DISPUTES CONSIDERED
BY COUNCIL OF AT Of |.
Principal Business Discussed
at Today's Session-0ne
Report for Seattle.

Consideration of disputes between differ
ent union labor organizations and of leg
islative matters affecting organized labor
was the principal business before the
executive council Of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor today. The council is
holding daily meetings at the Ouray
building this week.
No decision was reached regarding the
proposed amalgan-ation of the steam
shovelmen's organizations. There has
been a dispute because the representa-
tives OF the International Union Of Steam
Engineers have protested against the is-
suance of a charter to the steam shovel
and dredgmen. and have also protested
against the San Francisco labor council
continuing to recognize and receive dele
gates from the independent union OF
steam shovelmen.
In the case of the controversy between
the Compressed Air Workers Interna-
tional Union and the tunnel and subway
constructors organization the executive
council decided that the best interests of
both organizations would be served by
their amalgamation, and directed that the
necessary steps be taken 10 bring about
this result.
In the session held yesterday the uues-
ton of the council preparing a single re-
port to take the place of separate re-
ports of the different officers was taken
up. Acting under the authority of the
last convention. it was decided that but
one report will be presented to the Sc
attic convention, and that this will en-
body all matters of interest. This report
is to be issued in book form and given
out prior to tire convention
All of the members OF the council are
attending the meetings except Vice Presi-
dent Perham, who is expected to arrive
here later In the week.
