DEFEAT OF RADICALS
IN LABOR FORECASI|
Plans for Next Weeks ResoIu

Quit Shore for Capital
GoMPERs's STRENGTH SEEN
By a star correspordert

Atlantic City, June 14.-Plans foi
action on many radical resolution3
which are to be introduced at nexf
weeks sessions were discussed here TO |
day at conferences of committees OF tbl
American Federation of Labor.
Although many delegates left FOL
Washington to participate in the anti
prohibition demonstration, those con
nected with the important committed
remained here to thresh out importani
points in the numerous resolutions.
There is still much variance of opinI
ion between the radical and conservatifd
forces regarding number of the reso1
lutions to be presented and it is pos \
sible that many of these differences will
be ironed out at today's conferences.
The preponderance Of opinion, howl
ever, seems to be that Samuel Gomperl
and his following will prove too strond
for the men who wish to introduce prin
ciples savoring of European radicalisnI
into the economic and political life 10,
this country.
The few small tests Of strength thtjs
far indicate that Mr.. Gompers stis
controls the stronger party in ti}
American Federation Of Labor. TH
enthusiasm with which Secretary of L.at
Dor Wilson was received yesterday anI
the applause which attended his plaif
speaking about the dangers of Label
radicalism and the duties Of organized
labor seemed to make it evident thai
the convention would maintain its rec
ord of constructive legislation and sus A
gest reforms rather than radical changes
in the government and the relations be-
tween capital and labor.
Now that the resolutions are public
property the leaders Of radicals and
conservatives know precisely where the
lines of battle will be drawn and are
marshaling their forces for the hard
fighting that is to come next week.
Recess Won't Delay Work
The suspension of work today, max
ing it impossible to get action on reso-
lutions because of the absence of a
large proportion of the delegates, really
will not delay the work of the con-
yention, because the leaders are availine
themselves of the opportunity to study
and classify the resolutions which are
to be acted on.
The officers of the A. F. of l.. ex

Brokers' TeIesraphers viii Consider
Joining WaIk-Out Today

Telegraph operators In the offices of
stock brokers have received notice to
attend a uhion conference this after.
noon, The, advisability of calling out
this branch. of telegraphers to help the
commercial telegraphers, already strik
ing, probably will be taken up.
Both the union leaders and the Of
ficials of the Postal and Western Union
Telegraph Companies reported favorably
on-t the strike situation today.
Service to and from PHILADELPHIA is
unhampered by the strike, the officials
say, and strikers are losing heart and
returning to work daily.
The strikers, on the other hand. saw
they have effectively tied up the local
wires and are receiving recruits into
their ranks almost hourly.
Two strikers were arrested yesterday
while walking between the offices of
the two companies with banners at
tacking Postmaster General Burleson
federal wire controller, and advising
nonstrikers to join the ranks of those
now out.
The men arrested were John Dubloff,
Third street near Snyder avenue, and
Rudolph Laurice, 1924 Tasker street.

BEAUTY IN DISTRESS SAVED
Young Women Also In Fine Gowns
and Crippled Car

Both were undoubtedly handsome
And the car was a striking one, of
high colored sporting model.
But one back tire was fat, and both
the beautiful young women were dressed
for anything rather than changing tires.
So the automobile, worth several
thousands of dollars and the young
women, clad in dresses worth only they
knew what, stayed on Chestnut street
west of Seventh for almost an hour, and
an interested crowd gathered round to
await developments. ....
Finally succor came. He DOTTED his
coat and went to the task at hand, the
young women still apparently oblivious
of all surroundings and chatting away
as if on the veranda of the country club.
Then the job was finished and they
drove away.

PICTURE TELLS TALE
OF MEAT PRICE RISE
Then and Now Appropriate
Title for Photograph Made
in 1912

Then and now
This was the title John G. Bowden,
meat dealer, put over a photograph
in the display window of his market
at the northwest corner of Sixteenth
and Porter streets.
The photograph is one taken of the
Bowden market in 1912, before the
prices of meats began to mount sky
ward and before the modest meat store
was renamed "The Palace
The photograph shows Mr.. Bowden,
and his son. Norman, standing in front
of the store, in which what would now
be "a fortune in meats" was displayed.
Large signs told of the prices. The
comparison shows how high is the high
cost of living.
One large sign offers good tender
steak" at twelve and a half cents a
pound Mr.. Bowden sells it now at
fifty cents Hamburger steak then sold
for ten cents per pound. Now it is
thirty five cents.
Legs of lamb at nine cents a pound
were offered. The meat dealer smiled
when he said. NOW it's forty" 1t
was the same with hams. then nine
cents, now forty cents. And chickens
are shown in the window for twelve
and half cents. Now they are forty
five cents a pound in the Bowden mar
ket. as are pork chops. which then sold
for ten cents per pound.

Continued From Page One
Der of the congressional party touring
the navy yard and Hog Island and one
of the prominent figures of the present
Congress. was very emphatic in his ap-
proval of the Knox resolution brought
before the Senate this week. He said:
81 am heartily in favor Of the resolu
ton which was presented by Mr.. Knox
II was a mistake in the first place
to include the league Of nations in with
the peace treaty document, and this
is the best time to rectify this program.
The two questions should certainly be
considered separately.
Favors Some Sort of League
Il am in favor of a league, but not
the league that was proposed at first,
nor the plan which is now before the
Paris conference. 1t is splendid idea,
but at the present time it is conceived
badly. and it is wrong to tie up the
treaty with it.
Mr. Longworth was also very proud
of the record made by Congress during
the last month, and secuted the posi-
bility of any serious Democratic oppo-
sition next year. He continued:
The Knox resolution will bring out
the different factions and issues as moth :
ing else. and in the coming debate on
the resolution next week we shall see
just what the coming issues are to be-
1t is very possible that the league of
nations question will develop into one
of the leading questions. although that
should not be. as it is national and
not a party, concern.
President Passed "Buck"
President Wilson has "passed the
buck" in the prohibition measure, ac-
cording to Mr.. Longworth.
THE President has the authority ia
call off the wartime prohibition law
and it was merely passing the buck
for him to refer the matter to Congress.
We will take no action in the matter
and there is no doubt but that the
country will become bone dry or
July l."
Congressional Investigations are go
ing to be forced through to the end, y
replied the congressman. 1--WE are go.
ing to inquire thoroughly into the wastes
and inefficiency which developed during
the Democratic administration, and
these investigations are not going to bt
matters of red tape or bluff on our part
but are going to get at the bottom o
the cases which we take up.
~ am not able to say just now
whether or not any Of these investiga
tions will be directed at the industries
around Philadelphia, such as Hog Is
land, which I understand was under
the fire of criticism for some time"
