HARDING s SHIP
SUBSIDY PLANS
A. +. of L. Convention Told Bill
Would Be ''lnimicable to
Public interest"
BY WARREN w. WHEATON.
International NeMs Service.

CINCINNATI, June 13.-Ship sub
sidy legislation pending in Congress
and backed by President Harding be-
came the object Of vigorous attack
by organized labor at today's session
or the American Federation Of Labor
annual convention.
Condemning 1t by resolution as
"inimical to public interest and de-
struotive of the nations aspirations
as q sea power" delegates launched
into lengthy debate on the merits
and dement's of the measure.
The resolution. first to come be-
fore the convention, was introduced
by James Duncan, president of the
Granite Cutters International. 1t
asked organized labor to put it's
stamp Of disapproval on the bill, en-
actment Of which, the resolution
charged, would plunge shipping into
the vortex of politics.
Political strategists within the
American Federation of Labor are
maneuvering today to anticipate the
stepping down from the leadership Of
organized labor in America of Sam.
uel Gompers, dominant factor In all
but one year of the forty-two years
labor has been BANGED together.
Among the hundreds Of delegates
In attendance at the federation cen
vention here, there Is no thought
at this time that Gompers will be
defeated for reelection as president
or that he will voluntarily relin-
quish the presidential reins.
But some delegates point that
Gompers, the grand old man of la
hor ~ in aavpnty-t WI yparS old and
while he would not fail to combat
strenuously all efforts which might
be made to displace MIN, there Is q
possibility that following reelection
he may resign within a month or
two.
Despite an auspiciously, peaceful
opening session, delegates indicate
that there is some smoke In the dis.
sension which may break out into
fire of factionalism when the con-
vention is well under way and the
plans of trade unionism are being
formulated.
Today few delegates, from informa-
ton obtained of q canvass of many,
expect any serious dissatisfaction
over policies to be laid down for labor
generally, and while Gompers' long
reign as president promises to be un-
broken by any action of this conven-
ton, the same is not expected to hold
true for other officials Of the fedora
ton.
PRESSURE is being brought to bear
in responsible sources In the convcn-
ton to induce Matthew Woll, Of New
York, present vice president Of the
federation, to seek the secretaryship
now held by Frank Morrison.

Little men gambling for little

Senator Borah objects to the
bill against lynching because 1t
is unconstitutional, interfering
with rights Of States. II the
bill should pass the Supreme
Court it would carry you back
to the old days Of "The Hun
dreds," when England's harassed
population was divided into
groups of q hundred each. When
a dead body was found and the
guilty man not produced, the
Hundred" of that neighbor-
hood were fined heavily-some-
times causing innocent men to
be denounced and executed to
avoid fines.
Under the anti-lynching bill,
the national Government would
fine $4,000 any county dis
graced by q lynching If the
guilty were not found and pun
ished.
To charge" cash for a lynch.

ter remedy must exist than the

Mrs. Jennie Sharples, national Field
Secretary of the Worlds Purity fed
Grafton, delivered the second address
of series of three in this city at
the Methodist church Monday night 70
Ia large congregation of women, the
talk being for women only. Mrs.
Sharples did not mince matters any
and told her hearers lot of things
along the line of vice and white slavery
that, perhaps, was a revelation to
them. Most people know that there
is much vice in the world along these
lines but very few people present last
night fully realized the enormity of
the traffic in white slavery now goilg
on in, America, until Mrs. Sharples
in a pungent, right from the shoulder
plain talk, told of her endeavors and
experiences in her work Of trying to
better conditions. She is doing great
work, sacrificing time, strength and
comfort in the task she has undertaken
but she is fearless worker and has
way Of presenting the truth to the
people that must have deep impress
sion upon those who listen to her. To-
night she is going to talk to girls only
and cordial invitation is extended to
young women to go and hear the mess
age that she has for thern-a message
that should result in much good to
them if they only heed the adlnoni-
lions of Mrs. Sharples, whose exper-
fences along life's highway in social
purity work gives her the data and
evidence to present these matters to
the young women in plain but con-
crete form
