Management He Says
Washlngton. Oct. 15 UP) Advan-
tages of coordinated rail and motor
bus service under electric railway
.management and the "Imperative
need" of regulating busses as com
mon carriers were discussed by I.u-
independent bus lines now opernt-
ing Ihroughout the country.
Mr, Storrs said an effort would be
made at the coming session of con
gress to obtain legislation for regu
lation of busses as common carriers,
declaring the motor bus and truck
operator was not entitled to prefer
ential treatment over electric and
steam railways.
Secretary Hoover told the assem

Inst night that proposals to substitute
federal for state or municipal con
tiol of electric power 1111111168 would
be a "profound invasion of state
sovereignty."
"If we were to stretch the Inter

Atlantic City, N. J., Oct 15 W
The American Federation of Labor
today voted after an animated de-
bate against the formation of an in
dependent labor party.
President William Green said that
there might come a time when it
might be necessary to organize such
a party, but he avowed that labor's
best interests could best be 6erved
now by supporting candidates friend
ly to labor.
The Federation also voted "con
sistently to continue Its work of or
ganizing negro workers. One hun
dred labor bodies already admit
negroes to membership.
The convention adopted a resolu
tion calling tor a conference ut Kan
sas City on October 28. at tfhich
President E. H. Fitzgerald of the
brotherhood of railway clerks will
meet representatives of Colorado
freight handlers in an attempt to
settle grievances.
The freight handlors had asked
that the jurisdiction be withdrawn
from the railway clerk and that
they be granted a charter where
they could have direct representa-
itlon. A representative of the federa-
tlon will attend tho conference and
report back to President Croen.
The convention turned down a
resolution, Introduced by J. Shafir of
the Chicago Bank Clerks' associa
tion, proposing that the United
States recognize soviet rtussla. Two
delegates voted in favor of recogni
tion.
A committee report on the subject
said:
"The American Federation of La

themselves and to control their own
destinies through political machin
ery of their own making. It op
poses with all of the fervor of a
high idealism every kind of auto
cracy, bureaucracy or dictatorship,
whether brutal or benevolent.
"It is emphatically opposed to
revolution and to the teaching of
revolution by violence wherever
