LABOR FEDERATION
 PUTS APPROVAL ON
 LEAGUE IF NATIONS

Republican A. p. Leased WlreJ

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 2o.-I Organized labor today endorsed the league of nations covenant and the labor provisions it contains which, &C., cording to a cable message from President Wilson, have been weakened although not materially.
 In giving it's approval by vote of 29750 against 420, the reconstruction convention of the American Federation of Labor made it clear that nothing in the endorsement can be construed as denying the right of self-determina ton and freedom to Ireland as recog nized by this convention" An amend ment containing the Irish provision was adopted unanimously.
 The presidents cable in reply to one sent him by Samuel Gompers, presi- dent of the federation asking infor- nation about changes reported in press dispatches, follows:
 Your message came while I was in Belgium and reached me too late to make full reply but as I indicated in an earlier message, while the labor provisions are somewhat weakened, it is the opinion of friends of labor and my own opinion that they are not ma terially weakened and that they viii constitute a most serviceable Magma Charta- Will cable labor provisions but fear it will be too late for the convention"
 CabIed President
 MT. Gompers' message to the presi- dent said in part:
 Upon my advice the executive council of the American Federation of Labor has recommended to the con- ventioE now in session the endorse ment of the league of nations in con- cluding the labor provisions Reports | published here indicate that the labor provisions have been so changed anu weakened as to practically nullify their effectiveness.
 "I cannot ask the convention of tho rank and file of labor to endorse pro i visions which in any way have been made valueless."
 1 The message closed by asking a prompt reply, definite information, and a copy of the provisions affecting la bor "as now framed"
 A third message received from the 1 American peace delegation in Paris through the state department in which the changes made in the labor provi- sions were enumerated, also was read 1 lJ IOllOWS:

BERLIN. June 20.-It was stated on good authority today that Persideht Ebert had decided to stand or fall with Chancellor Scheidemann, because ne felt that he must resign rather than sign the treaty.
 Between Herr Noske, the minister of defense and Dr. Mueller, under secre- tary of the war food bureau, the race fer the premiership seems to be a strong one, although Mueller seems to have the advantage on account of his greater adaptability in meeting the de- shes of the independents.
 An independent leader told the cor respondent it was a matter of little consequence who was chosen.
