Charge Labor Unions Aristo-
cratic at A. F. of L. Meet.
Determined To Bring About
Revision of Condition.
BIOL SHEVISM "CRY or WOLF?
Radicals Say It's Just Excuse
for an Answer.
VIII Demand Drastic Reorgani-
cation of Movement.

Atlantic City, y. J.. June 14.-Rad-
ical leaders of the left wing Of the
American Federation of Labor conven-
ton have made known their deterrni-
nation to carry to the floor their fight
for drastic revision of what they
term the aristocracy of labor unions. :"
They assert they will attack the
present conservatism and policies of
the federation administrators. Since
the convention started, altho President
Gompers and the leaders of the right
wing have repeatedly declared Bolshe-
vism to be non-existent within the
ranks OF organized labor. many broad
sides against radicalism have been de-
Iivered
Secretary of Labor William B. Will
son, Gompers and other headliners
have repeatedly warned against in
sidious propaganda
Denying they are Bolshevists, west
ern delegates. led by James Duncan.
Seattle. and c. A Strickland, Port
land. Ore, declare their policies are
Identical with those OF the British
trades union.
Charge Evasion.
when they can't answer our argu-
ments with logic they cry BolshevisnI
and resort to bombast and malicious
personal attacks Duncan declared.
Characterizing "aristocracy of union
labor a., undesirable and as much a
curse as -aristocracy of capitalism, .
Strickland is pushing a resolution to
secure imm ediately a drastic reorgani-
cation of the labor movement
A lively tilt developed yesterday
over the request of the Chicago gar
ment workers, largely Socialists. for
the support of the federation on the
impending strike there. The right
wing refused to vote for its support
and Gompers requested that the reso-
luton be sent back to the committee
for reconsid Grafton.
Most of the delegates left for Wash
ington today to participate in the dem
onstration to be held there against
prohibition.

TELLS OF ATTACK
Congressman Believes Union Repre-
sentative Fired at Him.

Washington. June 14.-Representa-
tive Blanton, Texas. today charged on
the floor of the house that an attempt
on his life was made on lonely road
near Baltimore recently.
A bullet from a rifle crashed thru
the glass doors of his motor car in
which he and his family were return
ing to Washington. Blanton said.
Glass flew into the congressmans face
but no one was injured.
Blanton said he believed "the at
tack could be traced to union sources.
Not only that. but you will find that
the recent bomb attack on the attor-
ney general can be traced to a union.
