 STRIKING MINERS
LABOR OFFICIALS DECLARE THE WORKERS JUSTIFIED IN MOVE
 AND PROMISE SUPPORT.

Washington. = Holding that the ac- tion of the government in the injupc- tion proceedings against striking bi- luminous coal miners to be "so auto cratic as to stagger the human mind the Executive Council of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor declared in a statement issued after four-hoar meeting that the miners walkout wss justified, promised for the strike the entire support of organized labor, aud asked aid and endorsement for it from the general public
 The Lever act, under which the government acted in the court pro- ceedings, never was enacted to apply to workers, the council asserted, and its use against the miners was class ed as ''an injustice not only to work CTS, but to all liberty-loving Ame1d- cans"
 The action was taken without the participation of William Green, gen eral secretary of the mine workers, who is member, but all the remain ing principal officers of the American Federation of Labor were present.
 The council was hastily summoned together and the statement which for mulated it's action was carefully re- vised and rewritten by Samuel Com pers, and Frank Morrison, president and secretary, respectively, of the federation.
 The council in it's statement pre- sented at length the history or the negotiations which led up to and pre- cipitated the coal strike. declaring al- most in the first sentence that the officers of the United Mine Work CTS did everything in their power to avert this great industrial struggle"
 It reserved it's bitterest words for late comment on governmental ac- tion.

Minneapolis, Minn. = The first an. nual convention of the American Le- zion has ended It was decided to open the 1920 convention at Cleve- land, O., on September 2. The con yention probably will last three days.

 Chairman Henry D.

 The Rev. Francis A. Kelly of New York was elected national chaplain. The title of past national commander was conferred upon MT Lindsley He 1ad been acting head of the legion since the meeting at St. Louis last spring

CONGRESS- REFUSES
 TO SEAT BERGER
SOCIALIST ELECTED TO HOUSE FROM WISCONSIN IS DENIED
 OFFICE BY HEAVY VOTE.

Washington. Victor L. Berger, Milwaukee Socialist, was denied his seat in the House by an oyerwhelm- ing vote, the House holding he was ineligible for membership because of his open opposition to war. Consid- eration of the right of Berger to a seat proceeded amidst somewhat of an uproar in the House chambers and with crowded galleries A detail of capitol police guarded the entrance of the mems gallery. Berger's wife Snd nephew were in the public gal iery until shortly before the roll call, but Berger himself, after alternating during the debate between the cham Ter and the lobbies, left just as the vote began.
 The resolution on which the House acted in refusing Berger a seat fol. lows the unanimous report of the elections committee reciting his al- leged seditious utterances and dis loyal activities during the war, and said:
 Resolved, That under the facts and circumstances of this case, Vic tor L. Bagrer is not entitled to take the oath of office as a representative in this House from the Fifth Congress sional District of the State of Wis consfn or to hold a seat therein as such representative"
 Explaining his activities, speeches and articles. but making no defense, Berger attacked the executive branch of the government and then turned on members as rubber stamps of the administration. This drew from Representative Blanton of Texas, Democrat, a demand that he confine his marks to his own activities in connection with the war. Berger charged that his exclusion as a mem Der of Congress would be cut and dried affair because l am Socialist and opponent of war and profteer- ing"
