Industrial Uni0nism Will Not
Take Place of Trade Autonomy

Rochester. n. Y, Nov. 2l.-After a
debate that lasted all day, members
OF the radical wing of the American
Federation Of Labor were defeated by
a vote Of nearly 2 to I in their at
tempt to have adopted the principle
OF industrial unionism in place of it's
policy Of trade autonomy.
Two hundred and forty.n nine dele
gates voted against the minority re-
port Of the committee on education
which favored the principle of indus
trial unionism and 14o voted in its
favor.
The voting strength of the conven-
tion based on membership in repre-
sented bodies. went l0.9S3 against the
minority report and 5.929 for it. Aft
er the minority report had been de-
feated the majority report in favor
Of the continuance of trade autonomy
was adopted by acclamation.
The vote was the first test o:
strength between the radical and con-
servative wings and the number of
votes polled by the radicals was slight
ly under their advance estimates. This
vote Of the United Mine Workers
(2.670) and the Western Federation
Of Miners (5o6) was cast solidly for
the minority report. Other groups
that lined up solidly with the radical
wing were the bakers and confection-
ers. iron. steel and tin workers. print
