CHICAGO. Sept. 4-Chicago's city council, sitting as committee of the whole. at the end of a turbulent four hour special session today adopted l.s a vote of 42 to resolution praisins Governor LoWden for his action in overriding Mayor William H. Thomp- s7n by refusing permission to the Peo- plc's Council for Democracy and Peace Terms to meet in Illinois and urging the states chief executive to prevent any meeting in the future which may be inimical to public safety or dsloyal or reasonable to the United States. The resolution which was presented by Alderman Toman was strengthened by several amendments before final adop- tion. The city council will meet Octo- Der to adopt the resolution recom-
 nendcd by the aldermanic committee of the whole.
 This course was made necessary by the fact that there were not enough aldermen present to suspend the rules for the immediate passage of the reso- lution. The session was held under a heavy police guard with Mayor ThOrnp- son presiding.
 Mayor Thompson and his friends in the council made a stubborn prelim mary fight to prevent the adoption of the resolution.

THOMPSON DISLOYAL
 SAYS CITY COUNCIL

Mayor Thompson at one time urged the aldermen 10 take recess until, evening but the majority insisted upon remaining in session until the resolu- tion had been adopted. Alderman Mi chaelson led the opposition to the reso- lution.
 Action against Mayor Thompson was asked of state and federal authorities in resolutions adopted at a meeting today of sub committee of the exec utive committee of the National Se- curity League.
 The resolution adopted recites the mayors acts in allowing the pacffist meeting after it had been forbidden by Governor Lowden. and adds:
 Tn our opinion he the mayor). is q disloyal citizen. In all of this he has altogether misrepresented the senti- ment of the loyal people of his own city and state. In our opinion by his words and actions since the outbreak of the war he has adhered to the enemies of his country, giving them aid and comfort, which the constitution of the United States declares to be treason.
 "On behalf of the National Security League We beg to call the attention Of the authorities of the state and federal government charged with the enforce ment of their laws to this situation for their cOnSidera ton

T., Sept 4.-The American Bar association at the opening of it's annual meeting here today, deferred all other business until it had adopted by d unanimous rising vote resolutions expressing approval of vigorous prosecution of the war and had set in motion plans designed to marshal to the aid of the country law yers who are members of national state or local associations.
 IT resolutions, which were offered by Elihu Root were adopted amid scenes of enthusiasm characterized by many members as surpassing any ever enacted at similar meeting. After the reading of each paragraph, the speaker was compelled to pause while members leaped to their feet, swung their hats and cheered.
 The association recorded its absolute and unqualified loyalty to the govern ment expressed it's belief that the fu- ture freedom and security of the coun- try depends on the defeat of Germany, urged the most vigorous prosecution of the war, endorsed the plan to send American troops, however. raised. to Europe and condemned as pro- German. all attempts Tn and out of congress to hinder and embarrass the carrying on of the war under whatever cover of pacificisn or technically such attempts are made.
