A. F. of L. Convention Adopts
Resolution Disappearing
Wartime Dry Law.
WARM FIGHT ON FLOOR
Resolution viii Be Sent to President
and Congress Urging ga Per
Cent Beer Be Exempt From
Eighteenth Amendment.

Atlantic City, N. j., June 13.-The
reconstruction convention OF the
American Federation of Labor adopted
resolution expressing organized la
boris disapproval of wartime prohibit
tion and urging that "a per cent beer
be exempt from the provisions of the
Eighteenth amendment to the Consti-
tuition and from the wartime prohibi-
tion measure, which goes into effect
July /.
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. l.,
1918; the provisions of the war emer-
gency bill. establishing wartime pro-
hibition, and the Eighteenth amend
ment 1t then continues:
Text of Resolution.
Whereas, all the foregoing is prin-
cipally intended TO deprive the work
ers OF America of the means of secur-
ing legally a glass of beer after a
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 IL
Resolved, that the American Fed
Grafton of Labor, in convention as.
sembled at Atlantic City, expresses
| its disapproval of wartime prohibi-
tion and that a strong protest from
the delegates to this convention be
forwarded to the government at
| Washington, setting forth in a most
emphatic manner the opinion of the
delegates to this convention that the
present mild beers of 2& per cent
alcohol by weight should be exempt
ed from the provisions of the Eigh
teenth amendment to the Constitu
tion and also from the provisions o;
the war prohibition measure, and be
it further
Resolved, that the executive coun
Gil of the American Federation of La
Dor be and is hereby instructed tt
convey these expressions through {
. committee to the President of thu
United States and to the congress
, and to do everything in its power tt
preserve to the people OF the United
States their freedom, liberty ant
democracy"
| Nearly all the big labor organiza
tions of the country voted for thu

LEAGUE RESOLUTION IS UP
Senate Probe on Treaty leagu
Brouuht to StandstilI.

Washington, June 13.-With the in
vestigation of how treaty copies
reached New York brought to stand
still almost as soon as 1t started, the
senate again turned its attention 10
the more direct issues involved In the
League of Nations fight.
The foreign relations committee
took up the resolution Of Senator p.
c. Knox (rep.) of Pennsylvania pro-
posing the senate declare In definite
terms its stand regarding the league
covenant.
The resolution, ii adopted, virtually
would serve notice that the senate Ia
not prepared to acquiesce at present

Any Changes Made in Peace
Terms Not to Tighten Burden
on Germany.
FOE ETOBEG|VEN 15DAYS
5olshevism Again Menaces Several
European Countries - Poland ls
Threatened From Austria,
Where Red Peril Increases.

Welmar, June 13.-The national
assembly has been called to meet
here to discuss and study the Al
He'd answer to the German coun-
terproposals.
I'VE are still in office and we
will stick because il Is our duty to
save the German people," Gus
tave Noske, minister Of defense,
declared at the meeting OF the ma.
jority socialist party.
Paris, June 13-There Is an evil
dent impression in Paris that the Al
lied reply to the German counterpro-
posals, which probably will be ready
in day of two, will refuse the German
request for important alterations In
the terms OF peace. The Germans will
be given five days I'm which to make
up their minds as to their course. Thus
final action on the treaty may be ex-
pected on or about June Is.
While the Council OF Four may
grant some minor concessions II ap-
pears that there are to be no changes
that will materially tighten the burden
placed on the enemy by the treaty pre-
sented May Z.
Germans Withdrawing.
A dispatch from CoblenZ tells OF the
Germans withdrawing all material
from territories east OF the Allied
bridgeheads and says that armed Ger
man forces also have retired consid-
cradle distance east of the ground held
by the Allies on the east bank OF the
Rhine.
That there is a disposition on the
part of the German civilian population
to be prepared for an Allied advance
into Germany also Is indicated.
Boishevism Menaecs Again.
The menace Of Bolshevism In Cen
trail Europe has again assumed pro-
portions which cause concern In Peace
conference circles. The success of the
Hungarian soviet army against the
Czecho- -Slovaks, the military reverse
suffered by the Kolchak forces In
southeastern Russia and the danger OF
Austria passing under Bolsheyik con-
troll have brought matters to stage
where there is no disposition In OFF,
cial circles to minimize the danger.
Poland, hemmed In by Bolshevism
on the east and south and hard
pressed by the Germans on the west
is saN also to be potentially threaten
ed from the direction OF Austria.
Peacemakers Back clemencesu.
Advices indicate that the Peace con
ference has decided to back up the
demand made upon Bella Kun by Pre-
mier Clemenceau, president of the con
| ference, who wired the Hungarian so
Wet governments foreign minister to
cease hostilities against the Czecho
| Slovaks.
The formation of centralized or
ganization for the control OF interna
tional economic affairs during the peri
cd OF reconstruction after the war II
being considered by the Council o
Four There appears to be some di
yergence of opinion relative to the de
tails of the plan but 1t seems probable
that survey of the needs Of European
nations relative to raw materials AM
credits will soon be taken so that ther'
may be a definite idea of the necessi
ties of the situation which must b.
passed through before the world ma.
be said to have returned to a peac
basis.

Conrad v. Dyeman imperial High
Priest Of Shriners.

Indianapolis, June 13.-Conrad ".
Dyeman Of Brooklyn was elected i'm
perial high priest of the Ancient
Arabic Order, Mystic Shrine. at the
annual election Of the imperial coun-
Gil here. His selection upset the rou-
tine Of the election because 1t has
been the custom to elevate the OFF,
GERS one station each year. John J..
Jones of Oklahoma City, the imperial
oriental guide for the past year,
would have become the high priest
under that arrangement.

Standstill for the present, according to
]. H. Eckford, departmental supervisor
Of personnel. About four hundred
wearers of the BED Triangle remain in
the six states composing this depart
ment, more than six hundred having
been released since the signing Of the
Arnaistice. 1t is believed that, with
AAe 0umerous camps in the department
demobilized down to practically the
smallest possible working force, cou-
pied with the demands of the regular
army men and the returning soldiers
from overseas. there will be a need for
at least four hundred secretaries for
at least several weeks.
Seventy secretaries are serving the
towns and outposts along the Mexican
border, this phase of Y. M. G. A. ac-
tivity having been materially enlarged
since the armistice. Apparently 1000
miles Of border territory is now being
covered, the greater part Of it by itin-
Grants In light delivery cars, in which
the secretaries carry full supply Of
books. stationery, portable motion pic
,fure machines, athletic equipment. In
a number of the isolated villages where
troops are stationed the Y. M. G. A.
lhut Is the only entertainment feature
.nnd the soldiers share their privileges
with the civilian populations. Every
border outpost is now being reached
by the Y" men, and the work will con-
sfinue ms long as there are soldiers to
serve.
