need OF UNITY
Jurisdictional Dispute
RACES After He Speaks
ax ]. LOUIS ENepAHL.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. 13-
Another plea for world trade union
unity was hurled into the A. F. Of L.
convention here today by Arthur A.
Purcell the British fraternaI delegate.
Purcell got the floor again when
President Green presented him with
a gold watch as the gift Of the dele.
gates. Other gifts were presented to
the other fraternal representatives
but Purcell came first and he was the
only one who spoke at any length or
had anything worth while to say.
All Headed for Emancipation.
81 accept this gift not for myself
but as an expression of the solidar-
ity of the workers of America and Of
England declared Purcell I'VE may
have our differences but we will man
age to work together because we are
all headed in the same direction, the
unity of all labor, the emancipation
Of the workers of the world in every
part of the world"
gates showed how far the American
Federation of Labor would have to
go to catch up with workers of other
countries by plunging into bitter
jurisdictional dispute between the
Transfers Union and the Railway
Clerks organization.
American Sort Of Unity.
President E. H. Fitzgerald led the
fight for the Railway Clerks, claiming
that whatever teamsters, chauffeurs,
helpers and workers in garages that
the Transfers Union is seeking, are
so tied up with other work over which
the Railway Clerks have jurisdiction
that they cannot be segregated.
He was supported by Delegate G. H.
Nicholson. President Tobin of the
Transfers, who is also treasurer of
the federation, replied, claiming that
the jurisdictional laws of the A. F. Of
L. gave the transfers and chauffeurs
in question to his organization. He
stressed the fact that his union had
been chartered in 1899 and claimed
the Railway Clerks was a war baby
union anyway and even at that the
teamsters would only take one-fifth or
one-seventh Of the membership away
from the Railway Clerks.
The executive councils report fav.
ors Tobin's position and demands
that the Railway Clerks carry it out
within 80 days or suffer the loss of
their affiliation with the A. F. of L.
No decision had been reached at adj
journment.
Votes Rap at Secession.
The convention voted condemna
