TRADES COUNCIL, AFTER RECEiV. ING LETTER FROM NEW YORK
 BODY, ASKS HIS RECALL.
FOE OF ORGANIZED WORKERS
American Colony in British Capita Indignant Because Protest Is Not Made Until New Ambassador
 Has Sailed for His Post.

London, May 1.-The London Trades Council, repre.Nnting 50,000 trades unionists, has registered a pro test against the appointment of Wal, ter H. Page as American ambassador to England. This was done after 8 letter had been received from the All lied Trades Council of New York, stating that MT. Page was member of firm that Is bitterly opposed to organized labor.
 The council requested President Wilson to recall MT. Page and substi ute an ambassador who would more truly represent the opinions of the working classes of the United States and be more acceptable to the organ ized workers of Great Britain.
 The council also urged Sir Edward Grey to protest against receiving MT. Page.
 No recognition by the foreign office was made of the protest against Page, who now is on the Atlantic bound for London.
 In the American colony considerable indignation was expressed because of the labor organization delay in pass ing its resolution against Ambassador Page. It was pointed out that many weeks elapsed between his appoint ment and his leaving for England, during which time the council could easily have been in possession of all the alleged information against Pages labor ideas that 1t has.
 The resolution adopted by the coun- ell says that the body strongly re- sents the appointment to the Court of St. James of an ambassador who is bitter opponent of organized labor in his own country"
 Copies of the resolution were sent to President Wilson at Washington and Sir Edward Grey, British secre- tary of state for foreign affairs.
