 REPUBLICANS TURNED
 BACKS ON LABOR"
A. F. of l.. Adopts ResO-
 lution Conforming the
 Cs:;cagO Convention
 Coal Operators Flag rantly Violating Law.

Montreal, June 12-Amid tre- mendOus applause the Amer ican Federation of Labor at its annual convention here today adopted a report condemning the Republican convention in Chicago for turning it's back on labOr' in adopting it's plat form.
 Speaking in defense of the resolu- ton, John L. Lewis, International President of the United Mine Workers of America, charged that the laws of the state of West Virginia were being fia.grantly violated" by the coal oper- ators, despite protests of orga nized la bor.
 Despite the demand of Samuel Gompers, president of the federation, Senator Kenyon and others, he said. the state authorities and coal inter- ests had succeeded in preventing such an investigation up to the present time. He urged the federation to throw it's modal support" into the fight to force the probe.
 The convention adopted the resolu- ton without further OeDate ana WILL out referring it to committee.
 During reading of the report pre- sented by Samuel Gompers and Matthew WolI, president and vice president of the Federation, various sections of Republican blanks criti- cized ny the labor leaders were hiss ed, while their critics received ap- plause.
 The report was ordered printed and distributed to organized labor. It as- serted that the labor declaration of the Republican platform, proposes an industrial enslavement and an ab- rogatior1 of rights as precious as life itself" and that it denied the report to strike.
 MT. Gompers announced that the executive council has directed that 1abor's demands submitted to the Re- publican convention be presented in identical form to the Democratic na- tional convention.
 A congressional investigation into alleged "unspeakable outrages" in ficted upon the mine workers by the "coaI interests in West Virginia IS demanded in a. resolution unanimously adopted here today by the conven- ton of the American Federation of Labor.

COAL DEALERS
 REFUSE ORDERS Transportation Tie Up Said
 To Be Respon- sible.

Coal dealers in this city are not taking any orders these days owing to the transportation conditions which are badly mixed up and some of the dealers have shut down on any new contracts until they have their present orders filled. Coal is selling at SIS ton and those dealers who have fuel on hand are disposing of It at that price, but they do not know when the prices may be changed and they are only filling the orders they have on hand at the present time.
 It will be impossible to tell when conditions V i'll be better, according to one dealer this afternoon, because if the transportation difficulties are relieved coal will come into the city much faster than it has been in he past two or three weeks. He also said there is plenty of coal going abroad, but most of it is bituminous coal and not the kind used for household pur- poses.

CAMP AIgN ON
 FOOD STUFFS

A city wide campaign against adul- terated and decomposed foodstuffs has been opened by Health Officer pr. William H. Coon, according to an an- nouncement he made at his office in the Welfare Building this morning. The laboratory division of the de- partment will be extended to cope with the situation and added appa- ratus will be installed for the testing of foodstuffs.
 '-The campaign will be one of edu- cation rather than one of prosecu- tion,' said Dr. Coon. but violators will be prosecuted if they do not heed the warning in regard to adulterated foodstuffs." The three important fac tors of the food situation to be met with are:
 Foodstuffs that contain bacteria germs or decomposed substances and which tend to create violent illness and which cause ptomaine poisoning Foodstuffs that have been adulterated and contain harmonious substances which are not up to the standard fol which the public of the city are pay ing for and which are miSrepresent ed. Adulteration of foodstuffs by the adding of harmful chemicals such a; coloring in soft drinks, etc.
 Special attention will be paid tc fruits, ice cream, meats and othe1 products of like nature that are be ing distributed in the local markets and stores. "The campaign will ht conducted in the strictest sense O the word in order to protect th' health and pocketbooks of the people of the city of Bridgeport" said Dr Coon. -anG vio1ators will be firml, prosecuted if they do not live III the regulations after being warned

AMENDMENT RECEIVED
TO COAL CAR ORDER

An amendment to the order OF ths
interstate commerce commission pro-
viding that coal cars having sides OF
thirty-six inches or over shall be used
for coal exclusively, was received Sat
urday by Earl Del Wood, secretary OF
the Chattanooga Manufacturers asso :
citation. The new ruling allows the use
Of fiat bottom cars having sides OF
thirty-eight inches or less in height for
movements other than coal. The rui-
ing amends the previous ruling to read
as follows: 4..
provided that the phrase GOAL cars
as used herein shall not include or en-
brace fiat bottom gondola cars with
sides less than thirty-eig inches In
height, inside measurement, or cars
equipped with racks, or cars which on
June 10, 1920 had been definitely re-
tired from service for the transportation
OF coal and stenciled or tagged for other
service"
The order will have little effoct upon
the number OF cars used for coal. II ~
intended to clear up the mlsunderstand-
ing as to whether or not cars thirty-six
inches in height are intended 70 be
used for coal or for other articles. There
are practically no thirty-eight- Inch

thirty-six and then from forty inches
