ORGANIZED LABOR SEEKS THEIR
AID IN RECONSTRUCTION
PROGRAM.
CLAIM INTERESTS The SAFE
Declaration Of Principles Adopted
Which Makes Direct Appeal to
Conservative Elements Of
All Glasses.

Washington.-The American Fedora
tion of Labor officials made another
effort to establish relations with farm
ers' organizations, the federation's Co
operation committee" appointed at the
Atlantic City convention, meeting here
with representatives of several farm
ers' groups.
While only. one delegate from a
farm organization participated in the
first day of the federation's recon
struction conference" it was under
stood the invitations sent by the COM
mittee for another meeting were more
cordially received. Federation Off
cials declined to discuss the confer
ence. saying that the committee would
make report of the executive council
of the organization.
In view of the declaration Of prin-
ciples adopted by the conference, it
was generally believed in labor quar-
ters that the co operation committee
had made greater progress toward a
common ground on which to meet the
farmers representatives than has any
previous union group Organized la
Dor was declared by several spokes-
men to be anxious to get organized
farmers in the fold for the campaign
which the workers plan to wage in
the forthcoming election.
In this contention the statements
made in the declaration, adopted by
the conference. appealing to "all of
those who contribute to society to
unite in furtherance of the principles, !"
were explained by labor leaders to
mean that organized labor must be
Joined by the producing classes If
its victory is to be complete" These
leaders asserted that the problems
faced by organizer laDor are as much
the problems of the agriculturist class,
because they are both political and
economic.
Every pressure is being brought to
bear on the farmer groups to line
them up for labor's programme, it
was indicated at federation labor head
quarters. Efforts will be madea to
show the farmers, II was said, that
the conferences declaration against
radicalism means as much to the till
er of the soil as to the Industrial
worker, and that the organized aid of
the country worker is needed in the
fight against "autocratic control and
monopolistic maneuvering of the ma
tion's raw supplies"

M'NARY ELL PASSES SENATE
WITHOUT RECORD VOTE
GOES TO HOUSE.
TO RETAIN CONTROL A YEAR
Massachusetts Legislature Favors An
Embargo on Exports, But Such
Would Violate Agreement
After Cuban Crop.

Washington.--The McNary bill, un'
der which government control Of sugar
would be continued another year, was
passed by the Senate and sent to the
House.
There was no record vote and Sen
ators Ransdell and Gay of Louisiana,
who led the opposition, made no
further effort to prevent a vote. SEN
ator Cay made brief address in OPP
position, ending the fight OF several
days against the measure.
Purchase and sale by the United
States sugar equalization board both
of foreign and domestic sugar is au-
thcrized by the bill, which would en-
power but not direct the president to
COZ. .tinue the board until Dec. 81. 1920,
il found necessary for the public
good, ard to secure fair prices and
equal distribution The bill specifi-
cally provides, however, that produc-
ers. refiners and distributors of sugar
shall not be licensed, as has been the
practice under the Lever food control
act.
Under the bill the boards control
over domestic sugar would be limited
L to Sept 80. 1920, when the beet and
cane -eropssia isis eountFy come in.
The sugar situation was also dis
cussed in the House, Representative
Treadway, republican, of Massachu-
setts, presented a resolution of the
Massachusetts Legislature urging
Congress to place an embargo on
sugar exports, but Chairman Ford
ney, of the House ways and means
committee declared an embargo would
violate an agreement made by the
sugar equalization board with Great
Britain and France
mo sugar grown in this country is
exported" Mr.. Fordney said, explain-
ing that the Cuban sugar was re-ex.
ported after being refined here
Urging action by Congress directing
the sugar board to buy Cuban sugar
now, Mr.. Fordney predicted that with.
out such legislation and government
price control the prices of sugar will

locals of the union by international
officials instructing the men to return

Operators predicted full resumption
of operations Friday and shipment OF
coal from the mines beginning Mon

Miners, operators and government
officials alike were highly gratified
over the settlement and all sides ap-
peared confident of final satisfac-
tory settlement of the fight by the
commission.
The action ends a tieup of the coal
industry of more than five weeks du-
ration and one which was more far
reaching in it's effects than any other
in the history of the country. AS a
result of the strike, the country was
fast approaching a complete shutdown
Of industry.
The decision Of the miners came
after many hours of debate, in which
the radical element in the general
committee made incendiary speeches
against operators and others inter
ested in settlement Of the strike and
for a time threatened to defeat eff
forts to settle the strike at this time.
The conservative element, led by

succeeded in putting down practically
all opposition by the time the question
came to a vote.
One concession was made to the
radicals. The convention agreed to
the calling of general convention of
