SAYS ORGANIZED
LABOR WOULD RATHER
CONFER THAN STRIKE

Cambridge, Mass, March 20 -
Modern organized labor prefers the
conference table to the strike field"
said William Green, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, in
an address at the Harvard Union
tonight.
Between capital and labor" he
said, there is an inter-dependence
so fixed and irrevocable as to make
complete success attainable only
through understanding and coopera-
ton. 1t is to these problems of in
dustrial cooperation and understand
ing that modern trade unionism is
addressing itself. We do not believe
our common problems are impossi-
BILE of solution nor do we believe the
obstacles to be met with are insur-
mOuntable
1T is not a disagreement over
wages which causes the most bitter
industrial conflicts. 1t is the denial
of the workers right to organize and
to bargain collectively which causes
strike and in some instances indus
trial warfare.

tive bargaining must be predicated
upon a mutually of interest in in

Right showed their disapproval of the
motion Of confidence by abstaining
from voting.
The vote was taken after the pre-
mler had made stubborn defense
of his policy. During it he attacked
the recent manifesto of the French
cardinals and arch bishops, which
protested against the governments

tional laws effective in Alsace and
