"Resolved, That the American Ved
cration of Labor in convention as
sembled in Atlantic City express.^s
its disapproval of war-ttme prohibi?
tion and that a strong protest from
the delegates to thij convention be
forwarded to the government at
Washington, setting forth in a most
emphatic manner tn_ opinion of the
delegates to this convention that thc
? present mild beers of 234 per cent
alcohol by weight should be exompt

teenth Amendment to the Constitu
tion and also from ihe pro.ision of
the war prohibition measure; and be
it further
"Resolved. That the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor be an is hereby instructed
to convey these expressions through
a committee to the President of the
United States and Congress,. and to
do everything in its power to pre
Berve to the peopie of the United
States their freedom, liberty and
democracy/'
Unnnimonsly Recommended
"This resolution." concluded Mr.
Frey, "is signed by upward of 100
delegates to this convention. The
committee is unanimous in recommend
ing its adoption."
James A. Duncan, of Seattle, a radi?
cal, rose and said that although there
were many things on which Seattle
and Mr. Gompers agreed, they did not
agree on prohibition. To the workera
from his section, he said, it appeared
ridiculous that the convention should
consider daylight saving and beer mat
tcrs of primary importance. To their
way of thinking the convention might
with protit take up another matter,
such as tlie six-hour day.
"So far as booze is concerned," said
he, "we believe that when there's
still so much hysteria in the air it is
best to keep the minds of the peopie
sober. Four years :\go Seattle might
have approved the resolution. Now,
when we see the workers better fed,
better clothed, better housed, we no
longer fall for the bribe of a glass of
beer or a trip to Washington. When
we go to Washington we will go at
the expense of the workers and not
at the expense of the brewers. Any
person who voices the sentiment of the
brewers does not voice our sentiments."
Would Kiii Espionage Act
"They tell us that it is of importance
to labor that the war prohibition act
be repealed. I tell you it is of vital
importance that other measures,
notably the espionage act, be taken
ii'om the statue books. They tell us
that it rt-stricts our liberty. I tell you
that most laws are restrictive of lib?
erty.
"Yi u say to us that it is important
that the worker should have his beer.
I 'say to you that it is of infinitely
greater importance to stand by prohibi?
tion in the interest of generations yet
unborn. We want no more imbecile3
born into this world beeause their
parents were hard drinkers. In the
iiame of labor we're for prohibition
f'rst, last and all of the time."
Jacob Birch, a thirty-year-old news
boy, of Seattle, followed Duncan. He
said prohibition' had given the North
we.-t "a progressive labor movement."
Mr. Frey explained the haste of the
resolutions committee in reporting out
the resolution, on the ground that haste '
was necessary if the resolution were
to get before Congress in time.
"It is not," said he, "a question of
booze. It is a question as to whether
or not we approve of the brewing of
2.75 Rer cent beer. If the booze drink?
ers of Seattle can drink enough of that
to become intoxicated there's, is, indeed,
a large capacity for liquids.
"The delegate from Seattle says the
labor movement in Seattle was never
ao sano as since Seattle went dry.
Some of us differ as to the sanity of
some recent occurrences in Seattle."
"As one whose ncarest and dearest
has served in France," began Mr. Lon
non, "I will never vote on any question
in conjunction with the German-Ameri
can alliance of unsavory record in this
war."
His experience, he said, had been
that in dry towns the workers were
better off and more satisfied than in
towns were liquor was to be had. He
reminded the convention that in the
Kast the federation had kept its hands
off the liquor question, and he pro
testcd that to take sides would be a
backward step.
C. C. Shea, of New York, represent?
ing the theatrical mechanics, agreed
with Mr. Lennon that a roll call should
be had so that it should become known
where cverybody stood. He was, how?
ever, in favor of the resolution.
Mr. Gompers followed Mr. Shea. He
said he felt compelled to say he had
k written a magazine article on prohibi
? tton an a citiZen and not as president
V of the federation. Such a law, he said,
made him apprehensive of the libcrties
of the American peopie.
Be did not, hc said, know whether
thprr was any afanity between pro?
hibition and Rolahevism, but he as?
serted there had been more cases of
aicoholism in the hospiuls of Russia
since the prohibition of vodka than
there ever were before. And, he added,
R glance at thc resolutions prc
sented by delegates from Seattle would
iodieate that not only were they in
favor of prohibition for the United
States but for Bolshevism in the
United States as well.
John if. Walker denounced both "the
big corporation interests, which are
financing the prohibition movement
and the distillers who are financing the
wet opposition."
"There's no difference between the
two," said he "ln all matters of labor.
We get nothing from thern except, when
we can ii-ck them. There are many out
of work now. It is fair to assume that
the next two or three years are to be
years of unsettlement and idieness.
Under th??e conditions I do not think
it thc wii?e thing to throw 200,000 or
more men out of work. Therefore, I
think the wise thing for the convention
to do would be to adopt the resolu?
tion."
Many Rurprlse* ln Vote
The rollcall took op tha greater
j.art of the afternoon.
The vote showed son** surprlses.
New York's Central Fedefctted Union
delegates voted with tbe "weU." Those
of the Chicago Federation voted
"dry." Kansas City, Kan., was "dry,"
while Kansas City, Mk>., just aeross
the river, was "wet." Newport News,
Va.. was "wet," Newport, R. I., "dry."
The one big union to vote for the
resoHution was that of the carpenters,
the position of which had been doubtful.
The vote of the. miners' the largest in the
convention, was split, the vote being
2,706 *wet" nnd 1,230 "dry." The stere
otypers voted "dry," as.did the teach
ers and the spinners. ^The pressmen
voted "wet."

Franklin Union Fights
Suspension by A~ F. of L.
ATLANTIC CITY, June LI.?The con?
troversy over the suspension by the
American Federation of Labor of
Franklin Union of Pressmcn's Asssist
ants and Feeders because of the or
ganization's alleged taint of Bolshev?
ism flared up anew to-day. James H.
Bagley, of New York, president of
Franklin Union, arrived here to comibat
his ttdversaries, and the Intematiomal
Allied Printing Trades Association is?
sued a circular expraining the revoca

Bagley described the statements of
George L. Berry, president of the In?

camouflage of patriotism to cover'up
other things."
"Ours is not the only union," Bag?
ley said, "that has refused to pay dxies

counting of dues ali-eady paid."
Berry refused to comment on this
other than to refer to thc circular is?
sued to-day. It is addressed to the
local unions and commercial printing
employes in greater Niew York, and
terms the attitude of the Franklin
Union toward the International a "se

All Socialists on
Trial, Is Plea in
Behalf of Berger
Counsel, in Claiming Seat
in Congress for Client,
Asserts Minority Right
to Differ Is at Stake
New York Tribune
Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, June 11? One mill?
ion American citizens, all members of
the Socialist party, are on trial in the
person of Victor L. Berger, asserted
Henry F. Cochems, attorney for the So?
cialist leader, to-day before Elections
Committee No. 1 of the House of Rep
retentatives.
"Mr. Berger ls being tried here as
one of a million men, because they, as
Socialists, maintaincd a cbnsistent
point of view throughout the war, and
expressed their sentiments in common
: with Mr. Berger," Mr. Cochems told the
committee.
"This proceeding concerns not only
Mr. Berger, for in this committee's de
! cision will be determined the right or
! lack of right of a politieal party to hold
i and maintain a set of views that are
not the views of a majority of the
people."
t Mr. Cochems questioned the legality
of the whole proceeding. He argued
that under the Constitution the House
has no right to exclude a man duly
elected to its membership who pos
se3ses the constitutional qualifications
I for a seat in the House, although it
does have the unquestioned right to
! expel a member "upon its whim or
caprice" after he has been seated.
Mr. Berger sat at the right of his
counsel, sm^ing approvingly upon his
? argument, and occasionally whispering
a word of advice. Now and then he
made the circle of thc committee with
his eyes, looking defiance through his
gvld-rimmed spectaclcs.
Representative Dallingcr, chairman
I of the committee, assured Mr. Berger
' and his counsel that he would be ac
| corded tho fairest of trials.
"The committee is going to proeeed
on the general charge of disloyalty
j without regard to Mr. Bergeris convic
] tin or the pending appeal. We shall
insist upon a full, fair and impartial
t hearing."

atives of working class groups in all

? by a special committee of the Chicago
I Labor party, having in charge the
| programme for the labor demonstra

j order out of the international politieal
, and industrial choas which now ex?

If the plans of the committee are

Nation-Wide
^Wire Strike
Barely Felt
Continued from pajte 1
companies were open as usual, com?
pany officials declared. Mr. Carlton
asserted that only eleven Western
Union workers, including operators
and commercial employes, had quit
here. A score of girl employes, he
said, had not reported for work early
in the day beeause they feared dis
turbances. These workers, he said,
came in later.
Vice-President Reynolds of the
Postal declared that not more than
ninety of his three hundred operators
in the city were striking. He said the
number of clerks who had quit was
negligible.
"From our standpoint things are
rnoving satisfactorily," he said. "Traf?
fic to-day is particularly heavy and
we're moving it without serious delay.
Our best operators remajned at their
posts. With a little concentration of
work, I believe that things will be
normal within a few days. All the
one hundred branch offices here are
working as usual, only two employes
attached to the whole number having
failed to show up."
i
Women Among Strikers
About 30 per cent of the strikers on
the Postal system were young women |
whe operate the automatic machines.
"This is a repetition of the tempest !
in the teapot that took place last year," j
read a statement issued by Mr. Carlton j
early in tne day. "Then similar agita- j
tion from the same quarter with sim- '
ilar misrepresentation resulted as the i
public knows in a complete failure.
The failure this year ls equally pro
nounced.
"No attention would have been paid
to this ill-advised effort to prostrate
the telegraph service were it not that
the newspapers have been publishing
propaganda rather than facts. So far
as tHe Western Union Company is con
cerned the so-called strike is a com?
plete failure, but it is due to the fact
that our employes are too intelligent
to be misled by any self-seeking and
irresponsible individual.
"The Western Union makes no dis
crimination between a union employe
and a nonvunion employe as such. A
union man is as welcome to work as
is a non-union man. There have been
no demands or grievances put forward
by Western Union employes. There
never bas been a strike ballot of West?
ern Unrion employes, although a par
tial effotrt was made to distributa'1 bal
lots, but?no a'tention was paid to them.
Blarnes Power Seeking "Individual"
"The whole procedure is a scandal
ous effort to usurp power on the part
of an individual, and we hope that if
this individual again makes such an
effort the public will bear in mind
the causes for his failure and here
after treat his efforts with the con?
tempt they deserve/'
Mr. Carlton was in telephonic con
versation with tlie Postoffice Depart?
ment at Washington twice during the
day. In the morning he told Post?
master General Burleson:
"I have received reports from every
one of our seven traffic divisions and
they report absolutely nothing in the
way of a strike. They are operating
with a full force and traffic is clear.J'
Late in the afternoon, Mr. Carlton
assured First Assistant Postmaster
General Koons that the Western Union
system was working normally.
Labor Centres Unaffccted
The head of the Western Union sys?
tem called attention to the fact that
not a single operator had left his post
in such strong labor centres as
Scrarrion, Wilkes-Barre and Springfield,
Mass. Ccmmenting on the strikers, he
said:
"Anybody who deliberately attempted j
to paralyze or damage the telegraph
service of the country will not come !
back into the Western Union. If the
men absent to-day were away beeause
of illness or other extcnuattng clrcum
stances, they can come back. Other
wise we don't want them."
At the Pulitzer Building strike raly,
Mr. Thomas warncd the telegraphers to
guard against "false rumors the com?
panies will attempt to circulate."
"The strike will grow, although we
have not enough men out yet to tie up
the Western Union wires. The Postal,
however, is badly handlcappcd." he
Jiaid.
Last night Mr. Thomas charged that
the Western Union was using "sleep
crs" to fill in vacant posts on Its main
offlce operating floor. "They're filling
in with men who don't know how to
work keys, just to make it look as if
everything was running smoothly," he
said.
Rose Schneiderman, president of the
Women's Trade Union League, attended
the Pulitzer Building rally. Mr. Thomas
announced she was developing plans for
aiding the key men.
Wall Street's operations were not af?
fected by the strike. since the operators
of leased wires to various points in the
country were not included in the strike
call. The offices of the Western Union
and the Postal Union in the financial
district were accepting business as
UBual.
Tie-Up in 3 Days9
Union Heads Say
Strike Le'aders and Com?
pany Officials Differ on
Extent of Wire Walkout
CHICAGO, June 11.?Union leaders
declared to-night that thc first day
response to the call for a nivtion-wide
strike of commercial telegraph opera?
tors gave promise that the tie-up will
be complete in three days, despitc
claims of company officials that the
strike Has failed.
Reports received by The Associated
Press from many towns in various
sections of the country indicate that
commercial telegraph business was not
seriously intercupted in most dis?
tricts.
A statement hy President. Carlton,
of the Western Union Telegraph Com?
pany, that only about 16G persons, 121
of them operators, answered the strike
call brought from S. J. Konenkamp,
international president of the Com?
mercial Telegraphers' Union of Amer?
ica, a remark that more than that
number of Western Union employes in
Chicago alone had joined the strike
by noon.
Strike Leader Confident
"Reports up to late to-day point to
a 90 per cent response in the
Postal Telegraph Company service,
and a 70 per cent response from
Western Union employes," said Konen?
kamp. "The East has shown up sur
prisingly well, and in the Southeast
alone the number of strikers now ex
ceeds 8,000. Telephone workers have
gene out in Philadelphia, New Orleans,
Columbia, S. C, and Brunswick, Ga.
"When the electrical workers go on a
nation-wide strike Monday additional j
telephone workers also will go out.
Railroad telegraphers in all parts of
the country are refusing commercial
business."
In a statement declaring only a few
Western Union operators had quit, Ed?
ward F. Wach, deputy vice-president of ,
the Association of Western Union Em?
ployes, said the 30,000 members of that I
organization were not concerned with
the C. T. U. A. demands. Sixly-five per
cent of all Western Union employes are ?
represented in the association, he said. j
"The association has an agreement
with the Western Union whereby it is ;
recognized and is permitted to bargain
collectively for wages and hours," he
said. "We obtained a 5 and 10 per
cent increase under Postmaster Gen?
eral Burleson and are promised adjust?
ment of certain parts of a scheduie
entered into with the company which
was not fulfilled by the Postmaster
General.
"Reports from locals in all sections
of the country show Western Union j
employes on the job with a few negli- i
gible exceptions."
To substantiate his claims, Wach'
displayed telegrams from association !
officials in various districts saying con
ditions were normal. He said that not
a single operator in the Western Union :
Chicago office struck. E. W. Collins, \
general superintendent of the Postal
Telegraph Company, in Chicago, ad?
mitted a large number of their 300
operators had quit, but insisted that
if the "agitators about the building
were driven away, many employes
would come to work."
Street Fights in Chicago
Police protection was asked by the
Western Union after numerous street
clashes of a minor character. Delivery
service was hamperod late in the day,
when all but four Western Union mes
sengcr boys at the main office joined
the strike. It was charged they had
been intimidated and messages taken
from them.
Many. Postal messongers also struck.
Mr. Collins said the company had
not been seriously affected.
Speaking at a meeting of strikers to
night, Konenkamp said the telegraphers
would "fight all the way to prevent
further discrimination against union
workers."

Burleson Declares
Strike Unjustified
Says No Union Pressure Will
Make the Control Board
Extend Its Rules
WASHINGTON, June 11.?Declaring i
the strike of wire employes which be- \
gan to-day was "wholly without justi
fication," Postmaster General Burle?
son said in .a statement that "no
amount of pressure will avail to make
the Wire Control Board extend or go
beyond the rules and r^gulations af
fecting employes laid down during the
war by the National War aLbor Board.
Mr. Burleson said his information
was that telegraphic traffic had not and
would not be delayed. Government
business, which makes up the bulk of j
that handled by the telegraph com?
panies here, was reported moving as
usual to-day, and at the State Depart?
ment it was said there had been no
intorruption of cable communication
with Europe.
"The present strike," said the Post?
master General, "started at Atlanta,
Ga., beeause it was asserted employes
of the Southern Bell Telephone Com?
pany had been dismissed solely beeause
of affiliation with the labor organiza?
tion.
"Investigation of these cases shows
that no discrimination whatever has
been practiced against employes of that
company "beeause of union afflliations.
"The Senate committco having re?
ported a bill in favor of turning back
forthwith the wire systems to their
owners and the House committee hav?
ing indicated a purpose to take action
nlong similar lines, an order was is?
sued continuing the operations of the
wire systems for the remaining period
of government control.
"After this order was issued the
present strike was ordered. Our in?
formation is that the telegraphic
traffic has not been delayed, and the
information received indicates that it
will not be delayed.

Off Streets and More
Constables Sworn In to
Take Places of Police
WINNIPEG, June 11. ? Mayor
Charles F. Gray announeed to-night
that further street rioting will be the
signal for him to call out the militia.
Military forces have been ordered to
stand by prepared for any emergency.
Mayor Gray intimated that the ques?
tion of invoking the military was dis
cussed at yesterday's conference with
General H. D. B. Ketchen, commander
of the Manitoba military district, and
Colonel J. Stearns, commanding the
Royal Northwest Mounted Police
forces here.
In a proclamation, Mayor Gray urged
citizens to assist in maintaining law
and order by keeping off the street as
much as possible, and attending
strictly to business.
"I wish to avoid the use of sterner
methods if possible," the proclamation
reads, "but will use whatever methods
are necessary to preserve law and or?
der."
Four arrests have been made in con?
nection with yesterday's rioting. The
men arrested are said to be foreigners.
Further desertions to-day from their
ranks were admitted by the strike
leaders, and it was announeed an at?
tempt would be made to-morrow to run
streetcars which have been out of
service for three weeks.
Telegraph operators of the Canadian
Press Limited at Winnipeg, Calgary
and Edmonton, who have been out on
strike for more trfan three weeks, re?
turned to their keys this afternoon,
following satisfactory negotiations
with the management. The operators
were reinstated with their former
status, but agreed to refrain in future
