Votes Opposition to Open Shop for
 American LensshOremen
DENY STEAM ROLLER TACTICS
Gompers Declares Various Commit tees Are Working Hard and Att tack is Unfair-Ffrst Drive Against open shop.

Montreal, June 15.-The American Federation of Labor at its annual con- vention today pledged support to striking longshoremen on the Atlantic and Gulf coasts ''in their fight for recognition and their opposition to the policy of the open shop.
 O. A. Anderson of New York, rep resenting the coastwise longshoremen in asking the support of the fedora ton, declared that the steamship com panies were refusing to arbitfate and were employing strikebreakers.
 Charges Bad Faith.
 The convention was thrown into a tumult when Thomas Sweeney of Chicago charged that the committees had a motive in holding back the business of the convention by failing to report and would probably attempt to ram things down the throats' of the delegates the last day.
 When Samuel Gompers had re- stored order, he replied to the charges by declaring that the attempt to inn pugn the inegrity of the committees was unfair as they were faithfully performing their duties. He assured the convention that there would be no steam roller tactics.
 The delegates then by an over whelming vote defeated a motion to appoint a committee to get a report on the activities of the various com- mittees.
 The convention in supporting the strike of coastwise longshoremen. took its first step against the open shop policy inaugurated by tfanspor- tation and steamship interests at New York, Galveston and other ports on rnc Stuff and Atlantic coasts.
