eompers Waves Peace Wand.

The outstanding fact in the Congress
OF the Pan-American Federation of
Labor has been the evident desire on
the part OF Spanlsh-speaking dele
gates to receive officials assurances
from American delegates that the
American Federation of Labor does
not contemplate exercising dominance
over actions of smaller labor bodies
belonging to the Pan-American body.
All fears apparently have been put
20 rest, however, by a statement from
Mr. Gompers, who announced from the
chair that "the American Federation

Neither the Gronna bill, now pend
ing In the United States Senate, nor
the Anderson bill, pending in the

dorsed In name, although debate on the
convention floor on the report of the
resolutions committee conferred about
the Gronna bill.
During this debate Fred Fl. Bixby
Of Long Beach, Calf, n of the prin-
cipal advocates of an Endorsement of
the Gronna bill, explained that he had
consented, In the resolutions commit

In the Gronna bill" eliminated from the
Endorsing resolution "for the sake of
harmony and unity"
United States Senator John B. Ken

the next annual convention, after Los
Angeles and Phoenix, Ariz., had with
drawn. The date for the next con-
vention will be set by the executive
committee. Senator Hendricks cleo
ton was not contested.
The only part of the resolutions
committees report that was contested
was the section dealing with packer
legislation, and that section was adopt
ed as reported by the resolutions COM
mittee.
e. A. Ammons, former governor of
Colorado, introduced an amendment to
the packer legislation resolution pro-
viding that regulation of the packers
should be "by law instead of by a
commission, as contemplated under
the Gronna bill, and providing that
such legislation cover all branches of
the industry, including transportation.

button.
After "a side had debated for
thirty minutes, Ammons withdrew his
amendment, as he said he understood

from the resolutions committee.
After the Ammons amendment had
beer withdrawn, a vote was called for
on the original resolution and 1t was
declared carried by an aye and nay
vote. DIR. Wilson then announced that
he would not present a minority re-
port.

ACTION BY MANUFACTURERS

Affairs In Europe.
BY EDWARD W.. PickARD.

American industries and American
business generally are beginning to
speed up" and the more optimistic,
like Ebert II. Gary, chairman of the
board of the United States Steel cor
poration, declares there is nothing I'M
favorable to prosperity on the horizon.
Prices of many commodities, including
some lines of building materials, are
coming down steadily, and In many
plants wages are being reduced, in
some instances the reduction being
made by the employers and accepted
by the men and in others being sug-
gested by the workers themselves in
order that the plants may be enabled
to continue in operation.
All this Is quite satisfactory to the
ordinary citizen, but there is one dark
cloud, despite the assertions of the OPP
timists. This is the coming fight be-
tween organized labor and capital over
the open shop. There are many signs
that the issue will be Joined soon. Last
Wednesday the representatives of
twenty-five state manufacturers asso-
Citations, in conference In Chicago,
adopted resolutions pledging support
for the open shop movement. In the
discussion many speakers declared
they would not employ union labor In
their factories and mills, but when the
vote was taken 1t was made clear that
the resolution did not propose any dis
elimination against the holder of a
union card. In substance the resolu-
ton was:
at is recognized as fundamental In
this country that all law-abIding citi-
zens or residents have the right TO
work when they please, for whom they
please, and on whatever terms are mu.
tually agreed upon between employee
and employer and without interference
or discrimination upon the part of
others.
"We hereby express our purpose to
support these fundamental principles
Of American plan of employment by
the maintenance OF the open shop.
ave urge upon our members 60 Sc
cure by discussion and education the
nctlve support of workers, merchants,
bankers and professional men and all
other elements of their prospective
communities In favor OF American
ideals and the open shop"
Only u few days previously an at
torney for the International Assocla-
tion of Machlnists presented to the in
terstate commission "A petit
ton charging that the larger rallrond
companies have united In an open
shop movement designed to disrupt
unionism, and that they are this year
milking the United States treasury TO
the tune of $750.0O0.OOO through their

MES. 1t is asserted, are closing their
repair shops and giving the work TO

tant rates, and in this way more than
10000 workers have beer thrown out

Secretary Frank Morrison of the
American Federation of Labor told the
committee that the f~ederation's de-
mand was for s%traight-out protection
from alien labor for n period of two
years. He said that reports just re-

showed the total number of unem-
ployed in these places to be 1,S19.372.
