Cincinnati, Ohio.-The delegates to
the annual convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor refused to
give an A. F. of l.. blanket indorse-
ment to President Roosevelt and the
New Deal.
The matter came before the con-
vention originally in resolution in
troduced by Delegate John J. Egan,
representing the Connecticut State
Federation of Labor, recommending
that the convention "give its full sup
port to the New Deal and to Presi-
dent Roosevelt"
The Resolutions Committee, of
which Matthew Woll is chairman and
John P. Frey, secretary, recommend
ed in a conservatively worded report
that the Connecticut resolution be de-
feated.
The substance Of the report was
that although some of the New Deal
legislation, such as the Social Security
Act, have been favorable to the work
ers, the American Federation of La
Dor, on the other hand, has been COM
PEELED to oppose certain New Deal leg
islation and administrative acts as
detrimental to the interests of work
ing men and women. Therefore, the
report said, the American Federation
of Labor cannot give blanket in
dorsement to either the New Deal or

ment of the report Of the Executive

lations with the G. |. o. from the time

ception of that organization, and Of
the continued efforts of the Executive
Council to re-establish unity.
"Your Committee realizing the
widespread misinformation which ex-
lists relative to the actions of the

be given complete record, recon-

prepared in pamphlet form a history
of the position taken by the American

Labor adopted unanimously the report
of the Resolutions Committee on the
communication from President Roose-
velt that negotiations for settlement
of the controversy between the A. F..
of, L. and the C. l. O., which were
abruptly broken off last summer by

O., should be resumed and continued
until unity in the labor movement is
achieved.
The report presented by the Resolu-
tions Committee, of which Matthew
Woll is chairman and John P. Frey,
secretary, reviewed the efforts taken
by the American Federation of La
Dor to secure labor peace and charged
the c. |. o. with absolute and COM
plete responsibility for continuance of
disunity by setting itself up as per-
manent organization last November
and by more recently invading the

Department Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
In addition, the report outlined the
resumption of negotiations with the

of the President only to have the con-
ferences between the two groups

Cincinnati, Ohio.-The more COM
plete mobilization of progressive
forces against the inroads of COM
munism was urged by Raymond j
Kelly, National Commander Of the
American Legion, in an address be-
fore the annual convention Of the
American Federation of Labor.
He also stressed the Importance of
harmonious relations between working
men and women and their employers
as essential to American prosperity.
"Now, more than at any time in our
history as a republic, it seems to me
that peace should prevail between the
employer and the employe in this
country" he said.
Industrial peace at home, gained
by just settlements of controversial
issues between labor and capital, can
aid immeasureably in convincing other
nations that the time is not ripe on
their part to take advantage of what
they might believe to be a strife-torn
America.
Communists Prevent Industrial Peace
Events Of the past six years in
this country have brought to the ma
tion's consciousness, as never before,
the inherent dangers to the very
foundations of our country from what
has been the lack of understanding
of the fundamental problems of en-
ployer and employe.
Achievement of a permanent and
lasting industrial peace has been rem
dered almost impossible by the eff
forts of Communist-inspired cliques
to gain control of the labor movement
in this country.
"The disclosures before the Dies
committee this Autumn definitely
made known such a situation, of
which many serious minded American
citizens have been cognizant for sew
eral years.
Alien Doctrines Opposed
"May | compliment the American
Federation Of Labor for it's unceasing
efforts in combating the agents of
alien ideologies who have attempted
to bore into your organization. These
efforts antedate. You have been sue
cessful to a high degree in keeping
the Federation a repository for pure
Americanism. The American Legion
salutes you.
"Those who would implant foreign
revolutionary doctrines in the ranks
of honest and law-abiding working
men must be trampled until they can
never rise again.
"The pursuit of this policy on the
part of the labor movement of driv-
ing out these professional agitators
is an all-important element in the de-
velopment of a strong national defense
for this country.

Verbal ammunition, felt by many to presage the "real' outbreak ot war shortly, was most in evidence today in the European conflict which lulled on actual battlefields as the world watched what effect Cham berlain's House of Commons speech would have on the continuation of hostilities.
 Both French and German com- muniques reported calm on the Western front. The French said there was artillery fire on both sides south of Zweibruecken. On the Eastern front Germany said "a hopping up action took place involving fights with shattered por- tions of Polish troops"
 Fight Brews
 Switzerland heard reports of an impending German thrust into France through the Alsace Bur gundy ga teway near the SWISS frontier.
 Germany's upper Rhlne garrlSoilS were said to have been strengthened for this purpose, heavy troop move ments by Nazi forces having been noted for the past two nights.
 Norwegian shipping brokers an- nounced they had been asked by Russia to furnish ships for carrying cargoes from the White Sea to Great Britain and France.
 Germany seized such cargoes in the Baltic as contraband.
 LuIl Before storm
 Great Britain is apparently chart ing her course of action in the be- lief that the present diplomatic man. euvers are merely lull before a greater storm of warfare.
 The British press today backed the stand taken by Premier Cham berlain that any peace proposal from Hitler be tested in the light of previous Nazi pledges which he said had been worthless.

ANCHORAGE, Alaska, Oct. 4. = Frank Huffman, caretaker of the F. w. Jenkins cabin, has found about 5000 in gold dust hidden in a woodpile.

 Finds Limited Bible Supply
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-Mayoe our own observations are limited but it is dawning upon us that we are not often finding Gideon Bibles in hotel rooms any more.
 People who live about in hotels and chance to take a moment to look in the upper right hand bu- reau drawer will tell you that once upon a time you could bank on finding a Bible there, printed in large type so it could be read by a light swaying to the blast ot an electric fan.
 Out West we used to cruise about and scarcely ever did we fail to find a Bible. It became sort of rite with us, first to turn on al the lights and then to hunt for It
 We have found the Bible in the Colonial Hotel in Denver, the Bonne- vile Hotel in Idaho Falls, and the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in Sar Francisco. That sort of proved the geographic distribution so far as the West was concerned.
 EAST IN A BAD WAY
 Our recent cruisings have been mostly confined to the East. And our luck in finding Bibles has been increasingly poor.
 You must understand that we do not keep the Bibles when we find them. The Gideon Society dis tributes them as a philanthropic enterprise to provide travelling sales men and an occasional newspaper man with something elevating to do.
 There is a stern warning against taking the Bibles, warning we have always felt obliged to heed We have some special feeling that it is an extraordinarily evil thing to steal Bible, even from hotel room.
 Our first discovery of the absence of Gideon Bibles was in Washing ton. At that time we lightly attrib- uted it to the chance that hotels and the Gideon people had limited faith in politicians. In Washington they
