WILL NOT ATTEMPT
TOSTOP A STRIKE
|oFFIcERS OF RAIL UNIONS TELL
FEDERATION-PROPOSAL FOR
RADICAL CHANGES REJECTED.
MEET AT ATLANTIC CITY IN
1e2s.-WAGE CONTRACTS.

Cincinnati, June 15.-Officers OF
the rail unions will not interfere to
stop a strike of the shop craft and
maintenance of way workers, B. III.
Jewell declared today in addressing
the American Federation of Labor
Iconvention. Mr.. Jewell is president OF
the railway employees department OF
the federation.
seThe railway workers are ready
for the test" said Mr.. Jewell, "and
if they decide to strike their decision
will be complied with by their lead
ers."
Without opposition or debate, the
American Federation of Labor con-
vention here today killed resolution
proposing q radical change in the
form of the organized labor move
ment in the United States by the
,amalgamation of all unions into sin
gle organizations, each covering an
industry. The resolution was intro
duced by E. q. Fitzgerald and others
representing the railway clerks.
In reporting the resolution adverse
ly from the organization committee,
Sara Conboy, of the United Textile
Workers, said the departments of the
federation were created along indus
trial lines.
Atlantic City today asked that it be
selected as the seat for the 1928 con-
vention.
Violation of wage contracts was
condemned by the convention, unani-
mously adopting the committee re-
port charging that employees in many
instances chad deliberately violated,
broken and cancelled working agree
ments, during the last year and ad-
ded that "once the pledge of labor is
given it must be kept"
"It has been kept in the past" the
report continued, with reference to
labor's pledge, "and it will be kept in
the future. It is not fair, however,
to pledge to certain things and allow
the employer to do as he pleases.
"When agreements are to be enter
ed into it must be with the distinct
understanding that they are to be
honestly observed and faithfully ad-
hered to by all parties"
The convention also pledged con-
tinued efforts in favor of the passage
of legislation to prevent unemploy-
nent by congressional appropriation
for public works. Another resolution
was adopted pledging labor to an
"intensive organization to combat the
open shop"

N 'CUMBER MAKES
ATTACK ON PRESS
IRRITATED BY EAST
ERIN NEWSPAPERS P4BH.A.
DELPHIA, NEW YORK AND
BOSTON PARTICULARLY
GIVE OFF;ENSE

Washington, june 15.-Metro-
politan newspapers, especially of
the Eastern seaboard, and importing
houses and department stores Of
the country were attacked in the
senate today by Senator McCumber
(Republtcan) of North Dakota who
charged that they were spreading
an "insidious and poisonous propa-
ganda" against the pending tariff
bill to further their selfish interests
and to maintain "extortionate pro-
fits"
Assailing particularly New York,
Boston and Philadelphia news
papers, the committee chairman said
the Republicans had decided to
change their policy of keeping
silent ON the subject Of presses and
were now ready to meet the argu-
ments, especially of the "socalled
Republican press, who have so
capriciously condemned this bill"
Senator McCumber's speech near
ly two hours in length, prompted re-
plies from the Democratic side and
brought a resolution by Senator
Walsh of Montana calling upon the
attorney general to advise the sem
ate whether steps had been taken
or were to be taken to establish
whether a conspiracy existed among
the interests mentioned by the
North Dakota Senator. The resolu-
tion said that if such combination
existed prosecution of those sus-
pected be instituted under the anti
trust laws. The resolution went over
day under senate rules.
Senator Underwood of Alabama,
the Democratic leader characterized
the tariff leaders stand as "most
remarkable and entirely new In
tariff discussion.
'Tlle senator has shown" said
Mr.. Underwood, 'tthat the profit
taken by some of these people
ranges as high as 1900 per cent.
If that be true, how can he or his
committee expect to protect Amer
lean labor with so per cent duties?
What appeal has he left to the
American manufacturer? I say If
his statements are true then he and
ris committee are perpetrating 2
gigantic fraud on the American
people,"

Of LABOR
MAY BEGIN DRIVE
FOR CONGRESS TO REVIEW SU-
PREME COURT DECISIONS.
ONLY FORMAL ACTION AT GIN
cINNArI.-APPOINTMENT OF
COMMITTEE TO FRAME POLICY

Cincinnati, June 15.-Organized
labor indicated a determination at
the American Federation of Labor
convention here today that it would
start a lrive for a constitutional a.
mendment for a congressional veto OF
supreme court decisions and for the
denial of the power Of lower federal
courts to set aside a federal law as
unconstitutional. This, the delegates
were informed, would overcome de-
cisions which labor has regarded as
inimical to its interests.
The only formal action, however,
was unanimous adoption of motion
creating special committee to frame
a policy, which action was taken af-
ter the proposal for the amendment
had been made by Senator La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin. Other speakers,
most of them leaders in the labor
movement, approved the program as
practicable, while the delegates voic-
ed approval with applause.
The suggestion of a drive for the
amendment came in the midst Of a
program devoted to condemnation of
child labor. The address of Senator
La Toilette centered attacks on the
supreme court, which for second
time recently declared the federal
child labor law unconstitutional.
A dissenting note to "a program
aimed generally at curtailment of the
courts was heard during the day-long
program when Florence Kelly of the
National Consumers league voiced
approval of the senator's proposal but
asserted that the best strategy was
to make a drive exclusively for an
amendment to make possible federal
ban on child labor. However, she de-
clared her enlistment "as high pri-
vate in the army that will follow his
(La Follette's) banner"
Senator La Toilette in his speech
contended that the federal courts had
by a process Of gradual encroach-
ments "wrested sovereignty from the
people" and he cited the child labor
tax law decision as typical of the
conduct of the federal judiciary"
Kisses greeted the senator's first
mention of Chief Justice Taft, but
these quickly changed to applause
as Mr.. La Toilette declared that Taft
was repudiated by the voters when

CAR COMPANY
FILES PETITION
ABOUT PAVING
Asks to Be Relieved From
Expensive Track
Work.
NO MENTION OF FARES

The Indianapolis Street Railway Com
pany fled petition with the Indiana
public service commission today asking
the order Of the Indianapolis board of
works compelling the company to pave
between its tracks be rescinded. The
ring only to an order of the board of
works for paving on Gale street between
Roosevelt avenue and East Twenty Fifth
street, is expected to result in a definite
| ruling covering the question Of paving
between tracks.
DR.. Henry Jemeson, chairman of the
board Of directors Of the street car com
pany; Robert l. Todd, president and
general manager. and Ferdinand Winter,
attorney, conferred with members Of the
public service commission prior to fling
the petition.
According to John W. McGardle, chair
man of the commission, no representa-
tons as to what the street car company
would ask in the way of an increase in
fare, were made. DR.. Jameson, however,
stated the increase deemed necessary by
the car company might be less IL the
company is relieved of the paving ex-
pense.
In the petition It was said that 100000
represented the annual cost of paving
and repaving prior to the giving up of
its franchise June 4. 1921, by the street
car company to accept an indeterminate
permit for operation under regulations
Of the public service commission. Having
complied with provisions of Shively-
Spencer public utilities act in giving up
rights, privileges. and franchises granted
by the city in 1899 and 1902, the street
car company attempts to show 1t is dis
| charged and released from obligations
| imposed upon it by the city. The petit
ton says:
plaintiff AYERS and shows that by
force Of its surrender of said franchise
| ordinances and obtaining by operation
of law in lieu thereof said indeterminate
permit, It was discharged and released
from the obligation imposed upon it by
said sections of said ordinance contracts
to pave and repave the part Of streets
occupied by and between and outside
its tracks, as provided in said sections,
| inasmuch such obligation placed upon
| plaintiff and passengers a burden and
expense which otherwise were required
to be borne by the owners of abutting
| real estate, or betrayed by funds derived
| by said city from general taxation"
