IMMEDIATE DISCHARGE
OF BURLESON ASKED
American Federation of Labor in Con-

ly Adopted a Resolution.

Atlantic City, N. j., june ls,--A reso-
luton asking President Wilson immedi.
ately to remove Postmaster General Bur-
Lesson was adopted unanimously by the
American Federation of Labor in conyen.
tion here day.
The federation adopted two resolutions
having to do with the merchant marine.
One asked the House committee on mer-
chant marine and fisheries to investigate
alleged failure by Secretary Of Commerce
Redfeld TO enforce seamen's act provis-
ions aimed against illiteracy among
crews of ocean going vessels leaving
American ports.
The other memorial denounced bills
introduced by Senator Calder and Rep
resentative Gould providing for repeal of
certain clauses in the seameu's act relat-
ing to wages on American vessels. These
bills were declared to be hostile to the
development of American sea power and
TO serve the interests Of European and
Asiatic ship owners, who under the sea-
mems act as it stands, are, the resolu-
tion says, being compelled to meet Amer
lean ship owners in equal competition
ON the sea.
The resolution regarding the postmas-
ter general, after alluding to President
Wilson's message TO Congress relating
TO democratization Of industry based
upon recognition of labor's right to par
ticipate in decisions affecting its well
fare, declares that Mr.. Burleson "has
pursued labor policy in direct conflict
with this enunciation Of principle and
that the postmaster general character
lied as silly the rights to collective bar
gaining The resolution charges fur
ther that Mr.. Burleson "has ruthlessly
invaded the rights Of employees and has
interfered, in defiance of law, with the
proper functioning Of tESir organiza :
tions" and has refused to recognize
labor's accredited representatives. Mr..
Buleson's labor policy has been "fas-
tened upon every governmental agency
under his supervision" the resolution
says, Gin utter defiance of the wishes of
the people and in complete opposition to
the words of President Wilson"
After declaring also "that Burleson's
archaic and autocratic attitude has re-
suited in demoralized service, and con-
fused and choked industrial processes,

Canadians Are Greatly In
censed That They Have
Been Put Off Time After
Time After. Dates Had
Been Set for Their Return
Home - The Australian,
New Zealand and Scottish
Troops Show Unrest.

London, June lS.-Unrest among Ca
madam soldiers in England because OF
continued postponement of homeward
sailings eliminated last night. in an at
tack by 400 Canadians on the Epson
police station Several policemen were
wounded, one SO seriously that he died
this morning. The purpose of the at
tack was to release a Canadian soldier
who had been arrested.
To avoid further trouble, the police
released another Canadian in whom the
mob was not interested.
During the last few days there has
been trouble in the Canadian camp at
Whitley, where the soldiers burned huts
and did other damage, according to re-
ports.
There is much sympathy here for the
Canadians, who repeatedly have been
given dates for homeward sailings, only
to be told that further postponement
was necessary owing to strikes of dock
workers at Liverpool and other ports OF
to lack of transports.
The unrest has not been confined to
the Canadians. There have also been
protests by Australians and New Zea-
ianders. Some Scottish units, composed
of veterans, recently held demonstrs-
tion against being sent back to France
i while men who had not seen active serv-
( ice remained in England or are demo.

sible.
Aside from being Barre's one public
and official expression of welcome and
gratitude to the fighting men of two
counties, the celebration is to be dis

FRENCH GOVERNMENT SUPPORTED
Chamber of Deputies Voted Confidence by
$40 to 1877.

Paris, June l7--Confdence in the gov
ernment was voted by the Chamber of
Deputies to-day, $40 to 1877, following a
tumultuous session, during which the
mutiny of the Black sea fleet was dis
cussed.
Closing the debate for the govern
ment, NJ Pichon, foreign minister, de-
clared the trouble was due entirely to
bolshevik propaganda and said that the
chamber "must decide between the dem
ocratic interallied policy and the policy
of the socialists, who want France to
abdicate before the bolsheviki" The min
lister provoked violent outburst from
the socialists by declaring that, in his
opinion, bolshevism was lost.
Jules Delahays, royalist deputy, ere
ated violent scene by declaring that
foreign money was being used for propa-
ganda work in France, and that the So
cialist party had assumed the task of
circulating it in the navy, notably at
Odessa and Sebastopol.

While sentiment in the German
cabinet, according to Weimar
dispatch, is almost unanimous
against signing the treaty, official
Germany has not definitely COM
mitted itself on the amended
peace conditions.
The German leaders held an ex-
tended conference at Weimar on
Tuesday to discuss the treaty
terms, on which hang the future
fate of Germany 1t is expected
that the amended conditions viii
be laid before the German national
assembly to-day by the cabinet. 1t
is declared that the only thing
that might persuade the German
government to agree to the treaty
is the possibility of political and
economic chaos in Germany after

Opinion in Paris as to the event
ual attitude of the Germans is di-
vided. 1t is believed, however, that
the Germans, knowing the certain
results of refusal to sign, viii in
the end agree to the terms. Those
familiar with the changes in the
treaty say the German leaders can,
