MONTREAL, June Amy attempt
to enforce compulsory labor by max
ing strikes unlawful must be resent
ed at all costs, Samuel Gompers,
President of the American Fedora
tion of Labor declared in opening the
fortieth annual convention of the
federation.
Denunciation of Bolsnevism, prof
iteering, the action of the United
States Government in invoking the
food control law against the late
miners strike, and the failure OF
the American Congress to take action
to control the cost of living were
among the outstanding features OF
the annual report of the Executive
Council of the American Federation
OF Labor presented at the convention
The Cummings railroad law was
denounced as was the Kansas law

relations The high cost of living
was laid largely at the doors of the

field the report denounced what il
characterized propaganda for Ameri-
can Intervention in Mexico and de
clared that the Executive council sees
mo justification for Interference
which it argues would be in the in
terests of the exploitation of its
workers, and its boundless wealth OF
oil and minerals.
