Union Presidents in Con
ference in Washington
Urge Redress Through
Existing Parties.
Advise Stamping Out Of
Radicals; Condemn Use
of Injunction in Coal
Strike and Wage Basis.

Washington, Dec. ia declaration
of principles was adopted here by the
conference of presidents of labor unions
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor. It calls upon all workers to
seek redress Of their grievances by 20
litical pressure, presumably through ex-
listing parties, as no mention is made of
a labor party.
Issues which face union labor require
unity of effort if industrial tyranny il
to be avoided the declaration said 1t
dcnounces the use of injunction proceed
ings in the mine strike and criticizes the
usurpation of unconstitutional authority
by the judiciary. The declaration had the
approval of Samuel Gompers, president
of the American Federation of Labor.
Numerous resolutions were introduced
and many attempts were made to change
the draft without success.
Demand r. r. Retention TIL 1922.
Radical activities were condemned by
the conference, and workers we're urged
to aid in stamping out obstructive ele-
ments" in their own ranks.
At the same time, dangers that lie on
the other side were noted, for powerful
forces are seeking more and more to
infringe upon the rights Of the wage
earners and deny to them the right to
cease work, the declaration said
1.-THE perversion and abuse of the writ
of injunction" was enumerated among
these.
l The declaration urged congress to
Denact legislation retaining the railroads
under federal control for "at least two
years after January 1, 1920" to permit
detailed study of the situation and save
the country another increase in trans
portation rates.
Denounce Anti-Strike Bill.
The fixing of wages on a cost Of liv
ing basis was strongly disapproyed by
the conference.
That idea is pernicous and intoler-
able" the declaration said. ut means
putting progress in chains and liberty IN
fetters. 1t means fixing a standard Of
life and liberty which must remain fixed.
The anti strike provisions of the Cum
Minis railroad bill were described as 'cs
tablishing. by legislation, involuntary
servtude.'
While labor has shown to the world
the faults of its opponents, it has over
looked none of it's own, the declaration
said. II Is fully conscious of its duty
and desires that its increased productiv
ity be used for service and not alone for
profits"

'.iabs'
"a gridon dinner is not the place for
that sort of thing
There amt no place where it's more
