LABOR OPPOSED
TO PROHIBITION
A. F. of L. Convention Adopts
Resolution Disappearing
Wartime Dry Law.
warm FIGHT ON FLOOR
Resolution Will Ee Sent to President
and Congress Urging 2A Per
Cent Beer Be Exempt From
Eighteenth Amendment.

Atlantic City, N. j., June 13.-The
econstruction convention of the
American Federation of Labor adopted
resolution expressing organized la
boris disapproval Of wartime prohibi-
ton and urging that 2% per cent! beer
be exempt from the provisions of the
Eighteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition and from the wartime prohibit
ton measure, which goes into effect
July 1.
A bitter fight was waged on the
proposal by dry elements, especially
delegates from Seattle, who based
their arguments on the benefits they
said their city had found through pro-
hibition, but it was carried, 26,475 to
4,005. The voting is proportional to
the membership of the unions repre-
sented.
The resolution will be sent to Pres
ident Wilson and congress. The res
olution cites the provisions of Presi-
dent Wilson's executive order stop
ping the brewing of beer on Dec. 1,
1918; the provisions of the war emer-
gency bill, establishing wartime pro-
hibition, and the Eighteenth amend
ment. It then continues:
whereas, all the foregoing is prin-
cipally intended to deprive the work
ers of America of the means of secur-
days work; and,
Whereas, all this restrictive legis-
lation has the effect of destroying
part of the American labor move
ment and is seriously crippling many
international organizations affiliated
with the American Federation of La
bor; therefore, be it
Resolved, that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, in convention as.
sembled at Atlantic City, expresses
it's disapproval or wartime prohibi-
ton and that strong protest from
the delegates to this convention be
forwarded to the government at
Washington, setting forth in most
emphatic manner the opinion of the
delegates to this convention that the
present mild beers of 2A per cent
alcohol by weight should be exempt
ed from the provisions of the Eigh-
teenth amendment to the Constitu.
ton and also from the provisions of
the war prohibition measure, and be
it further .l.
Resolved, that the executive coun'
Gil of the American Federation of La.
Dor be and is hereby instructed to
convey these expressions through a
committee to the President Of the
United States and to the congress,
and to do everything in it's power to
preserve to the people of the United
States their freedom, liberty and
democracy"

a London police official the other day.
"These men deliberately elect to live

Montana Senator Asserts Foes

H.. Up Objections.
QUOTES PANAMA PACT
Declares Nation Is Obliged to Make
War and Points Out That Similar
Clauses Can Be Found In
Existing Treaties.

Washington, June 13. - Senator
Walsh, democrat, of Montana, defend
ed the league of nations covenant in
the senate against charges that it sub
verts the American Constitution. He
asserted that opponents of the league
have trumped up many unsuppotable
objections to play upon popular sensi'
tiveness.
Answering Senators Lodge, republi'
can, of Massachusetts; Knox, Repub-
lican, of Pennsylvania, and others who
urged constitutional objections, the
Montana senator declared their argu'
ments rounded on theories long since
disproved. He quoted many prece'
dents to support his position that the
covenant neither sets aside any con-
stitutional prerogative nor assumes
any new power in treaty making.
Charges that the league would be a
"superstate" he declared to be mere
defamation" since the organism in
most of the provisions complained OF
could only advise" or recommend"
The celebrated Article Ten, he con.
tinued, certainly would bind the
United States to, make war in certain
instances, but added that the same
obligations had been assumed by Vari-
GUS treaties made by this government
in the past.
ObIigates Us to Make War.
"The covenant does undoubtedly,
should the, treaty be signed, obligate
this country to make war, but we have
