and renewal
would be possible only when the court
was convinced such action was neces-
sary for the conservation of rights
of property.
John Doe" injunctions would be
impossible and the rights of peaceful
picketing" in strikes OF peaceful boy
COTS would be recognized.
