In the meantime the two men in

LABOR PLEDGES
FULL LOYALTY.
Report Of Executive Com
mittee Points Meaning
Of World War.

Bunalo, N. Y, Nov. 12.-Next in i'm.
portance ito President Wilson's ad-
dress before the National Convention
OF the American Federation of Labor
here today was the report of the exc.
cutive council, the keynote Of the con.
vention to be submitted today. Pre-
llmlnary committee meetings indi-
Gated that questions arising from the
war would occupy a large part Of the
weeks deliberations and so far a.
their proceedings were made public
there was every indication that the
policies of President Gompers and his
associates on the council would be up-
held by the rank and file Of the federa-
ton.
LOYAL TO GOVERNMENT.
Demand for adequate and direct
representation Of wage earners at the
world peace conference is made in the
report. The report declares that the
world war must wipe out all vestiges
of the old conceit that the nation be-
longs to the ruler"
Questions raised by the war occupy
virtually the entire report No room
is left for doubt that the United States
has the unanimous support of organiz.
ed American labor in the war and it
is asserted with equal emphasis that
the vital interests of the average Amer
ican citizen demand that he have .
voice in the readjustments to come
with the dawn of peace.
WARNING TO LABOR.
Optimism over labor achievements
in the last year is tempered with q
warning that benefits obtained from
emergency opportunities must be
based on principles of human welfare
and not the result of taking advantage
of the nations necessity. Freedom of
expression is upheld. but the report
says those who abuse the freedom OF
the press to undermine the nations
free institutions should be punished as
traitors.
VIEWS ON PEACE
With regard to peace the report
says:
I'VE urge the adoption of the fol-
lowing declarations as the basis upon
which peace must be negotiated:
81. The combination OF the free
peoples of the world in common
covenant for genuine and practic-
al cooperation to secure justice
and therefore peace in relations
between nations.
"2. Governments derive their
just powers from the consent OF
the governed
IS. No political or economic re-
strictions meant to benefit some
nations and to cripple or embar-
rass others.

tAssociated Press Summary

TAssociated Press Summary
premier Kerensky at the head OF
100000 loyal troops is marching on
to Petrograd, where the maximallsts
rapidly are losing power. The DOL
sheviki uprising in Moscow was apor-
tive apparently and the loyal troops
have driven the revolutionaries into
the Kremlin
General Korniloff, leader of the fu-
tile revolt of some weeks ago; General
Kalednes,. former hetman OF the don
cossacks; Michael Rodzianko, presl-
dent of the duma, and Professor Mllu-
koff, constitutional democrat leader,
are reported to be forming a govern
ment in Moscow. Probably such an
organization would be more conserva-
tive than the Kerensky minister and
whether it is supporting Kerensky is
not yet Indicated.
cosSAckS OPPOSE RADICALS.
The bolsheviki and the Kerensky
forces have not, yet engaged in extern
sive fighting Loyal troops have occu-
pied Tsarskoe Selo, fifteen miles
south of Petrograd, and Premier ker-
ensky and his troops are reported at
Gatchina, about thirty miles south
west of the capital. Food sup
plies in Petrograd are reported low
and the cossacks there are backing the
minimalists, in resisting the naximal-
lists.
ss.y-v sic CITIES AEFEGTED.
Apparently there have beensno fur
ther defections to the bolshevikis from
the army and garrisons and Petrograd
aud Moscow appear to have been the
only large cities affected by the upris-
ing Of the followers OF Lenine. Loyal
list troops control the chief wireless
station, one report from which says
that the overthrow OF the revolt is only
a matter of days or hours. This is
borne out in part by the lack OF timely
advices from the bolsheviki headquar
tiers in Petrograd.
FINNs ASSERT INDEPENDENCE.
The radical element in Finland has
seized the opportunity to attempt to
set up separate government. Gov
ernor General Nekrasoff has been DIS
missed and his place taken by sailor
and a State of war has been pro-
claimed.
