WASHINGTON, Nov. 19--The ex- ecutive council of the American Feeder alton of Labor concluded it's work to- night without making any formal an- nouncement as to what had been ac- complished during it's two weeks of discussion
 Although members of the council in- cluding President Gompers of the fed eration, were disinclined to talk of pro- ceedings in the executive sessions. 1t is known that certain programs were dis cussed which by common consent will practically become policies of the or ganization. These include what was described as a healthy stand against radicalism within organized labor and for sharp restriction of immigration.
 There was also an almost unani- nous agreement among the labor heads, it is understood, for closer CO., operation between labor and industrial 1 engineers. In this labor leaders be- lieved they were accomplishing the dual purpose of eliminating waste ana l inefficiency and creating an atmo- | sphere which would foster greater production. The council was said to have made plain in its discussions it's realization of world needs in this re- spect and members of the councli held that labors conduct should be such 1 that no blame for low output could at taeh to the workers.
 It was said that council members had l planned a series of conferences with Industrial experts looking to gradual I establishment of cooperation which many deem invaluable. Some such conferences have been held during the last year. including that with Herbert ] Hoover. former food administrator, who met here with the council early this
 week Mir. Gompers was represented as being highly pleased with the re- suits of the Hoover and other confer lences and having expressed a desire to
 continue them.
 The plea was made in council here
 On more than one occasion. 1t was said
 that labor leaders employ every ef-
 fort to clear their attitude Of suspi-
 cion which some leaders held had at
 tached to labor's position when seeking reforms. The belief that this might - handicap labor in seeking advice of in- dustrial experts as the labor program is developed was said to have been ex' , pressed.
 Unqualified support is said to havs
 been given the stand against radical. ism, within and without organized labor, as voiced by President Gomperl and Vice President Woll. whose de nouncement of the borers from within has been spread broadcast among ths workers The statement Of the fedora tion president as regards radical for E efgnT labor and the suppression of de
 structionists also was accorded ths councils entire approval.
 Consideration was given to methods
 by which the radical workers couis be barred from organized labor. bu
 this apparently was set down as an insoluble problem so long as the fed ieration's bylaws remain the same Ih'
 leaders. however, are said to be de'
 ternlned in their stand to keep rad
 ical groups from gaining executive
 control eveh if the governing body hal irc alternative but to let them carr' \ union cards.
