should be cancelled or abridged.
Methods Still Incomplete.

Arguments for and against the
proposal are discussed at considerable
length, Mr.. Ralston giving it as his
opinion that, coupled with judicial re
forms there should go hand in hand
the initiative and referendum, pro-
portional representation and the pre-
ferential ballot without which he says
methods of attaining justice will
lack much of completeness.
This section of the report closes
with the statement that the writer
is convinced that in this subject the
executive council has had before it
'one of the gravest fundamental ques-
tons with which we will have to
deal-the preservation of truly dem
ocratic government against what has
often been called the 'aristocracy of
the robe"
Considerable attention is devoted
by the report to labor legislation. 1t is
said that some rule should be adopt
ed in congress which would prevent
obstructive legislation methods. The
report lists among the measures stall
ed by the "weary waste of worthless
words" in the last congress and in
which labor was especially Interested,
the appropriation bills for the war
labor board, United State employment
agnecy, women in industrial service,
working conditions service and inves-
tigation and inspection service.
Measures Advocated.
The executive council suggests that
the convention authorize the printing
and wide circulation of a list of
measures in which the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is interested among
which are the bill forfidding immigra-
ton for four years during the period
of industrial reconstruction, bill for
an old age retirement system for fed
eral employees in the classified service,
bill providing minimum wage of
three dollars a day for federal en-
ployes, Secretary Lanes bill to fur
nish lands for soldiers and sailors, a
bill to give states the same power
over products of convict labor from
other states as they exercise over the
products of convict labor from their
own prisons, industrial vocational ed
ucation for persons crippled in indus
try, increased pay for teachers and
education bills designed to end dull
illiteracy in the United States.
Appropriations for the department
of labor are discussed at some length
1t is stated in the report that con-
gress in granting meager funds to
that department "has failed to inter
pref correctly the spirit and trend Of
present day development" especially
Eat time when there is worldwide
recognition of the fundamental i'm
portance of industrial problems"
"We maintain" the report contin-
ues, that the Importance of the in
terests at issue and the faithful, 10y
al service the workers have given the
government and society, have earned
for US the right to fair consideration
in the expenditure of national funds.

PEACE TO BRING
ROSY FUTURE TO
LABOR WORLD

ATLANTIC CITY, June 9.-(By
Associated Press -Importan pro,
jects for the advancement of labor
and improvement of working condi-
tons, as well as comprehensive out
lines of what has been accomplished
in labor's behalf during the last year
are set forth in the report of the ex-
ecutive council of the American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor, submitted today to
the officers and delegates attend
ing the opening session of the thirty
ninth annual convention.
The advent of peace is taken by
the council to hold out bright pros
poets for labor. Of the peace treaty
itself, the labor executives forming
the council after endorsing the ''tri-
umph of freedom and justice and de-
mocracy as eXemplified in the cove
nant of the League of Nations" says
that the labor sections are a COM
promise, but that it must, however,
''be source of deepest satisfaction
to the American working people to
know that the American position and
the American declarations are pre-
scented for insertion in the treaty
ranked above all others in point of
actual and practical application in
the lives of the working people. What
ever of compromise was made because
of the claims that other nations Of
the world could not pledge themselves
to an immediate and definite ac-
ceptance of the standards maintained
by the American labor movement as
the established practices of our day"
To Safeguard Right.
Foremost among the matters sub
mitted by the council to the conven-
ton are suggestions dealing with leg
islation to prevent any invasion of
the rights and prerogatives of the leg
islative branch of our government by
the judiciary"
The report of the council on this
subject was made in accordance with
resolution adopted by the st. Paul
convention In that resolution the
council was ordered to study the sue
cessive steps which have been taken
by our federal and supreme courts
through which, without constitutional
authority and in opposition of the
action of the constitutional conven-
ton they laid hold upon power which
they now exercise"
The study has been partially COM
pleted and contains remedial sugges-
tons made by Jackson H. Ralston,
attorney of the American Federation
of Labor. Three propositions are sub
mitted in the report for the consid-
Grafton of the convention, each pro-
posing that authority of the supreme
court to pass upon acts of congress
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1919-06-09

We recommend that congress be
advised that it is the earnest desire
of the organized labor movement and
of all America5s workers that the de-
partment of labor be provided with
adequate funds for performing the
important work which devolves upon
it."
X For u. S. Ownership of Roads.
The council recommends to the con-
vention the Endorsement of govern
ment ownership Of railroads, after
setting forth in great detail various
suggestions about railroads from diff.
| ferent sources.
Discussing what is called the meat
packing monopoly" the council quo
ted the report of the federal trade
commission to President Wilson and
said that hearings by the house inter
state commerce committee Seemed
to show conclusively the existence of
a combination which not only controls
and regulates the prices of beef,
lambs and other meat, but also eggs,
butter, poultry, cheese, rice, fish, can
ned goods of all descriptions, leather
and wool" 1t is then stated that inso-
far as "this combination restricts the
SUD ply and enhances the cost of
these necesaries, the laboring people
of the country are adversely affected
and the matter becomes one of vital
concern to the American Federation
of Labor
1t is charged in the report that the
packers during the war shortage of
leather, when it was difficult to fur
r'sh Sfoes for our soldiers hoardct
such quantities of hides that it was
impossible to find proper storage
room for them. The development of
Armour and Company is discussed
at length, but no definite recommen-
daticcs are made by the executive
council
r. Of sketches are gi 'e1 by the
council of the progress of legisla-
ton dealing with tax exemption for
co-operatives, national war housing,
proposed amendments to the seamans
bill, initiative and referendum, con-
Wet labor. workmen's com .ersat;on
government employees, payments and
privileges for soldiers and war work
ers, wheat price, excessive public bor-
rowage, mot on picture censorship,
