Federation Of Labor Asks For Forty.
-Four Hours as Limit

Atlantic City, y. j., June 24-The
American Federation of Labor at the
closing session here OF its annual con-
vention, pledged itself to obtain
general fortyfour week for workers
in all crafts thruout the United States
and for employees in the government
service.
The demand was based on de-
termination to prevent Unemployment,
which the delegates declared Is one
Of the two primary causes Of indus
trial unrest.
The other cause is the decreased
purchasing power of the dollar. Manu-
facturers and employers were urged to
bridge the gap" and increase wages
without any controversy
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
federation, was greeted with a roar OF
cheers late In the day when he an
nounced from the platform that three
OF the four great railroad brother
hoods-the engineers, conductors, and
trainmen-had applied for charters in
the federation.
The fourth brotherhood-the fire.

the other brotherhoods, the ranks OF
the federation will be increased by
SOC. 600 men.
Delegates were OF the opinion that
with the entry of the brotherhoods the
federation will back the demand OF
the railway men for government own
ership and control OF the roads This
subject has been referred TO the execu-
tive council with instructions TO
formulate a policy.
A resolution was adopted requesting
congress to investigate the alleged sup

CONTROL OF SHIPS
NECESSARY TO The
FEEDING OF GERMANY

Associated Press Service:
LONDON, March S.-Control of
the German ships is a necessary con-
dition to the feeding of the German
people and the Germans themselves
brought about the present situation,
declares the Westminster Gazette in
discussing the break in the shipping
negotiations at Spa.
Again and again during the last
two years." the newspaper adds, lit
has been pointed out TO them (the
Germans) that the destruction Of
merchant tonnage by their ruthless
submarine warfare would produce a
situation in which it might be totally
impossible to supply Germany her
self with the food and raw mater
ials which she would need when the
war ended. This is the often pre-
dicted nemesis of ruthless submarine
warfare.
IF the allies are unable from lack
of tonnage to send sufficient coal
and food to their friends the use
Of German tonnage will enable ther1
to do justice to their friends and at
the same time provide for their en-
emies. but we are obliged ID tell the
Germans that this is the only thing
TO do, and if it seems harsh. thew
have themselves TO thank for it"
