ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., August A.
The absence of three of its members
yesterday necessitated the postponment
until Monday of consideration of a
political program by the executive
council of the American Federation of
Labor.
After the meeting yesterday, William
Green. president Of the federation, an
nounced that politics would be taken
I'D at Mondays session. 1t was under
stood that informal discussions by
members of the council concerning
presidential candidates have ended in
bitter controversies.
None of those attending the confer
ence, however, would predict what the
outcome of Mondays meeting would
be and President Green stated he be-
lieyed it unfair" to make any state
ments concerning what has taken place
in any of the informal sessions.
Secretary Frank Morrison was In
structed by the council yesterday TO
meet with the officers of the Railway
and Steamship Clerks Union to discuss
the return of their membership Of
about 100000 to the federation. The
clerks, who have been under suspension
for some time following upon dispute
over jurisdiction, now will only have to
pay their back dues to be restored to
membership. Mr.. Green said.
A warming was issued to the Signal
mems Union that 1t would be suspended
within so days unless it complied with
rules of arbitration set forth at a re-
cent convention after a controversy
with the electrical workers. There are
approximately 5000 members in this
group, Mr.. Green said.
