Montreal, May 22.-Ten months
after this city was awarded the 1920
convention OF the American Fedora
ton OF Labor, Montreal has with
great difficulty found a building
suitable to house the gathering o.
union heads--the St Denis theater
AS soon as this. bae largest city
in Canada, secured the convention
last year local labor men and city
officials began the search for a su.t
able hall for the two weeks begin
ming June 7. Several trips here by
Frank Morrison. secretary of the A.
= of H., and the strenuous efforts
OF the Canadian labor men brought
no results. Attempts were made to
obtain the large Craig street armo-
ry, but these efforts proved unavail
ing and when ii looked as though
the convention would be switched to
Toronto or some American city it
was learned that the st. Denis the
ater in the heart of the French quar-
ter of the city was to close June !
for the summer months and negotia-
tions soon brought about an ar
rangement whereby the theater and
its offices will be used for the de.

The widespread publicity given
the fact that Montreal a city of al
most one million inhabitants has -
auditorium or public building suita-
Bile for holding conventions OF the
magnitude of this annual labor gath
ering has caused a general demand
for the city council to take action
toward the erection of a building
along the lines, il not as large, as
the Coliseum in Chicago, the Audi
torium in Milwaukee and other great
halls in cities south of the border.
and it seems that before many more
months pass ground will have been
broken for the construction of such
Hn edifice.
The awarding of the labor conven-
tion to Montreal this year has de-
veloped a keen interest in the union
movement throughout Canada and
labor circles heretofore not gener-
ally active are watching the pro
ceedings closely Eastern Canadian
labor leaders predict the union move

the eastern provinces, will have a
reiuvenation that will put the east !

Daniel Willard offers Plans to
Relieve Congestion.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Priorty OF
service in favor of the more essential
commodities Ia necessary to relieve the
present transportation congestion of the
railroads, Daniel Willard, chairman OF
the advisory committee OF the Associa-
ton Of Railway Executives, declared
today before the interstate commerce
commission.
II do not think It will be necessary
10 wholly curtail the movement OF any
particular kind OF business" said Mr..
Willard Il do think 1t viii be neces-
sary for a time, however, to give pref
erence TO certain particular kinds Of
business more important than others
from the public standpoint"
Mr.. Willard pointed cut that the com
mission had TIE emergency authority
under the transportation act to order
such priority OF service.
Another means Of relieving the situa-
tion suggested by Mr.. Willard was
greater cooperation on the part Of
shippers In releasing cars quickly so
that the railroads may get the maxi
mum use out OF the cars which ad-
mittedly are far below the needs OF
the roads
Hope also was expressed by the rail-
road official that the forthcoming
award of the railI Dad labor board would
end the difficulties that have con-
fronted the railroads. with respect to
labor.

Eentatives Of n number of shippers, APP
