AMERICAN LABOUR CONVENTION,

BOLSHEVISM DENOUNCED,

다

MONREAL, Jane, 10**

Denunciation of Bolshevisat, of the profiteering ecken of the United States Government în invoking the food control law against the late miners strike and of the failure of congress lo control the cost of living are the outstanding features of the Executive Council's report presented at the American Federation of Labour Convention to-day. The cost of living is largely attributed to big profiteers. The report congratulates Canada for defeating the so-called one "big union idea" Their stand is characterized as a magnificent triumph for trade unionism. The report favours co-opera- tive means with a view to curbing profiteering and urges that co-operatives be given legal protection against discrimination by manufacturers, and wholesale dealers. Moreover the cost of living must go no bigher or wages must be advanced in every case to a point whereat the American standard of living is secure.

LONDON, June 9th,

Mr. Gompers, president of the Federation of Labour, submitted to the programme committee of the Republican Convention a series of demands with reference to the high cost of living, profiteering, opposing unrestricted. immigration, injunction proceedings in connection with strike and com- pulsory arbitration.

The appearance of Gompers at the Convention Is consifered significant because the American Federation of Labour is committed to full political activity under the slogan that no enemy of labour shall be given public office if labour can prevent it
