RAIL WORKERS
CHEERED FRANK
MORRISON'S PLEA
John P. Frey Spoke Against
Government Owne e rship
and Secretary Green of
the United Mine Workers
Said They Would Not Be
Dictated To by Him.

Montreal June T.-Governmen'
ownership with democratic operation
Of American railroads was endorsed to
day by the American Federation of La
Dor convention here after one of thu
bitterest fights on record.
Roll calls showed that government
ownership was endorsed by vote ol
% ,059 to S,349.
When Frank Morrison. secretary OF
the federation, took the floor and an
nounced that he would support govern
ment ownership of the railroads, there
was demonstration by the rail work.
ers and their supporters.
Secretary Morrison declared that he
was only supporting the federation
reconstruction program and the execu-
tive councils report to the last conven-
tion.
I'VE hear a lot of self determine
ton" he added This thought is be-
ing sunk into the heads of men. women
and children of all countries. We have
here a proposition from all rail work
ers, asking assistance in securing gov
ernment ownership of railroads because
they believe their trials and tribula.
tions under government ownership will
be far less than they have been in the
past or will be in the future under
private ownership"
Charles p. McGowan of the boiler
makers declared, "We would be traitors
to our trust if we did not urge govern
-,
structions of our great membership
John P. Frey, who spoke against
government ownership, told the
delegates that in his address yesterday
he had been misunderstood and had not
intended to put the stigma Of made
in Germany" on government owner
ship.
"The railroad workers know what is
good for them" said William Green,
secretary of the United Mine Work
ers, "snd they are not going to let Mr..
Frey or anyone else tell them what to
do" Green declared that conditions
"could not be wores under government
"could not be worse under govern
ment control" He declared that
the workers would be prosecuted
under private of government own
ership in a national emergency"
as long az the workers themselves are
not sufficiently conscious of their po-
litical strength"
When Green announced that the
United Mine Workers of America
would vote for government ownership
there was another outburst of ap-
plsuse.
TN doing so," he added, Eve are only
following the teachings of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, favoring gov
ernment ownership"

father, out of $4,000, which was de-
manded for the return of the little
fellow.
After receiving several letters and
telephone calls from THE Crank, .
Coughlin BECAME convinced he was the
abduetor and asked the police to with.
draw from the case so he personally
could negotiate with the writer. "The
Crank" at first demanded only $4,000
ransom, but later doubled it. On Mon

phone and gave him instructions where
to leave the money. The child would
be returned in taxicab, The Crank
said within "a hours.

he had been defrauded.

are inclined 10 believe that revenge was
the motive. Charles Eller, chief OF the
Norristown police, said he had definite
