ONE B|G UNION CAN'T ENDURE
 GOMPERS SAYS
LRepublican A. p. Leased wire1

MONTREAL. June 14.-Organfzed labor of the United States was ap- pealed to by Samuel Gompers of the American Federation of Labor today to support the federation's non bipartisan political program and to urge on con- gress adoption of the league of na- tions.
 Characterizing the failure of the United States to ratify the covenant as "pitiable" MT. Gompers told the an- nual convention that "if the question was submitted to the people, without any other entangling problems, am positive that the people of our country would say, by an overwhelming vote, it desires the league of nations"
 He expressed the fear that in the political campaign the league of na- tions questions will be submerged in the number of questions which must attract the attention of the people,"
 Tt is regrettable,' he added, "that the question in itself has not itself had an opportunity to be represented for the consideration and determination of the people"
 MT. Gompers asserted that his non partisan political program may be in concrete form before the convention, within the next few days.
 Forty years of experience. of suc- cess and triumph said he. ''has shown Us the way. Demands which labor makes are for services which labor performs and gives to society and without which such progress would be impossible and civilization would come to a standstill. Labor makes demands for a better and higher life.
 The sone big union" he said. could not endure because it ran counter to the laws of human nature"
 The announcement, which was greeted with great applause, came at the close of today's session and was in reply to those given by fraternal delegates, J. w ogden of tue British trade union congress and J. A. Me- Clelland of the Canadian trades and labor congress.

Make American Flag
 World Peace Symbol
 Sec. Daniels Urged

WASHINGTON. June 14.-Asserting the American flag must be made the vitalizing symbol of world peace. Sec retary Daniels addressing q Flag day mass meeting on the steps of the cap itol tonight. called on American citi- zens to turn deaf ear to the ''selfish and provincial pleas" which renounced the altruism that sent the American army overseas.'
 He said that because some Amer jeans had lacked vision and forgotten the ideals which made us invincible in war, the promised blessing of the conflict. "a peace butressed by mutual covenants between the allied and as- sociated nations" had not been real ized.
 But we will not scuttle in the hour of our own and the worlds need" he continued. Let us reconsecrate our selves to the attainment of peace and justice between all nations. Let us here highly resolve that the dead of this war shall not have died in vain but that from their sacrifice shall come new and wider service to humanity.

 NEW YORK; June 14-Either ieal- ousy over a. woman or vengeance for heavy losses sustained at cards fur nished the motive of the murder, Fri- day, of Joseph B. Elwell, wealthy turf man and whist wizard, according to the police tonight, who were fluctuat- ing between these theories in the effort to solve the crime.
 Clues point to the woman theory, say most of the detectives on Jne case. They claimed this theory was strengthened today when 1t was learned that ElweIl's housekeeper had found in his bedroom q womans silk undergarmcnt. This garment is re- ported to belong to a society woman.
 Conviction that the husband of this woman, an ex-arrny man killed the whist expert, was expressed by some detectives. The size of the bullet and the fact that 1t had a steel jacket point leads to the fact that 8 government automatic pistol was used, they said.
 On the other hand. police were re- luctant to discard the theory that Q gambler may have done the shooting. They sought to trace the source of a report that such 2 gambler had threatened to kill Eslwell and in con tinuing today's examinat ton of society women sporting men and prominent figures in New Yorks financial dis tflCt1 where f>iWeli Occupleu x pFDhef S office. devoted most of their questions to "big plays" in which he had engaged.
