DISAPPROVES SUCH STRIKES
Declares in Such Cases Real Issue Is Lost and Contest Becomes One Between Employcs and Govern ment

Denver Colo, June t5, CP-Gen- eral strikes which involve the viola ton of wage agreements. were con- demned today by William Green president of the American Fedora tion of Labor, in an address before the convention of the Rotary Inter- national.
 A general strike, he said, means that tho line Of industrial conflict is immediately changed so that it seems 10 become a contest between employees and government rather than between employees and employ CTS. Real issues of the strike arc lost in the maelstrom of public opinion and public inconveniences. the original grievance which caused the general strike. no matter how mcritious. must remain unsettled until after the general strike has ended, he declared
 Pledges His Best Efforts
 "Fate has ordained that I should speak for the millions of men and women directly associated with the American Federation of Labor" he said. So far as I can influence the policies Of this great organization, no general strike will be eXperi- mented with where sich strike would involve the violation and abrogation Of wage agreements"
 Presiden Green enumerated some of the outstanding achievements of organized labor in the United States including the shorter work day, in crease in wages. abolishment of the sweat shop and tenement house slavery, legislation for the health, comfort and safety of wage earners and compensation laws, he told of the "ceaseless fight" 10 bring about the adoption of the proposed amend ment to the constitution to forbid child labor.
 When our fellow workers in Great Britain recently experimented in the use of the general strike in an effort 10 redress gravious wrongs which the miners of Great Britain were suffering, the working people of America, in common with those in other countries, watched it's prog rcss with feelings Of apprehension and anxiety. Today the workers Of America are more convinced than ever Of the wisdom and soundness of the policies pursued by the American Federation of Labor"

pursue their attempts to unionize
the mines of the company. the United
States Circuit Court OF Appeals ruled
here yesterday
The opinion of senior circuit Judge
W addill was concurred in by Judges
Rose and Parker The opinion upheld
the injunction granted the West Vir-
slnla-Plttsburgh Coal Co. against the

ing, w. Va, with notifications.
The notifications provide that no
part or the injunction shall be con-
strued to forbid the advocacy Of union

ments. when such speech or arcu
ments are free from threats and other
devices to intimidate and from at
tempts to persuade the plaintiffs en-
