night by President Samuel GompeTs
Of the American Federation of La

Gompers reviewed the work OF
the executive council of the A. F

week with an announcement Of It's
decisions
The decisions included:
Condemnation of government leg
Islative bodies for failing Ito start

tive projects"
Denunciation of the admlnistra-
tion for its amazing kind of mud
ding with tax and tariff questions"
Denial that the unemployment

The fundamental resolutions were
decided upon as instructions to Ia :

paign committee" for the coming
Congressional elections. This COM
mittee will meet Immediately to be-
gin action in behalf OF labor's can
didates
Labor will place her candidates
il the field wherever necessary"
GOmpers stated. There is unanim-
ity upon this point among workers.
IN need occasion no surprise IL there
are in many districts candidates
paced in the field by labor in direct
opposition to candidates in both the
Republican and Democratic parties"
Commenting on the "anti-labor
crusade" the report states:
The organized labor movement is
today the most powerful and alert
defender OF democratic institutions.
Tloyers are seeking to destroy this
movement.
Government Opposition.
There have been indications of a
government policy to aid in this
destructive crusade which cannot
and will not be overlooked in COM
ing elections"
The report also denounced the
government for its stand which per-
mitted the American farmer to be
thrown into conditions bordering 6
on the disastrous. that might large
~ have been avoided by wise gov
ernment action"
The Kansas Industrial court was
called "a vicious principle Of slave
labor"
Anti-conspiracy laws also were
the subject OF attack. The report
declared much of the oppression OF
labor is made possible by those
laws enacted ostensibly to curb i'm
IToper business conditions.
Nothing has been more COM
pletely mishandled than the rail-
road situation" Gompers states.
Congress has been no more con-
struCtive in dealing with the posi-
tion than ii has been in other fields"
The council also recorded its op-
position to the so-called blanket
amendment proposed by the Ma
tional woman's party. which would
place women on an absolute legal
equality with men.

GENERAL EDWARDS, Y D HERO
 COMMENDS BILLIN OF BRIDGEPORT

A Bridgeport boy was highly hon ored at Camp Devens by Major Gen eral Clarence B. Edwards for profici- ency while taking the Citizens Mill tary course, so popular among young men in the New England states. The lucky young man is Eugene F. Billin of 299O Main street, a graduate of the Bridgeport High school of the class of 1922. Young Bi11in is but 19 years of age and was one of the youngest men who took the military course at Devens.
 His work at Devens was of such a high grade that he was presented with a medal by General Edwards and was highly complimented by the com mander of the famous Yankee Y division in France. During his course of training at Devens, Billin was sergeant in Co., B. He was recom- mended for promotion to a lieutenant but owing to rule prohibiting. any White course man from becoming commissioned officer, he was not giv- en that honor which he deserved so much.
 Before presenting the medals to the men General Edwards confirmed the report that he would soon resign from active work in the army.
