Organized Labor
Report Criticizes
Union Regulation

Cincinnati, June 2G-OBy 4. PD-
Industrial fcudalism supported by DO
litical bureaucracy seems to have
made its way into the White House,
declared the report today of the spe-
clal policy committee Of the American
Federation of Labor in setting forth
orga nizcd labor's stand against the
Kansas Industry court and other pro-
Nlsionai proposals for compulsory
submission of labor disputes to state
tribunals. President Earding's declar-
alton to congress last December sug-
costing regulation of labor unions
prompted the committees criticism.
The report was made public today
as an aftermath of the federatiOn's
AND convention which in adjourn
ing yesterday ordered that unfinished
committee reports should be included
in the convention proceedings, mas
much as they were not subject to dis
! pute. This action, it was announced,
was tantamount to adoption, for the
convention directed the reports should
| pc referred to the fCdcration's cXecu-
tive council for action, If any were
necessary.
The special committee considered
the Kansas Industrial law, the Color
ado industrial law, the Colorado in
dustrial commission law, compulsory
incorporation Of trade unions, Pres
ident lardinc's suggestion OF regula-
ton. and the attempt to pass the
! Euell- Miller bill in New York.

of conspiracy to the whole trade union
movement ana thus to prevent the

application Of the principles of organ

Gamers. Whatever else may be said
Of the Kansas law. the facts remain

moved by anti s. Ike legislation any
moro effectively than coal can be dug
, by Injunction"
! Congress was subjected to criticism
! by supplemental report OF the legs-

quently been evidenced on remedial

Rather than spend our efforts
TRYING TO change the attitude of the
present congress said the report
I'VE should endeaVor to change its
! personnel. Now is the opportune
time to do So There are at least 20
I congressional districts now repre-
scented by men who are not in accord
with our legislative program and
who are generally hostile to our OBJ

might be elected. What we need is
realization on the part of organ-
lied wage earners that seats in con-
gress do not belong by divine right

his whistle again and the band re-
turned to their hall to the strains OF

1t would be impossible to name all
those whose efforts contributed to
the success of the great occasion. City
