LABOR FEDERATION
FACING FIGHT FOR
UNIONS EXISTENCE
Union Leaders Gather In
Annual Convention To.
Discuss Problems Facing
American Federation

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 12-Fac-
ing a fight that leaders of organized
labor regard as one for the very
existence of unionism, the American
Federation of Labor here today
opened its forty second annual con-
vention, which was marked by the
presentation of many issues to be
considered during the next two weeks
and a speech by President Samuel
Gompers, declaring 1--WE do not fool
ourselves into any fancied security"
The issues were brought before the
delegates by the report of the fedora
tons executive council.
"1ve are not in a mood" said Mr..
Gompers, ito have those rights and
privileges guaranteed to us by the
constitution, taken from us by any
subtle reasoning or assumption of
power. no matter whence it ema-
nates.'
This declaration of the veteran la
Dor leader was greeted with applause
as was also his statement that or
ganized labor would "go onward and
forward more determined than ever
that there shall not be imposed upon
our brow, upon our backs, the type
of the man with the hoe
The speech by Mr.. Gompers came
after a program of welcoming adj
dresses by Mayor Geo. p. Carrel,
Secretary T. j. Donnelly of the Ohio
Federation of Labor, and others. The
big armory of the, Ohio National
Guard, which is the seat for the con-
vention, was filled by delegates and
spectators while above their heads
were hung a thousand American flags
forming the hall decorations.
In his brief speech, Mr.. Gompers
declared that organized labor only
asked employers to meet with the
union leaders in conferences for the
settlement of disputes. but he said
a genuine conference was impossible
unless both sides stand on equal foot
ing. The open shop, he added is not
the result of conferences.
Mr. Gompers concluded with a ref
erence to the disarmament confer
ence, asserting it made a beginning
toward abolishing war; and that labor
throughout the. world made the
greatest contribution toward that
purpose"
The convention session also was
marked by presentation of report
by Santiago Iglesias, president Of, the
Free Federation of Workers of Porto
Rico. endorsing the administration of
E. Mont Reilly, as governor of Porto
Rico.
While the executive councils re-
port centered around many questions
that will come before the convention,
it also showed that the total member
ship of the federation is 3,195,635.
Although this is a loss of 110,893 in
the last year, members of the COM
mittee pointed out that it was a gain
of more than 100000 over 1916,
which year was followed by big
gains during the war. Further, the
report told of labor's accomplish
ments of the last year, which it said
was marked by unusual strife and
unusual industrial depression.

CONTINUES
DOWNWARD REVISION
OF TARIFF MEASURE
Committee Major
ity Makes Sharp Cuts In
Schedules Which Are
Approved By Senate

WASHINGTON, June 12.-Contin-
uing its downward revision of rates
in the tariff bill, the senate finance
committee majority made sharp cuts
today in proposed rates on surgical,
dental, scientific and laboratory in
struments, molybdenum ore and
molybdenum alloys and other commo-
dities.
All of the reductions. some Of which
were offered after the original rec
concentrations had come under fire
from the Democratic side, were ap-
proved by the senate.
Some increases in rates also were
proposed and accepted. They COW
cred ferromanganese and were rec
commended, members of the commit
tee said, as compensatory duty to the
manufacturers by reason Of the rec
ent action of the senate in removing
manganese ores from the free list
against the committees recommended
ton. The duties on ferromanganese
were fixed at LIS cents a pound on
that having more than 1 per cent of
carbon. and z cents and Is per cent
ad yaloren on that containing less
than / per cent of carbon
On scientific and laboratory instru
ments the committee proposed and
the senate accepted a reduction from
So per cent ad valorem to 35 per cent.
A Democratic amendment to make
tn crate 20 per cent, as at present.
was rejected. On surgical and dental
instruments the committee originally
recommended duties equivalent.
Chairman McCumber said, to so per
cent. 1t reduced them to 40 per cent
on surgical and 80 per cent on dental,
and its action was approved after the
senate had defeated motions from the
minority side to cut those rates.
The rate on molybdenum ore was
cut from rs cents to 35 cents a pound
and that on the alloy from 81 a pound
and Is per cent ad valorem to SO
cents pound and Is per cent.
Outes on ferro silicon, ranging from
2 cents to cents a pound, were ap-
proved over vigorous protests from
the Democrats, but the duty on many
metal alloys was cut from 80 per
cent ad yalorem to % per cent. At
the request of the committee action
on the duty on tungsten alloys was
deferred until further investigation
of prices can be made.
A rate of 81 a pound on cerium
metal was approved by a vote of "a to
25. This is a by-product of the gas
mantle industry, but Senator Freling-
huysen. Republican, New Jersey, said
the process of extracting was diff
cult and expensive, the cost ranging
from $3.50 to $3.50 a ton. He said
that during the war it sold for 500
pound and now ranges from $3.50
to SIS.
Senator Simmons, Democrat, North
Carolina, argued that a duty was not
necessary on an article which the
American producer could sell for from
twice to six times it's cost. The 81
duty. he said, would mean simply
further price rise.

Pursue Fleeing
Fengtien Bandits

TIENTSIN, June 12--( BY the AS

ing all day Sunday between Chin
wangtao and Shanhaikwan the Feng-
ten force of General Tso-Lin with
drew northward toward Shanhai-
kwan. The Chihili forces of WI Pei
Flu are pursuing them.
Notwithstanding Chang's overtures
for an armistice last week and his
reported acceptance of Wu's terms,
the Chihili commander maintained
a cautions attitude.
Fridays attack found the Chihili
line. extending from the Liaotung
gulf coast to the hills, strongly sup
ported by machine guns and artillery.
Chang's request for an armistice
is believed to have been a ruse to
gain time for realignment of his de-
feated and retreating troops.
