The days proceedings resulted in

OF tho purposes and objects of America

and submitted by John Spargo, and is
complete refutation Of the Peoples
Council demand that the objects Of the

cation that the nation does not know
why It Is at war
"The record shows" runs the resolu-

this nation have been stated with sin

President Of the United States on va

demand for a statement Of war ends,
even if made in good faith, is entirely
unwsrrsnted
The organization determined upon is
TO be non partisan and non-sectarian.
and its object is described as being "to
support the government in carrying on
the war to speedy and final victory
for world democracy and TO safeguard
and extend industrial democracy in
America"

Coal Scarcity Menaces
Industries of State
Hamilton Asks u. S. Action to
Prevent Closing Of Grape
Juice Factories

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The grape
juice industry Of Western New York
State. and big tanneries, some OF which
are working on orders not only from
the United States, but the Russian gov
eminent are seriously threatened, Rep
resentatiye Charles A. Hamilton, OF
New York, pointed out TO the Admins
tration to-day lie enlisted the aid of
Senator Wadsworth, and the two will
attempt TO obtain a modification Of the
ruling Of the Coal Administration,
which directs that the great lake car
riers shall be given 100 per cent ca
racity.
This order was made for the purpose
Of relieving railroad congestion. II
was intended to divert all the traffic
possible 10 the water carriers. so that
the railroads would not be asked TO
carry more than they could possibly
move.
The net result has been, Mr.. Hsmil-
ton pointed out. 20 give the lake ports
the necessary amount of coal. but TO
prevent the inland counties, which are
dependent on the railroads for coal
from getting enough.
zone big leather manufacturer in
Catarrsugus County told me to-day he
would have to shut his plant down
next week unless he could get some
coal in the meantime" Mr. Hamilton
said to-day. "Our grape juice concerns
are seriously up against It. We are
entering the grape season, and 1t Is
now or never with them
One official connected with the Coal
Administration said he did not think
the coal operators were producing all
the coal they could under the present
government scale Of prices, and they
were using the recent order that lake
shipments should be given preference
as an excuse for not supplying towns
depcndent solely on railroads.

Movement Nationwide

Branches are to be established m
every town and city, and membership
may be by individuals, groups or organ
izations that unreservedly pledge
themselves to the programme of the AL
lance The direction of the alliance
S TO be in the hands of a national adj
ministrative committee of not less than
nine nor more than eighteen members,
the first nine of whom, as well as
permanent president and three vice
presidents, are 30 be elected by the
present conference. The secretary and
treasurer are TO be selected by the ad-
ministrative committee.
The only bit of discord, with one eX-
ception, that has developed in the con-
vention came over adopting this outline
of organization as reported by Emmitt
Flood, Of Chicago, chairman Of the COM
mittee on organization. Several dele
gates argued that it would be autocratic
for the conference not 10 choose the
secretary and treasurer. But the an
swer was that the method Of choosing
through a delegates committee was
thoroughly democratic, and that, more
over, it insured efficiency and wisdom
of selection.
Quick Organization Demanded
There was also opposition to the rec
concentration that the administrative
committee, president and vice-presi-
dents be nominated by a committee con
sisting Of Samuel Gompers, Frank P.
Walsh and John Spargo, on the same
ground. But so determined were the
delegates TO frame an efficient and ac-
tive organization that this objection
was quickly brushed aside.
The other incident Of discord came
up over the appeal which, in reviewing
the governments liberal attitude to-
ward labor engaged in war work, stated
that an agreement had been reached
with the Secretary Of the Navy whereby
union hours, wages and conditions shall
obtain on all construction work Hugh
4 Riley, representing the Machinists' IN
ion of Newark, n. j., arose and called
the attention of the convention TO the
fact that 10000 ship-builders were now
on strike in the New York vicinity
for union detectives, and because Of
: that fact, took exception to the accur-
acy of the statement made in the ap-
peal.
When he explained that he had sub
mitted to the resolutions committee a
resolution on this matter, Chairman
Gompers ruled that he was out Of or
der, and the incident was closed.
