SANE TIME HARDING URGES PASSAGE
Convention Also Voted to Send
Protest Against Passage of
Measure to Senate and
House Leaders
tRy The AssooIatod Pressl

CINCINNATI. June 1s.-Unpuallfied
condemnation of the ship subsidy bin was
voted unanimously today by the delegates
at the American Federation of Labor con-
vention, almost simultaneously with
President Harding's dispatch of letter
asking congress to pass the measure
under threat OF an extra session The
convention also voted to send protest
against passage of the bill to senate and
house leaders.
The bin was termed BY the resolution
adopted by the convention as a cum
ningly devised scheme to enrich certain
classes OF so-called American ship own
ers at the expense Of the truly American
tax payer and also to provide patronage
which is certain to be used for purely
political purposes" the resolution con-
cluded with the statement that the bill
was condemned as inimical TO the pub
lio interest and particularly destructive
to the nations hopes for sea power
The action by the delegates was their
first attack on the Harding administra-
tion. which It was indicated by the fed
eration's executive council report would
be the brunt OF other attacks during the
two weeks convention. Interest also
csntered in the first movement for a
contest of membership on the fedora
tion's executive council. Joseph A.
Franklin. president of the Boilermaker' 8
union, announced his candidacy for
treasuerer, opposing Daniel Tobin. pres
identsaf the teamsters' union, who is &
candidate for reelection.
Mr.. Frankiin's announcement came af-
ter a meeting of the chiefs Of eleven rail
,,ntonR which control almost one third Of
the convention vote. and the candidacy
OF Mr.. Franklin was regarded as a
movement to give the rail- organization
representative on the council. No
claim OF strength was made by Mr..
Franklin, but he and his friends began
a campaign that win end on the last
day OF the convention. almost fort
night away.
