(spee,a, Dispatch to The Tribune }

Especial Dispatch to me ISfoNneJ
ST. PAUL, June 15.-Feeling here
among the delegates to the annual con-
vention OF the American Federation of
Labor concerning the record of BenJa-
min Schlesinger, of New York. on 10y
atty measures has been bitter at times.
The matter never has been major is
sue in the convention. for it is felt that
Sccielist opposition is insignificant, and
if the issue were brought to head 1t
might cause false appearance Of dis
unity among the labor forces in their
support of the government. But In the
lobbies of the St. Paul Hotel, the con-
vention headquarters, the talk some
times has been heated.
Feeling first fared up when Mr..
Schlesinger. president of the lnterna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers Union,
voted against the printing Of the report
Of the Federation Labor Mission to
France and England. AS Socialist he
protested against the wording of pas
sage implying that the Socialist poll
ticians OF France and England did not
truly represent the laboring class.
Failing to have his protest sustained,
he. together with other delegates from
his union, voted against the report.
Gompers Stops Discussion
William Dobson, delegate from the
Bricklayers', Masons' and Plasterers'
Union, participated in the discussion
by asking whether the previous record
Of these delegates had been in harmony
with the principles of the federation.
President Gompers declared the ques-
tion out of order and shut off discus
SIGN.
The next day, however, Frank Duffy,
and vice e-president of the federation,
created mild sensation by refusing to
sit on the organization committee with
Mr.. Sehlesinger, unless the latter
apologized for his vote. Schlesinger
refused to apologize, giving at the
same time little loyalty speech in
defence of himself.
On each of the two succeeding days
the New York Socialist took the floor
for a moment to protest about some
thing or other relatedyto the question
of loyalty.
Mr.. Schlesingers friends are in
clined to attribute the attacks to per-
sonal motives.
Schlesinger's Statement
Mr.. Schlesinger's statement in part
oliNWS:
"The international Ladies Garment
Workers Union is ab olutely loyal. 1t
has bought 100000 wor h Of Liberty
bonds and has in every instance sup
ported the war against German mill
tarism and autocracy.
''As to my vote on the report Of the
labor mission, President G mpers has
stated that I needed no defence
questioned that passage in the reNort,
which implied that the Soc alist lead
ers in Europe do not truly represent

Mr. Schlesinger is being groomed for
vice president and member of the ex
ecutive council to oppose II. B. Perham.

Ladies' Garment Workers, asserted to-
day that Mr.. Schlesinger will get the
vote of call the pr gtcssive frees"

City Delays Paying
Liberty Bond Refund
Officials Declare II VIII Require
Another Two Months to
Straiphten Accounts

Complaints of city employees revealed
the fact Yesterday that refund amount
ing to $500, due them on the puchase
OF Liberty loan bonds. had not been
paid yet, although the bonds were de-
itvtred more than two months ago.
Ofheials of the Department of Finance
declared yesterday that it probaly
would take two months more before
me accounts were in shape to make
the distribution possible.
1t was explained by the officials who
handled the loan that the refund was
held up for number of reasons, one
OF the most vital being that the city
workers in charge of the distribution
of the bonds had to attend the gigantic
task outside of their regular labors,
and were given no assistance by the
Liberty Loan Committee.
Complications arose, it was stated,
from the fact that a large number of
the men who had signed subscription
blanks were drafted subsequently or
enlisted and added to the considerable
number of those who could not keen up
their payments. The bonds had to be
sold at market price and caused further
delay. Other municipal employees had
their By per cent bonds converted into
later issues bearing higher interest
The refund IN question forms part
of "Plan No. g." for those who wished
to pay on q ten months instalment
plan in the 1917 Liberty loan. Ap-
proximately 27,000 city employees
signed subscriptions for $1,692,250 un-
der this plan, which called for partial
payments drawn from salaries.

Germany to Raise
Grain Price and
Bread to Go Up
Great Shortage Of Cereals
and Meats Predicted
by Officials
By George F. Steward
iSnecial Cable to The Tribunal


AMSTERDAM, June 15.-On the eve
of reduced bread rations in Germany
the "Berliner Tagleblatt" has re-
markable article coming from the
Reichstag food control authorities, as
serting that as result of pressure
from the agrarians the council is
about to raise the price Of grain OBJ
tanned from this years harvest.
The result will probably be the
doubling of the price of bread. The
writer asks if the government will as
sumo the responsibility for such pro-
cedure. There are other unfavorable
factors in the situation. Many war
industries are reducing wages on the
excuse that the strict control no longer
allows them TO pay such high rates.
Shortened bread 'rations, reduced
wages and the refusal of equal fran,
chise increase the darkness of the
whole standard of life. VIII the gov
ernment not feel anxious and afraid of
the consequences of piling up this bur-
den?
Meatless Weeks Ahead
According to the "Berliner Tage-
blatt," at the last sitting of the Ba-
varian home ministry it was stated
that after August, owing to the cattle
shortage, whole meatless days and
weeks will be instituted. In other re-
spects also, foodstuffs will be extreme
ly short. In forming judgment on
these facts it must be borne in mind
that the reduction Of the bread ration
has been largely discounted in advance
and that people have been prepared for
greater privations before the new har-
vests
