what insecure by reason OF MS attacl
ucational League, to the post of secr'
federation officials to secure this APP
pointment for Lewis.
Tailors Attack A. C. w.
Soderberg of the Journeymen
Tailors' Union introduced resolu-
ton providing that the labor of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
should be placed on the unfair list
This was the best this fake radical,
who poses as a socialist, could offer
on the issue of amalgamation in the
clothing industry.
The delegates of the Railway Mail
Association asked the federation to
"re-afirm its statement of IAN ade-
quate postal service wage standard"
There is no mention of militant action
by the postal employees to compel such
adequate" wages.
Child Workers Treated Like Orphans.
In spite Of the enormous amount Of
time and space devoted to the dubious
way of getting child labor ended by
beginning with constitutional amend
ment granting to congress the power
to pass child labor laws, nothing is in
prospect of decisive nature. After
this campaign was widely advertised
as necessary because the supreme
court of the United States had re-
peatedly killed child labor laws, the
report of the executive council dis
tinctly states its opposition to any
change or limitation of that court.
The report reads as follows:
Recognizes Bill Taft as God.
Labor proposes to leave the SUI
preme court of the United States with
greater power than that enjoyed by
any similar judicial body of any other
country in the world. There is no
proposal to touch the strictly judicial
powers of the court. And even its
right to declare and interpret the con-
stitution confined within reasonable
and constitutional limits is not at
tempted to be modified"
This is also a concession to the
Lewis-Berry capitalist party group to
whom Gompers makes this surrender
of the position advanced during the
LaFollette campaign.
No "lndecent" Slavery, Pleased
On top of the fiubdub concerning the
constitution and the supreme court
dealing with child labor, comes a reso-
luton asking for law to compel the
states in which labor laws have been
held unconstitutional and in which
child workers are driven like galley
slaves" Ito Observe" as the resolu-
ton says, common decency toward
children in mill, mine and factory"
Andy Fureseth of the Seamen's
Union introduced a resolution against
the League of Nations and the world
court on the ground that these insti-
tutions were detrimental to seamen."
Upon the same grounds a resolution
might have been introduced against
the policies of Andy Fureseth himself.
There is small choice.
Why Not Can Lewis Ganu7
There were resolutions appealing
for food and clothing to aid the strik-
ing miners Of West Virginia and Ken
lucky, in district II and 20. That
Lewis policy Of collaboration with the
operators is making the members of
U. M. w. OF A. so poor and the union
too weak and unwilling to help these
fighters was not, Of course, mentioned
in the resolution.
The Mobile Central Labor Council
asked that all unions make all men,
bers become citizens and voters to re-
tain membership. Many other resolu-
lions are not yet printed.
Delegates Visit Mexican Meet.
In the afternoon the A. +. Of L. dele.
gates went across the bridge into
Juarez, Mexico, to visit the conven-
ton of the Mexican Federation of La
Dor. You may be sure that none of
them wore overalls as do the rank and
file delegates at the Mexican conven-
ton. Nor were they held up and in
suited at the line by uppish immigra-
ton officials.
The customary speeches OF amity
and accord were delivered. Rico, Of
the Mexican federation, Landed Com
pers, and Gompers lauded--himself
