the Associated Press )-Ther execu-
tive council OF the American Fed
Grafton Of Labor concluded its work
here Friday night without making
any formal announcement as TO
what had been accomplished during
its two weeks of discussion.
Although members Of the council.
including Pres't Gompers OF the
federation. were disinclined to talk
Of the proceedings in the executive
sessions. il is known that certain
programs were discussed which by
common consent will practically be-
come policies of the organization.
These include what was described
as a healthy stand against radical
ism within organized labor and for
sharp restriction of immigration.
Want Cooperation.
There was also an agreement
among the labor heads. it is under
stood, for closer cooperation be-
tween labor and industrial eng;-
neers. In this, labor leaders belev-
ed they were accomplishing the dual
purpose OF eliminating waste and
! inefficiency and creating an atmOs-
phere which would foster greater
production.
1t was said that council members
had planned a series OF conferences
with industrial experts looking 10
gradual establishment OF co-opera-
tion, which many deem invaluable.
Some such conferences have been
held during the last year. including
/ that with Herbert Hoover, former
federal food administrator, who met
here with the council early this
week. Mr.. Gompers was represent
ed as being highly pleased with the
results of the Hoover and other
conferences and having expressed a
desire to continue them.
The plea was made in council

casion. ii was said, that labor lead
