Hale, counsel for the Public Service

opinion that the one remedy was to
go into the courts to enjoin the en-

Appeals have been sent to Latvia for

HOLDS ASSEMBLY

German Contention Is That
Latter Is Incompetent.

GENEVA, Nov. 19.-The protest by
Germany against the manner OF the
distribution OF mandates for her coll
onies to-day created a marked impress
sion in the assembly. particularly on ac-
count OF the fact that it was addressed
to the assembly instead OF to the council
OF the League of Nations. Germany
consistently has maintained the attitude
that the council Of the league does not
possess sufficient authority to deaf with
such questions. since q majority of its
representatives. form a group OF former
beiligerents and that the assembly alone
is representative OF the entire league
and therefore competent TO deal with the
question.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 19.-The exeeu-
tive council of the American Fedora
tion of Labor concluded its work here
tonight without making any formal
announcement as to what had been
accomplished during it's two weeks of
discussions.
Although members of the council.
including Samuel Gompers, president
of the federation. were disinclined to
talk of proceedings in the secret ses-
sions. it is known that certain pro-
grammes were discussed which by
common consent practically will be-
come policies Of the organization.
These include what was described as
a healthy stand against radicalism
within organized labor and for sharp
restriction of immigration.
There also was an almost unani-
nous agreement among the labor and
Industrial engineers. In this labor
leaders believed they were accomplish
ing the dual purpose of eliminating
waste and inefficiency and creating an
production. The council was said to
have made plain in it's discussions its
realization of world needs in this re-
spect, and members of the council held
that labor's conduct should be such
that no blame for low output could
attach to the workers.
Ta
II was said that council members had
planned series of conferences with
industrial experts looking to gradual
establishment of cooperation which
many deem invaluable Some such con-
ferences have been held during the last
year, including that with Herbert
Hoover, former Federal Food Admins
traitor, who met here with the council
early this week. Mr.. Gompers was rep
resented as being highly pleased with
the results of the Hoover and other
conferences. and with having expressed
desire to continue them.
The plea was made in council ses-
sions here on more than one occasion,
it was said. that labor leaders employ
every effort to clear their attitude of
suspicion which some leaders declared
had attached TO labors position when
seeking reforms. The belief that this
might handicap labor In seeking the
advice Of Industrial experts as the labor
programme is developed was said to
have been expressed.
Unqualified support is said to have
been given the stand against radical
ism. within and without organized
labor, as voiced by Mr. Gompers and
vice-President woll whose denounce-
ment of the borers from within has
been spread broadcast among the work
ers. The statement OF the federation
president as regards radical foreign
labor and the suppression of destruc-
tlonists also was accorded the councils
entire approval.
