IGNORE PRESIDENT

Atlantic City, N. J.-In condemning
Postmaster General Burleson because
Of his anti-union attitude and his
treatment toward postal employees,
the A. F. Of l.. convention reminded
the post office executive and other
bourbons Of this recent statement by
President Wilson:
"The question which stands at the
forefront in every country amidst
the present great awakening is the
question Of labor. The object of ali
reform in this essential matter must
be the genuine characterization of in
dustry based upon a full recognition
of those who work, in whatever rank,
to participate in some organic way
in every decision which directly af-
feet their welfare or the part they
play in industry"
The resolution of condemnation
against the postmaster general,
which was unanimously adopted by
the convention, was presented by
Presidents Gainor and Ryan of the
letter carriers and railway mail
clerks and Secretary Treasurer
Flaherty of the postal employees.
The resolution declared that the
postmaster general has pursued a
labor policy in direct conflict with
the presidents declaration, and Gin
answer to President Gompers, char
acterized as silly the right of col
lective bargaining"
Mr.. Burleson was charged with in
vading the rights of government en-
ployes and interfering "in defiance
of law with the proper functioning of
their organizations"
The convention unanimously re-
quested President Wilson to remove
the postmaster general.

DEMANDS NEW TRIAL

Atlantic City, N. IA new trial
for Mooney is "an imperative neces-
sity," declared the A. F. of l.. con-
vention, which authorized the eX-
ecutive council "to give their early
attention to the devising Of such
practical ways and means as will aid
in securing a new trial for Thos. j.
Mooney, and also the presentation be-
for the court of the testimony and
evidence presented since the last
trial, the character of which has Gre
ated the belief that most grave mis-
carriage of justice and peTjured testi-
mony were responsible for the con-
viction and sentence"
The resolution presented by the
committee stated that the president
of the United States "gave public
expression of this belief that the ac-
cused should be given another trial"
The various activities Of the A. F. of
l.. in behalf of Mooney were recalled.
but instead Of a new trial, the death
sentence was commuted to life i'm
prisonment.
"This action, while saving the life
Of the accused, is intolerable, under
the circumstances" said the commit
tee. IF the accused had been found
guilty of the heinous crime charged
against him, the Communication Of his
sentence was an outrage upon the
community. If the evidence was of
such a character as to cast a grave
question of doubt over the acts of
the prosecution itself, then the COM
mutation was an outrage against the
accused"
Anton Johanassen of California,
who has been active in securing a new
trial for Mooney, addressed the con-
vention. He stated that he was sat-
isfied with the report of the COM
mittee.

DIvORCES JUMP 200
 PER CENT IN BRITAIN

LONDON, Oct. 22.-Divorce is in- creasing throughout the United King dom at an alarming rate, according to a court paper. The total for 1898 was $50. For 1917 it was 1,705, with the greatest increase recorded in the years between 1914-17.
 Another development which the government views with alarm is the number of actions brought by hus- bands. Where once the petitioner was usually woman, the past few years have so changed the situation that in 1917 the number of husbands seeking separations was 1,067, as compared with 638 wives.
