Green Sees Pan-American Federation
OF Labor as Great Force For Peace

of Mr.. Green to the chairmanship
Mr.. Woll said:
Il have no desire to press upon you
words of eulogy of the great ability,
capability and competence of Mr..
Green to fill the office which the ex-
ecutive council recommends for your
approval Suffice it to say that when
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor was confronted
with the task and responsibility OF
selecting successor to Samuel Com.
pers, having canvassed the entire
field and having given most thorough
consideration to those most fitted te
fill the office of president of the
American Federation of Labor, il
William Green found the man best
suited to fill those duties"
Green Chosen as Chairman
Following expressions of regret at
the passing of Mr. Gompers, the rec
ommendation of the executive council
in regard to Mr. Green was placed
before the meeting and was indorsed
by unanimous vote, Secretary Frank
Morrison, of the American Federation
of Labor being instructed to cast a
ballot for Mr.. Green. Representa-
tives of the various Pan-American
labor organizations present expressed
their approval of the executive coun-
cil's choice and spoke in warm praise
of Mr. Green's services to the labor
movement George L. Berry, presi-
dent of the international Printing
Pressmens and Assistants Union
who was present, also spoke in COM
mendation of the executive councils
choice.
A tribute to Samuel Gompers and
greetings to President Green were ex-
tended in letter from Chester M
Wright, English language secretary
of the American Federation, who
was absent from the city.

the cost of production.
Machinery prices are sky high.
Every accessory that the farmer needs
in the production of food products
costs an exorbitant price. His taxes
mount higher, and recent surveys
show that there is an ever increasing
number leaving the farms.
The fact of the matter is that
there are great many changes need
ed in our social system before this
country can properly care for the
thousands of immigrants that are
headed this way by the C. P. R."

against the new principle that the de-
partment's social and economic value
be ignored and that living wage
should be based on the amount of
revenue received.
These workers repeatedly pointed
out that they perform many functions
other than handling mail, for which
they receive no credit. During the
war, when the government desired a
census of hogs throughout the ma
ton, the postoffice department
quickly secured this information that
would cost millions Of dollars if at
tempted by any other branch of the
government.
The department sold practically all
of the war savings stamps and rs
per cent of the Liberty bonds. These
instances are cited by the postal
workers to show the impossibility of
placing the department on dollars
and-cents basis. 1t is-as impossible
to find satisfactory basis for this
position, they say, as it would be if
the government attempted to put its
department of commerce or depart
ment of agriculture on a profit-and-
loss basis.
The unions of postal workers affil-
lated to the A. F. of L. directed the
successful wage fight Three or four
company unions" that are petted by
department offcialdom took no part
in this movement for a living wage.

INSURANCE FOR OIL
WORKERS

Fort Worth, Texas-Officers of the
Oil Field, Gas Well and Refinery
Workers announce that the new form
of group insurance, approved by the
last convention, will become effective
April 1.
This insurance will be compulsory
and will cost $3.50 per year for $500.
Because the international officers act
as general agent for the insurance
company, about 80 per cent of the
cost for insurance in this hazardous
industry is eliminated.

Chicago Printing Trades
Stir Nation Wide Interest
With Big Union Label Drive
Open Shoppers" Alarmed

r. j. Tufts, secretary of the open
shoppers organization, sent out not
ices calling for special meeting to
take definite steps for action" Mr..
| Tufts said in his circular letter:
For some time past this office has
been receiving a number of telephone
calls regarding the activities of the
unions in their union label drive, and
in several cases have been successful
in taking away business from our
members where the unions have gone
to their customers direct In one case
they secured the cooperation of the
Musicians Union to such an extent
that the musicians threatened to walk
out if this particular program did not
bear the union label. The order for
the programs was withdrawn from the
shope of one of our members and
placed with a union firm. This, be-
lieve, is the forerunner of reoccur-
rences that may happen unless this
organization takes definite steps for
action.
About a year ago our organization
published the Open Shop Directory,
which was mailed to about $4,000 buy
ers of printing, and before another is
sue is published we believe it advis-
able to present this matter of the
union label drive before our entire
membership. This union label drive
possibly does not affect many of our
members, but there are great many
members that it does affect. and we
believe that you should be interested
in helping your fellow member"

Our motto should be that there

Chicago.-The union label and or

Chicago printing trades unionis on
October 10 last and still under way,
is the biggest and most successful
of its kind ever known in
the history of the industry in this city.

full that it has attracted attention in
other cities, and inquiries have been
coming in as to the methods en-
ployed. President James O. Ames, of

into matters, and Representative

DR. BURTON STILL
 CRITICALLY ILL
J. Of M. President Unable to
 Return to Duties This Year
By Tho Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 5.-Dr. Marion Leroy Burton will be in no condition for several months to re- sume the presidency of the Uniyer- sity of Michigan; the illness that has held him to his bed for 16 weeks is no less critical now than it has been, and as recently as last Thurs day he was close to death.
 This was the revelation of Dr. Burton's condition made today by Mrs. Burton. It definitely answers conflicting rumors concerning the ill., ness of the man who nominated Calvin Coolidge for the presidency at Cleveland last June, and it dis pells the hope that pr. Burton will resume his duties during this school year.
 On the other hand, it reveals that there is no good reason to fear he will not eventually resume active di- rection of the institution.
 Dr. Burton has net been on his feet since he became i'll. His mind is and has been alert, but the siege of pneumonia. with the heart and kidney complications that developed, has been a severe strain upon his endurance. In this weakened con- dition his heart must be watched constantly.
 Reports that pr. Burton would seek leave of absence were de- nied by Mrs. Burton. Even the suggestion of a leave, she said, was preposterous. for the reason that Dr. Burton was not able to leave. He must remain at home and obtain complete rest.
 A bulletin issued by physicians to- day says that he shows progressive improvement.
 "However, a grave illness, such as
