Convention of A. F. of k. A S k S Conference Boards to Head Off Troubles of Future.

Denver, Col, June 24.-Organized labor has adopted in convention this week a declaration described by the committee on executive councils re- port as pointing the way to true in dustrial democracy. The declaration, contained in the report of the execu- tive council, follows:
 We urge the setting up of confer ence boards of organized workers and employers, thoroughly voluntary in character and in thorough accord with our trade union organizations, as a means of promoting the democ- racy of industry through development of cooperative effort. We point out to employers the fact that industry, which IS the life blood of our civiliza- ton, cannot be made the plaything and the pawn of few who by chance today hold control. Industry is the thing by which all must live and it must be given the opportunity to function at its best.

Effort to Include All Public Utilities
 Is Defeated By Action


 Denver, June 24.-Reaffirming its stand for Government ownership, with democratic operation of the railroads, the convention of the American Federation of Labor directed its executive council to draw up proposed legislation designed to give the workers, through Government regulation, equal rights and privileges with capital in organized enterprises.
 The convention sustained the action of the resolutions committee in striking out of the resolution phrase that would have put organized labor on record as de- claring for Government control and dem- ocratic operation of ''all industries organ ized under corporate grants and privi- leges."
 In the debate on the railroad question, answering criticisms of Fred Hewitt, chairman of the machinists delegation, that the executive council had not taken desired action to bring about Govern ment ownership, President Gompers said : We have gone as far as it was the desire of the railroad representatives Before coming to this convention l had conference with Mir.
