high school to sacrifice his life in the
great world war and expressed his
joy at the return of the others. She

vate to that of captaincy.

ATLANTIC CITY, June 21.-Sam- llel Gonpers wass reseiecttd presideia of the American Fedora ion of Labor today at the organizations convention here and was voted salary of s1o,oOo 8 year. One radical voted against the reelection of Mr. Gompers. and q handfuT of delegates sat while the rest staged a demonstration in honor of their leader, who said his election was organized labor's answer to it's traducers and opponents.
 Second in importance was the adoL ton of resolution directing the ex- eeutiye council to investigate and act in regard to joint resolution now be- fore congress providing for establish ment of a conference of industrial heads. According to information sub mitted to the convention, the plan would bring together industrial heads and labor leaders ito study problems affecting capital and labor and sug- gest remedial legislation"
 Mention of the proposed plan brought a storm of denunciation from the delegates, radicals as well as con servatives.
 The convention also voted to send a protest to the Pennsylvania state legislature against enactment of leg islation, described by Mir. Gompers as '.an effort by certain interests to curb the rights of labor and the masses oi the people in Pennsylvania
 The legislation referred to is a so- called "anti-sedition" bill, which, it is claimed, restricts the right of frr, speech and free assembly.
 Postmaster General Burleson. agair was assailed A resolution adopted unanimously expressed organized labor's "disapproval of the zone posta system for second class matter anC '.petitioned congress to annul this ob. noxious legislation, enacted under tn. pretense of q war revenue measure
 Investigation of the entire posr.i service and rates former rates to b, established meanwhile, was asked
 President Gompers' salary wa. raised from $500 to s10,O00 a year over his protest.
 Secretary Morrison's salary was in creased to s7.500 year from s5,OO0.
 The convention was to have closed today, but because of the large mum Der of resolutions still unacted upon was extended into next week
 The convention today showed it's de sire to discipline unions and centtn organizations which display extremel, ra dical tendencies. One resolution provided for the cancellation of tn E charter of any union which inculcates advances or encourages "any plan t, bring about change in the organiza tion of the American Federation 0 Labor or the international bodies"

 Receipt of cablegram from MT Walsh, requesting that MT. Murphy and his colleague defer their Departure in view of certain developments in Paris, led to an erroneous announce menf that both men left the Espagne before it sailed.
 Later, however, at the office of Diar- mui6 Lynch secretary of the Friends of Irish Freedom, it was learned an other message from Mr. Walsh re- quested Murphy and Trigg to proceed Mir. Murphy will succeed on the mis- sion Michael J. Ryan of Philadelphia ] who recently returned from France.
