lEIII'S PROGRESS
OF ORGANIZED
LABOR 1111. S.
Greatest Single Accomplish
ment Was Passage of the
Clayton Trust Bill Told at
Convention American Federa
tion of Labor Today.
Philadelphia.—The 34th annual con-
I vention of the American Federation of
Labor whh opened here today to con
tinue for two weeks.
Jurisdictional fights whlclfehave fea
tured some of the past conventions of
the Federation are likely to take up
some of the time of the present gath
ering. The status of the American
employes In the Panama Canal zone
will also be discussed.
The most Important contest over
the seating of delegates Is that In the
l lilted Garment Workers of America.
Two sets us delegates are applying
to be seated. One faction Is heeded
by the old general officers of the union
and the other by a new set of officers
elected at a convention held hi Nash
ville, last month.
It's Greatest Achievement.
Philadelphia—Pronouncing the pass
age of the Clayton trust bill as or
ganized labor's greatest single ac
complishment fur the lust year, the
Executive Council of the American
Federation of Labor presented its an
nual report today to the thirty-fourth
convention of the Federation here.
The voluminous document covers every
question which has affected labor dur
ing the year, Including the European
war.
of the Clayton bill the council’s
statement siys that 11 “contains the
n,list fundamental, the most compre
hensive enunciation of Industrial free
dom, found In any legislative net In
the history of the world," and that it
whs obtained through the "organized
economic power" represented by the
workers of the United States.
The Keynote.
Iharassing economic organization ns
the keynote of the Federation's thought
and effort, the council expressed pride
In the report of the progress traps
nittted "at a time when most of tho
civilized countries are submerged by a
world-wide war" while In the United
States "on every hand the workers are
Insisting upon the maintenance of or
ganlK tton and resistance to detorlnra
lion of present working rondltnns"
"organized labor" It adds, “has assist
ed the effort to mitigate the Industrial
disorganization and iossea entailed by
tin European war"
"Before the war," It continues, "the
thought and effort of civilization were
centered upon the development and
glorification of human life. one life
was counted of Infinite value. Rut since
the cataclysm that brought war be
tween the nations, men are treated ns
only 'military, pawns. Things arc
valued fur their life-destroying Pow
er Guns fit's worth more (ban men."
Human Life is Sacred.
The wsr Is said to be the product of
"artificial conditions mid policies and
repugnant to the thought and political
progress of the ge. hut so far w*
have made little progress In providing
agencies for organizing International
relations to maintain peace and Jus
tice. The war line shown that war
. annnt put an end to Itself. War will
obis when society Is convinced
that human life Is really sacred and
when society establishes agencies. In
to nation 'I as well as national for pro
tecting lives"
Humming np steps that may be taken
toward the abolishment of war, the re
port continues
"Militarism and competitive arma
ment must bo abolished and tribunals
for awarding Justice and agencies for
enforcing determination must be In
stituted. International Interests and
Issues exist Political Institutions
should tie established corresponding to
political developments Those most In
terested should lead In demands for
world federation and the rule of rea
son between nations. The working
people of all lands bear the brunt of
war. The> do the fighting, pay the
war taxes, suffer most from the dis
organization of Industry and commerce
which results from war"
In Mexico.
Turning to the Mexican situation
the report n ukes public a letter from
President Oompers to Ttnfnel Zuharan,
"t’nlted Stales Vtepreaentatlve. Mexi
can Constitutionalists," dated July 14
of this year, saying the Federation,
more than any other Vmerlean agency
except the government of the Fnlted
States, aided the success of the "pros
pective government" and urges the
withdrawal of the avowed declaration
of “those who speak or assume to
speak In the name of General Car
ransa" that "retribution of the most
draconian character" would he visited
upon those responsible for the over
throw of Madero Such a withdrawal,
the letter added would have a tran
qulllllng effect and tend "to unite the
people of Mexico In support of an or
derly government”
The report adds: “We extend to
the people of Mexico under this new
regime our felicitations and our best
hopes for their welfare and pro
gress"
I.engthy presentations were made of
conditions In milling fields In West
Virginia. Colorado Michigan and Mon
tana Including much of the corre
spondence exchanged between opera
tors. employes and officials of the fed
eral and slate governments. Sum
ming up the general situation the re
port says:
For Improved Conditions.
“The various different movements of
the miners for Improved conditions
have t>ocn more conspicuous this past
year than those of any other orsnnt
gallon. This Is due to the Intensity
\y|th which the strug,glc* have been
waged; amounting in each instance
practically to civil war: to the num

the postoffices where they get their

There can he no real freedom under

Polioe Power Assumed.
"In addition to problems arising
from feudal ownership of land, the
mine operators have assumed police
power. They employ armed mine
guards to maintain their regulations
and to guard mine property. In times
of industrial peace, the mine guards
serve as police and prevent ‘undesir
able persons front trespassing’ upon
Ihe land of the mining companies. The
elastic term Trespass has been Inter
preted to mean all manner of organiz

The use of armed troops hy mine

some of the most serious of modern
industrial problems. We recommend

Review.
London, 10:43 a. m.—Shorn of its
picturesque pageantry, but with its
imperial and military features empha
sized, the lord mayor’s parade made
Its way through the streetß today In
the first port of the ceremonial in
augurating Sir Charles Johnston as
lord mayor of London In succession to
Sir Thomas V. Bowater. No English
institution is more traditional than
Lord Mayor's day, but with the ex
ception of the gaudily decorated ataie
coaches of the lord mayor and other
civic dignitaries the parade today
had little color.
Man in Khaki.
The men were clod in khaki and
there was none of {he brilliant dis
play which usually distinguishes th«
procession. Enormous crowds gath
ered early to obtain places from which
to see the men who are fighting Eng
land’s battles.
One of the most popular organiza
tions in the parade consisted of sev
eral battalions of the Canadian troops
now wai’lng in England their oppor
tunity to go to the front. Many of
the London city regiments were rep
resented by squads of men. None of
the military created more interest than
did the veterans of the naval battal
ions who survived the fall of Antwerp.
Tonight’s Banquot.
The lord mayor’s banquet tonight
will provide unique and historical fea
tures. The attendance of members of
the cabinet promises to be greater than
ever before in the history of this func
tion and the opposition also will be
represented.
Ordinarily there are not more than
two or three foreign diplomats pres
