united with the American Fedora

participation by the United States
III another foreign war
Speaking in behalf of the World
war veterans organization to the
national convention of the American
Federation of Labor, National Com
mander Ray Murphy of the Legion
said also that the former soldiers
favored making whatever changes in
the constitution are needed for the
common good"
THE ideals and aspirations of the
American Federation of Labor and
the American Legion are striving
toward a common goal" Murphy
said. That is the perpetuation and
perfection of our American form OF
government; the, firm determination
that the guarantee of personal
equality of opportunity, freedom of
speech and liberty for ali shall be
maintained and consolidated.
THE American Legion has had
enough of war" he continued. "It
desires peace. We shall fight with
all our strength to prevent this coun-
try being dragged into another for
eign war. We have had one exper-
ience of that kind, and the lesson
was dearly bought"
ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Oct. 8.
UP)-The American Federation of
Labor today expelled from its con-
vention here delegate who was a
candidate for congress in 1882 on
the Communist ticket.
Without dissenting vote, the
convention refused to seat E. NJ.
Curry, president of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Foundry
Employee, as a delegate from that
union.

An uprising among baby" unions,
loud in demands that the American

theory of mass industrial organiza-
ton, confronted federation leaders
today as they pushed toward the
more critical phase of their conven-
ton here.
The newer unions, aggressive and
ready for battle, consolidated their
position in a meeting given over
largely to denunciation of the con-
servative methods of the leaders.
While doomed to defeat at the
present convention, the newest affili-
ates, recruited from the automobile,
rubber, radio and mill industries,
struck an issue which will be con-
tested hotly throughout the i'm
mediate future of the labor move
ment.
The industrial unions voted sup
port for a resolution, which, if
adopted by the convention, would
give them jurisdiction over all work.

AMENDING THE CONSTITUTION

The Supreme Court having found
the NRA invalid, many proposals
for amending the constitution were
offered. so that such laws might be-
come permanent. But changing that
venerable old document is not like
buying something new at store.
Perhaps the fathers thought we
would do more work. if we did not
spend too much time tinkering with
the constitution.
The prohibition repeal amendment
was put through in 10 months, be-
cause there was a strong push of
popular emotion back of it, But an
amendment looking toward restric-
ton of child labor has been pending
for II years, and only half the states
have ratified it. The constitution
may be like an old suit of clothes,
which needs mending here and there.
However, sometimes you can do
more work i'm the old clothes than
in the new suit.
