By JOHN EDWIN NEvIN

BY JOHN Edwin NENi IN
WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.--Although the
reply OF the Allies TO the demand that they
abandon their blacklist" and "blackmau-
ing" methods in dealing with United states
merchants and their trade will reach here
this week. possibly tomorrow, and VIII hatly
reject all of the American contentions' II
will not affect the present status quo
attitude OF the Administration. There Will
be no immediate reply As In the case OF
the mail seizures reply. the State Depart
ment will take the new communication 'un-
der consideration" until after election. And
officials, who are following the general
situation. say frankly they would not be
surprised should President Wilson defer
early in December
The suggestions that a general policy OF
reprisal can Immediately be put into effect
are said by State Department officials to be
impossible While most of the departments
directly concerned have made general
study OF the methods to be followed IL such
a policy definitely is decided on, their con-
cluslons have not been approved either by
Secretary OF state Lansing or by the Presi-
dent.
BY nature of the very delicate character
OF the negotiations Secretary Lansing has
declined 10 make public his plans even
though subjected TO severe criticism for
apparently doing nothing. But officials
who are closest to the Secretary say that
his position will be found to be a very
strong one when all of tho facts can be
revealed.

GOMPERS' IDEA TO DELIVER
VOTE WAS PLANNED AS COUP
Democrats and Republicans Amazed by
Audacity of Scheme

WASHINGTON. Oct. g3,-The action of
Samuel Gompers. president of the American
Federation of Labor. IN attempting 10 de-
liver TO the Democratic party the entire
labor vote of the country is one of the big
coups which President Wilson's campaign
managers intended TO pull on before the
election.
Democrats and Republicans alike were
amazed at the andacty OF the scheme,
by which Gompefs hopes to throw the
whole labor vote OF the United States TO
the President Never before in the his
tory OF the United States has there, been
an effort made openly TO deliver the vote
OF organized labor to one party. Leading
labor unionlsts for years have fought
against the mixing of labor affairs in par
tisan politics. declaring that II the down
fall OF the labor cause is ever accomplished
II would be such tactics that would
do H. There is much comment on the fact
that President Gompers was recently
charged by Senator Sherman with at
tempting TO deliver the trade uniohists to
President Wilson.

CENTRAL LABOR UNIONS
REJECTION OF WILSON
BACKED BY IT'S CHIEF
Edward A. Keenan,, President,
Condemns Plan to Railroad
Resolution Indorsing the
Democratic Candidate
SCHEME our or ORDER

labor unlonlsts In this city today are die.
cusaine an attempt made yesterday 10 rail-
road a resolution lndorsing the candidacy
of President Wilson NJ a secret meeting OF
The Philadelphia Central Labor Union, 2s2
North Ninth street
The resolution was condemned In bitter
terms by Edward A. Keenan. president OF
The central labor body. and finally IL was
declared out OF order and tabled indefinitely.
After the meeting Keenan, declared In the
moet emphatic terms that mo political ac-
tlon was taken by the Central Labor Union.
The union is a body representing labor
and does not dabble In politics"
when questioned as 10 n Wilson resolu-
tion, he denied that any had been made.
Such a resolution, he asserted. was out OF
order and therefore he refused to con-
sider Il.
In this" he added. II was supported by
the Central Labor Union more strongly
than ever before, although since becoming
president OF the union I have always taken
that stand and fought for IT,"
Although the Central Labor Union usually
ndjourns promptly at s o'clock. yesterdays q
meeting. sbecause of the politics infused
into IL. did not conclude until after 2
o'clock and all the members were strangely
silent as TO exactly what went on In the
meeting Yet, as some OF them left they
smiled or swore according TO whether or
not they were pleased by the Fate OF the
resolution.
At one crucial stage Of the meeting the
doors swung open, displaying Keenan, on
his feet and before the doors were again
closed by the interested doorman he was
heard to shout:
II am going TO vote for Woodrow Wilson.
but that Is no reason why the Central
Labor Union should back any candidate.
This body is representative only OF the
workingmen who are union men and Is no
place for political dlscnsslons- The men
who have made this an occasion TO deliver
such a political speech are misrepfesenting
their respective locals Furthermore. l
have had quite n bit of experience in labor
bodies and never knew any candidate
who was backed by the labor organizations
20 win at the polls"
Another meeting Of the union will be
held the Sunday before election day. Yes
terdays hght evidently represented the
crucial effort Of the political and Wilson
element to have the candidacy OF the Pres
ident indorsed. following a like movement
by the American Federation of Labor. The
absence of several of the prominent lead
ers OF the labor movement in this city points
strongly to this view

Resolution Condemning Fedora
ton President for Indorsing'
Wilson's Candidacy Sent
Back to Committee
CLASH WITH RADICALS

A resolution condemning Samuel Com
pers president of the American Federation
Of Labor for indorsing President Wilson,
was introduced today before the thirteenth
biennial convention Of the lnternational
Ladies' Garment Workers Union, In Scot
tish Rite Hail. two hours before Gompers
was scheduled to address the delegates.
The resolution was referred back To the
resolutions committee
Excitement was caused by the introduc-
tlon OF the resolution. which arraigned
Gompers and other officers of the federation
for attempting 20 drag the organization into
politics The resolutions committee drew
up the document unaware Of the fact that
on Saturday Gompers had called upon the
federation to support Wilson.
After nearly an hours debate. in which
radicals proposed withdrawing from the
federation and forming a labor party the
resolution was referred back to the com
mttee.
THE RESOLUTION
The resolution. No. 20, which called upon
the convention to "emphatically dsapprove
of the policies and conduct of the federation
officers" said in part
"The past policies of the executive coun-
ell of the Amer can Federation of Labor
in many instances have been timid. con-
servative. inefficient and incons stent The
chief executive officers have committed the
largest and most powerful body of or
ganized labor in this country to an undig-
nlhed policy OF lobbying and begging and
have attempted to make the federation an
annex 20 one OF the old political parties,
managed principally in the interests OF the
employing class"
Because of the failure of the officers OF
the federation to work more aggressively
and progressively, the resolution said, the
sympathy" strikes planned for the striking
New York carmen were failures
TURMOIL STARTED
The effect Of the resolution. which dealt
pointedy with what was only threaten
ing policy of the federation president when
the document was written. was to create
a turmoil In the convention. Some of the
delegates urged that the resolution be
rushed through as II was: others demanded
rebuke be presented to Gompers for his
Endorsement of Wilson.
Benjamin Schleslnger. president of the
union. Gained the delegates.
81 regard this resolution as a humorous
article" he said. Mind you. / am not try
ing to Justify the policies OF the American
Federation of,Labor and much less the of
ficers but II was not the fault OF the Of
ficers that lobbying was done. That is the
result of resolutions empowering It,"
The resolution then was referred to the
committee which was not given instruc-
tions as TO how to amend il.
Gompers is scheduled TO address the con-
vention this afternoon.
