The second relates to the creation OF

The substance of Mr.. Warfield's OBJ

Five out of six steps toward gov

Presidents Plea for Unity Bears Fruit
ut Convention OF American Fed
Grafton of Labor.

Buffalo, N. Y. Nov. 13.--President
Wilson's plea for organized iabor's
closer cooperation in the winning
OF tile war bore It's first fruit today
when the presidents OF the building
trades organizations affiliated with
the American Federation OF Labor de-
cided TO call off all strikes affecting
government work.
At the same time they also agreed
to appeal TO President Wilson to In
tervene to obtain justice for the
members OF their organizations who
have been striking. They will hold
a meeting in Washington soon when
they will try to arrange conference
with the president to endeavor to
lay their case directly before him.
The resolution calling off the strikes
adopted at the meeting of the build
ing trades presidents readS:
Resolved. That the president of
the building trades department shall
call a meeting of the general presi-
dents of the several building trades
IN connection with the officials OF the

end that the grievances and wrongs
OF the workers on government con-

and full justice afforded. In the
meantime ala strikes on government
work shall be discontinued and men
withdrawn shall be returned to work
pending investigation and adjust
ment."
Hundreds OF resolutions relating TO
every subject of interest to labor,
poured into the convention hamper to-
night. The resolutions are being ar
ranged for presentation to the con-
