by Associated Press to Every EvonIr


Denver. June %. Government
ownership of the railroad and nation
alization OF the mines are the two
major issues on which John l.. Lewis
hopes to win the presidency Of the
American Federation Of Labor, 1t was
learned today.
ON the other hand President Sam
uel Gompers. was striving for re-
election upon his record of the past
forty-one years as a leader in the

his platform, Mr.. Lewis. president Of
the United Mine Workers. said.
II stand for government ownership
of the railroads and naturalization
of the mines. and other progressive
legislation which win give the workers
and the toilers Of America the free
dom and justice in industry they de-
serve.
II stand for health insurance. old
age pension and unemployment in
surances-all progressive measures
for the relief Of the working masses.
The enactment Of laws covering these
subjects would give the workers ade-
auate protection and reward for the
service that they have rendered in
dustry'
While President Compers issued no
statement supporters in his behalf
declared that his record in the Am
erfcan labor movement during the
past forty-one years would re-elect
him to the presidency
President Gompers has already gone
on record against government own
ership. unemployment insurance,
health insurance and other similar
proposed Legislative measures.
Supporters Of both candidates con.
tinued their campaigns at top speed
today, carrying their electioneering
to the floor Of the convention, where
they went from group to group Of del
egates soliciting support. Little
change. however. was shown in ths
lineups for the candidates.
More than two hundred resolutions
from local miners unions in all sec
tons OF the country have been re.
ceived at the Lewis campaign head
quarters, it was stated, approving tbs
candidacy Of the miners chief ans
urging his support.
The railroad organizations up K
| today had failed to declare which
lcandidafe they would support. II the.
reach an agreement. labor leader
said, their vote probably would decidi
the election.
The convention today began to dis
pose OF a number of minor matter
and prepared the way TO take up Jur
isdictionaI disputes and the question
OF relations with European labol
movements.

OF SERIOUS TURN
IN IRISH AFFAIRS
MR.. GEORGE GOES HOME
First Believed There Was Some
Truth in the Runor that
Eamonn De Valera's Reply
to the English Proposals for
Peace Had Brought About
Serious Crisis.

London, Aug. 12.-Rumor that the
reply of Eamonn De Valera, the Irish
Republican leader, to the British gov
ernment's Irish peace proposals,
which was received here today had
produced a serious crisis in Irish sit
uation were generally discredited
here today.
Premier Lloyd George left Paris to-
day for London and yesterdays rath-
er alarming reports were given credit
for time, but the attitude taken by
the British capitol today was that al
though the terms of the Irish reply
were unknown, negotiations between
the government and Irish Republi-
can leaders would continue under
favorable conditions.
