SHALL THERE BE PEACE?

In the official report rendered to the Seattle Central Labor
Council by James Duncan, Phil Pearl and Charles Doyle of the
hearing at Portland by the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor relative to revoking the Seattle councils
charter on the grounds of disloyalty and INSTRUMENTATION, the
above named representatives of the council (Seattle) did not adj
NIT guilt on a single charge after being found guilty of all of
them. The executive council also exacted a pledge from the Sc
attic representatives that they would do all in their power to
again unite the labor forces of the state. Yet in their official
report they do not show any signs of burying the hatchet and
attack the president of the State Federation as usual, as the fol-
lowing extract from the report will show:
William Short, president of the Washington State FEEDER
alton Of Labor, made the principle argument in favor of revok-
ing the charter of our council. His speech of about an hour was
a verbal impeachment of the documents we submitted. He
charged this council with not cooperating with him and with
usurpation of his functions. . . = In a white heat of anger he
asked the members of the executive council to Immediately re-
woke the charter"
1t seems strange that the committee would even attempt
to deny the truth. Did not the Seattle council support the Far
mer-Labor party and entered James Duncan in the race for
United States Senator, when the State Federation, following the
non-partisan policy of the American Federation, had indorsed
another candidate? Is that cooperation? Isn't that usurping
sa1oqS 10 oML iIoqBT 10 uoIsIsp9I slBlS sua 10 uorloun1 Gun
charges easily proven true. AS for the white heat of anger"
those of us who know Short have found that he is not in the
habit of losing his temper when facing an important issue.

COMMUNISTS DEFY FEDERATION.

Even in the face of the overwhelming defeat suffered at the
convention of the American Federation, members of the execu-
tive committee of the Workers Party, American branch of the
Communist International, profess to see in the reverses only a
temporary a~scendency of Samuel Gompers and John L. Lewis in
the labor movement G. E. Ruthenberg of the executive commit
tee, defending W.. E. Dunno, who was unseated at Portland, de-
clares the act as dictatorial as any for which Lenin and TrOtsky
are condemned.
Had the vote been a billion to one favoring the unseatng Of
Dunno, these surecure-all artists would still play at make believe,
that it was not the vote of the labor movement as a whole, but the
act of Gompers that Cancelled DUNES membership They pro-
TESS to preach the dictatorship of the proletariat, still when the
majority of the group speak they are not satisfied with the an
swer. Gompers and the executive board have known for a long
time of the BORING within" tactics used by the communist mem
bers who had entered the ranks of the American Federation, of
which Dunno was one, for no other purpose than to disrupt it, but
decided to let the convention act rather than to take the respon-
sibiity upon their own shoulders, and anyone at all familiar with
conditions can see the wisdom of this course.
"An the power of the Gompers machine cannot stop the adj
vance toward a more militant trade union movement which the
communists are leading, because the communists stand for those
measures on which the life of the unions depend" Ruthenberg
says further. It is hard to distinguish whether it is downright
stubbornness or ignorance that leads him to make the above state
ment. 1t is a good sport that knows when he is licked. After
suffering the decisive defeat at Portland, we can harly give Ruth
enberg credit as being a good sport.

Of the American Federation Of Labor
and Of the international unions; and
took specific action requiring all To-
cal unions and central labor councils
directly chartered from the American
Federation Of Labor to affiliate with
all state federaions Of labor.
Far too many subjects were taken
up by the convention to be dealt with
in the brief space Of this article, suf-
flee to say that every action of the
convention was by practically a unan-
imous vote, testifying to the unity and
solidarity OF fhe American trade union
moement.
All OF the present officers were re-
elected and unanimously and Ell Paso
chosn for the next convention city.
The selection Of El Paso as the next
convention city was brought about
solely by the ardent desire OF the ma
jority of the delegates to bring about
closer cooperation and understanding
with their brother unionists across the
line in Mexico, who will hold their
convention at Jaurez. just across the
line from Ell Paso, coincident with
that of the American Federation and
thus make possible an exchange Of
greeting between the two conventions
and their delegates.

markets with the products of free
labor.
The convention re-endorsed it's pol
icy of no-partisan political action az
it affected the interests of the wage
workers of America.
The convention disposed Of ANAL
gamation resolutions by clearly point
ing put that the question of amalga-
nation of kindred organizations was
one that rested exclusively with the
international unions themselves, and
drew attention to the fact that it
had always been the policy of the
American Federation of Labor to lend
encouragement to all practical ANAL
gamation proposals acceptable to the
organizations involved.
Bitter condemnation was made OF
all forms of dictatorship, with spe-
cal reference to the repugnant bour-
geois dictatorship under the Fascist
of Italy and the communists in
Russia.
Frank Hodges, general secretary of
the British Miners Federation, and
acknowledged to be one OF the ablest
labor leaders of the world, Joined HIS
voice with that of American labor
in denunciation of both the Russian
and Italian dictatorship in one Of the
ablest addresses ever delivered in an
A. F. Of L. convention, in which he
declared the Russian dictatorship to
be a theory born in an Asiatic mind
and repugnant to every concept of
western civilization and democratic
form of government. Addresses of the
two fraternal delegates from Great
Britain and the fraternal delegate
from Canada we're also ably presented
and were replete with much valuable
information relative to the work and
accomplishments of the labor move-
ment of their respective countries.
Pledge Cooperation.
The convention pledged its contin-
ued cooperation to the American Le-
gion in all the work being done by
the Legion in behalf of the ex-service

The American Federation conven-
ton, which adjourned its session last
Friday at Portland, Oregon, was con-
coded the most harmonious and con-
structive convention held by that
body in many years.
The report of the executive council,
submitted in the early stages Of the
convention, covered the widest range
of subjects ever presented TO a labor
convention. and presented them in
the most mastery and forceful way.
Its ringing declaration for a longer
development of industrial democracy
throughout the nation has been her
aided in every quarter as the most
advanced step ever taken by the

The convention made it plain that
the energies OF the American FEEDER

the most effective means by which
the interests Of the wage eaTners
