If the boats spouting flame from

Some of the pictures are excel

It seems that the captain divid-

wasn't much of an artist, or may
be both.

show American Warships in action.
There are ships scudding in heavy
seas with masts swapping, ships
belching fire at the enemy, and
ships at anchor in Smyrna, Trieste.

but how can the council acquire the
extraordinary power of indefinite sus-
pension by adopting a self-made rule
to that effect? You say this rule was
made under article 9, section 8, of
the constitution. The rules authorized
by this section relate to administra-
tive affairs, and the section expressly
states that rules adopted cannot con-
flict with the constitution, and must
be reported to the convention. Your
rule undertakes to give the council
power to GUST constituent members of
the federation; it is in obvious con-
f1ict with the constitution. and has
never been reported to any conven-
ton.
The amendment requiring a two
thirds roll call vote of convention to
terminate the affiliation of national
or international union was adopted in
1907. Since then the convention has
ordered many suspensions, but the
Executive Council, through all these
years, has never pretended to eXer-
else the power until the present case,
where it assumes to sit in judgment
over 40 per cent of the A. F. of L.
membership.
The council, which incidentally.
has notoriouSly prejudged the issue,
is without authority to dismember
the federation. The C. I. o. declines
to submit to its jurisdiction. '''
THE C. I. o. has not opposed the
craft unions, or their development,
except in production industries
where their jurisdictional claims are
at best but theoretical, and have never
been, and cannot be, realized. There
is a place for both forms of trade
unions in a progressive and militant
labor movement.
Leaders of organized labor have an
obligation that ought to outweigh
their personal ambitions, and may
even call for some sacrifice of real or
fancied advantages enjoyed by crafts
they represent. That obligation Is to
organize the unorganized for the COM
mon benefit of all who toll, whether
craftsman or unSkilled. The problems
Of social justice and economic security
pressing upon us justify organized Ia
bor in widening its influence that its
voice may be more clearly heard in
the councils of the Nation. In the
fair and just solution of those prob
lens rests the welfare of all our work
ing millions and the heritage they
shall leave their children.
