VANCOUVER, B. c., Oct. 6.-The
phrase, "Reform-or Revolutionl
was raised today as the battle cry
Of 1874 American Federation Of
Labor delegates as they rounded out
platform designed to end the
darkest time its membership has
known in a decade.
The first of a batch of 100 reso-
lutions embodying organized labor's
policy for the next twelve months
was ready for introduction today
Committees worked all night pre-
pairing the resolutions, which were
kept secret until read to the full
convention and docketed for dis
cussiOn.
In a time when 100000 Amer
icans-more than twice the full
stregnth of unionized labor-are
jobless, the federation will not end
its activities with the closing OF
the convention, leaders said.
Green Warns of Unrest
Force the managers of industry
to action" was the thought ex-
pressed from the speakers stand

groups to talk.

make work for more men must be
adopted to prevent a frantic up
setting of the capitalistic system in
an effort to find relief, Frank Nor
rison, secretary of the federatio for
thirty-five years, declared.
Morrison and Martin Ryan, treas
urer of the decoration, said labor

shortening of the eight-hour day to

man is the foundation of labors

Slap at Wage Cutting
Assurance of job security is de-
manded to release into circulation
the savings boarded by men now
employed, but in continual fear OF
being discharged in wholesale lay
offs.
An immediate stop to wage-cut-
ting on the grounds it is economic
suicide, is held essential. And al
though organized labor calls strikes
"barbarous," it will ask of congress
greater right to use that weapon
when it feels it necessary.
A sharp limiting of use of court
injunction to prevent strikes will
be demanded Unionism, said the
delegates. feels it must march back
to prosperity with an again pros
