RAILWAY MEN join
LABOR FEDERATION
Increases the Membership of the
Organization 100000.
DEMANDS A AMOUR WEEK
Concession Would include Workers in
All Crafts Throughout the United
States-Move Is Intended to
Prevent Unemployment.

Atlantic City, n. J., June 24.-The
American Federation of Labor at the
closing session here Of it's annual con-
vention pledged itself to obtain gen.
eral 44hOur week for workers in all
crafts throughout the United States
and for employees in the government
service.
The demand was based on a deter
mination to prevent unemployment,
which the delegates declared is one OF
the two primary causes of industrial
unrest.
purchasing power Of the dollar. Manu-
facturers and employers were urged to
bridge the gap" and increase wages
without any controversy"
Means 100000 Members.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
federation, was greeted with roer OF
cheers late In the day when he an
nounced from the platform that three
of the four great railroad bretherhOOds
the engineers, conductors and train
men-had applied for charters In the
federation.
The fourth brotherhOOd-th firemen
was meeting at Denver, he said, to
consider a similar application If the
f1remen followed the example Of the
other brOtherhOods, the ranks Of the
federation will be increased by 100000
men.
Delegates were of the opinion that
with the entry of the brotherho0ds the
federation will back the demand Of
the railway men for government own
ership and control of the roads. This
subject has been referred to the execu-
tive council with instructions to fOrmu-
late policy.
The convention pledged it's support
to the striking commercial telegraph
operators and appointed committee
to confer with Postmaster General
Burleson in the hope OF obtaining for
the telegraphers the same concessions
which have been granted to electrical
and telephone workers.
A resolution was adopted requesting
congress to investigate the alleged sup
preston of free speech and other
American institutions in western Penn
sylvania, while another resolution Sc
verely criticized municipal officials in
Toledo for employing discharged SOL
diers in uniform to perform civil po-
lice duty in a strike.
Won't Indorse Prohibition.
The convention turned down a reso-
luton introduced by Seattle delegates
which would have put the American
Federation of Labor on record as be-
ing In favor of prohibition.
The convention also adopted a reso-
luton changing the A. f. of L. cOnsti-
tuition so as to permit disciplinary ac-
lions against unions which show radi-
cal tendencies. The executive council
is authorized to revoke the charter Of
any central union or body of delegates
which calls a strike or attempts to
take a strike vote which would, if sue
cessful, cause a walkout of affiliated
bodies
Another resolution denounced "de-
plorable conditions in the railway
mail service and asked that congress
pass laws providing for a standard
day for railway mail clerks.
