MANY RESOLUTIONS DEFEATED AT
AT a. Il. OF l., CONVENTION.

Denver, Colo July Especial Cor
respondence) Upon reading the exc
cutive councils report presented the
first day of the America Federation
of Labor convention, one felt it to be
a great pity that so important a
convention should take place without
submission to it of a uniform progrom
of some sort for the advancement of
the Labor movement.
The text of 100 resolutions sub
mitted by delegates was made. public
in the printed proceedings of the sec
ond submission to it of a unified pro-
gram of some sort for the advance
ment of the Labor movement.
The text of 100 resolutions SUBMIT
ed by delegates was made public in
the printed proceedings of the sec
ond day-after which no resolu tons
are introduced under the rules without
unanimous consent. The same feel
of them. There were bright spots
Some criticize the leader of the A. f.
of l.. and charge them with not lead
every delegate has the opportunity to
at least present his ideas for the ad-
vancement of the movement.
Not only that, but the labor move
crisis in its history. There has been
plenty of congratulation at the con-
vention on the ST endid manner in
which the movement has come through
the CTlSlS InuS lar, DuI HOlHlUB re-
sembling comprehensive plan of
campaign for that part of the panic
period that is 10 come. The nearest
thing to pro. an presented to the con
vention was series of resolutions
submitted by the electrical workers
delegation and a dozen other dele
gates, including j. W. Kline of the
blacksmiths Martin Ryan of the Rail
way Carmen, Joseph w. Morton of
the stationary firemen, and James j.
Forester of the Railway Clerks.
One man prevented the convention
from considering a resolution con-
demning the Ku KluX Khan, although
the delegates seemed overwhelmingly
in sympathy with the denuncil ton of
the organization. He was William l..
Hutcheson, International president of
the United Brotherhood Of Carpenters
and jointers of America.
a bleak feature of the resolutions
was the presence of four or five
pleas from Colored workers in various
lines for admttance to the unions.
The A. +. of l.. is on record for racial
equality and urging all the inter-
national unions affiliated with the A.

membership and the federation has
no power to interfere with the auton-
