The more conservative branch of Or
the American Federation Of Labor,
closed a two-weeks' annual convention
at Montreal, Canada, June 10. Sam
uel Gompers, the reelected president
of the organization, succeeded after a
stormy opposition from the friends
Of Ireland in securing an Endorsement
of the League of Nations without res
ervations. The opposition was against
the covenant because Of the view that
1t guarantees the integrity Of the Brit
ish empire.
Labor's program as formulated by
the convention demands follows:
Ratification of the peace treaty.
Government ownership with demo-
cratic operation Of the railroads.
Curb on profiteering and high cost
of living with Jail sentences for prof
iteers.
Right to strike and abolition Of COM
pulsory arbitration and anti-strike leg
islation.
Hands off in Mexico by the United
States government.
Endorsement of the Irish republic.
Right of collective bargaining.
Advances in wages wherever neces-
sary to maintain the American stand
ard of living.
Shorter workday If necessary to pre-
vent unemployment.
These recommendations will be
launched against the Democratic con-
vention at San Francisco, with
strong effort by President Gompers

out any specific mention of Ireland. In
asmuch as the Wilson league cove
nant will be opposed by the Bryan fac
ton, the Democratic senators who
voted for the Lodge reservations and
by other anti-administration elements; /;
and as strong forces are working
for modification Of the Volstead pro-
hibition enforcement act, either OF
these questions Is regarded as suffi-
cient to force a fight on the floor of
the convention itself While there are
many friends Of Irish independence in
the convention, it is not domestic
question, and may go through in any
manner in which the resolutions COM
mittee decides to treat it.
Both Republican and Democratic
candidates for the presidency will have
the usual amount of company in the
way of side parties. These are very
interesting this year. Certain ele-
ments among the suffragists are
threatening an Independent party on
account Of failure of Democrats and
Republicans to force a sufficient num-
Der Of states to adopt the suffrage
amendment. Certain drys threaten Ii
party because Republicans and Demo-
Gratis are too wet or neutral. The
vets threaten party because the
other parties are too dry. Some
negroes threaten a party Of their
own and propose to substitute William
Hale Thompson, mayor of Chicago, as
their patron saint, instead of Abraham
Lincoln. Radicals, each one of whom
is party to himself, are going to try
and unite under the banner Of the
Committee of 48" with much enthu-
siasm for Senator LaFollette Of Wis
consin for president; Notwithstanding
the fact that the senator in all his
past periods Of disgruntlement over
the actions Of his party, has overcome
his disappointment and remained
regular"
Editor Hearst, who failed to die
tate the nominee Of the Republican
party and whose counsels seem to
have lost some of their weight in the
Democratic party, is trumpeting loud
ly for the formation of new party.
Mayor Thompson, who was Repub-
lican until defeated for national COM
mitteeman and until the supreme court
Of his state heaped an indignity upon
him by knocking out a primary law
under which his machine had been
successful, is said to be building
springboard to make some kind of
flop. Editor Alexander Moore Of
Pittsburgh, a rampant Progressive,
has come out for Harding. Senator
Poindexter, who was regarded by
many as the only real "Bull Moose in
the senate, has announced his inten-
ton to support the Republican ticket.
Neither the Harding Coolidge forces
nor those who will nominate candi-
date at San Francisco, manifest much
perturbation over the various inde-
pendent parties threatened. Their at
titude seems to be serenely that of
"the more. the merrier."
