RADICALS ARE
SHY OF VOTES
Long on Noise but Short on Ballots,
in Their Campaign Against
President Samuel
GomperS.
[By Albin e. Johnson, United Press
Staff Correspondent

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., June 1S.
Radicals in the American Fedora
ton of Labor convention here appear
TO be armed with arguments, while
the conservatives are armed with
votes. Therefore, although the radi-
teal element today planned an assault
on the leadership Of President Samuel
Gompers, 1t was predicted they would
,Ehaye to take it out in talk. No real
fattempt is expected to be made to
defeat Gompers for reelection when
the time comes to vote, and no oppo-
sition slate has materialized, but the
radicals assert their arguments will
tend to restrict the influence of
Gompers and conservatives In the
federation.
James Duncan, Seattle: G. A.
Strickland Portland, Ore, and j..
Deuttlebaum, Detroit, have come to
the fore as leaders Of the more radi-
cal spirits in the convention.
Duncan announced the chief ques-
lions for debate today were his own
resolution introducing the initiative
and referendum into the declarations
laws and Benjamin Schlesinger's
Sresolution for a general amnesty for
"nolitical prisoners"-Debs, Haywood
and others.
Although the convention yesterday
defeated the resolution calling for a
strike in behalf of Tom Mooney,
under sentence of life Imprisonment
for the San Francisco bomb outrage
lin 1916, the international workers
defense league announced today 1t
will go through with its strike pro-
gram. Deuttlebaum, delegate of the
Detroit Central Labor Council, pre-
dicted $4,000 would strike II ere
July 4 Duncan asserted 10000 would
fouit in Seattle. w. B. Patterson, Of
the carpenters and builders OF Oak
land, Calf, declared thousands In
California would walk out
Upon recommendation of the COM
mittee on international affairs, de-
bate on the league of nations coven-
ant has been postponed until Friday
AFTERNOON.
The federation education commit
tee which has been studying school
systems over the country during the
last year reported that American
boards of education, in "an alarming
number of cities" have forgot they
ARE servants of the people. Unions
were urged to exert greater influ-
ence in the conduct of the schools.
