United Press Staff Correspondent

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. S. U.P)-
Faced by the greatest problems in
its half century of existence, the
American Federation Of Labor
opened its 51st annual convention
here today.
Four hundred delegates will seek,
during the two weeks of the con-
vention, to point the way for both
capital and labor out Of the slough
of industrial depression.
Immediate legalization of 2.75 per
cent beer, opposition to wage cut
ting, division of available work,
stimulation of public projects, and
better division of wealth are among
the factors labor leaders propose as
means of attaining this end.
The goal of the federation as out
lined by President William Green Is
TO raise the standard of living for
100000 members and to have an
estimated 1000 900 of Americas 90
100000 workmen from unemploy-
jnent this winter.
mo more important convention
of the federation was ever held"
said Green "On our hands is the
job of outlining a temporary pro-
gram to end this depression and put
millions of men now subsiSting on
charity back into gainful labor. At
the same time we must devise q
permanent program to prevent flu
ture depressions and gain for work.
men their fair share of prosperity
and leisure made possible by in
creased efficiency and machines
Primarily, labor cannot restore it
self to its level of 1929 without aid
ing industry to reach the heights
it attained that year, Green be-
lieves. To accompany that, labor
will demand:
/. Immediate modification of the
Volstead act to legalize 2.75 per
cent beer. Labor believes this
would promote temperance and
establish a new big industry en-
ploying 2,500,000 men in construc-
ton, transportation and manufac-
ture.
.. Force equitable division Of
available work. Green says this
would be accomplished by five day
weeks or six-hour days at the pre-
vailing hourly wage as starter.

immediate and intensive stimula.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 5. UP)-
Behind the masterful pitching OF
Burleigh Grimes the st. Louis Cards
won the third game Of the 1881
world series over the Philadelphia
Athletics, 5 to 2, here today.
Grimes limited the normally
hard hitting Athletics to two hits,
one of them a ninth inning home
run by AL Simmons, left fielder.
Not until the eighth inning di the
Athletics batter nit safely.
Miller singled Ia the eighth and
broke the mastery of the rough and
ready Cardinals pitcher. He died
on base, however.
In the ninth Simmons drove over
the right field fence with McNair,
pinch runner, on first and only then
did the AS break into the scoring
column.
In winning, the Cardinals routed
Lefty Grove, number l man OF the
Athletics staff. The Cards, how
ever. led by Pepper Martin, the Sc
ries batting hero, fell upon Grove
heavily In the second, fourth and
seventh innings. In the second,
singles by Martin and Wilson, after
Bottomley had walked, resulted in
scores for Bottomley and the Pep

In the fourth, Hafey singled. Mar
tin doubled and Grimes singled to
score Hafey and Martin. In the
seventh inning Roettger doubled
and Frisch singled. but Grove re-
lieved the side without score.
Mahaffey went in to pitch for
Grove in the ninth. A double by
Bottomley in that inning scored
Watkins, who was running for
Roettger.
The outcome was distinct re-
