P. -Montreal, June 19. The American Federation of Labor, through its newly elected president, Sa"muel Gompers, will take the stump in the 1920 presidential campaign against Gov. Warren G. Harding aftd his running mate Gov. Calvin Coolridge, it was learned here Saturday. The announcement that the labor unions would unite its forces against the Republican candidates shook the very foundations of the "old guard" camp, and G. O. P. lieutenants from the United States were doing their utmost to prevent organized labor from taking a stand against the Re publcan party. Hut their efforts fell 'short. This fact became known when Gompers personally announced that "organiz ed labor could not possibly support candidates presented to the people by Wall Street, which is openly an tagonistic to union labor." The veteran American Federation of Labor chieftain went a step furth er to announce that both Harding and Coolridge were on thte "black list." Gompers. is preparing to leave for San Francisco Sunday night in an effort to have the Democratic nat ional convention adopt platform planks favorable to labor. Others in the Gompprs nry will he Vetor Brady of New York and William Greene, secretary of the mine work ers and former president of Ohio state senate. " ' : An effort will be made by the !a borites to have the Democrats in dorse the planks which the Repub licans rejected at Chicago. It was said on good authority that a proposed plank favoring govern ment ownership will not be put to the Democrats despite the indorse ment of government ownership of railways by the American Federation of Labor convention which was to end Saturday; itsikciy77nT5wever, that the railroad ' unions will send a special delegation to San Francisco and these delegates will attempt to enlist the. aid of William Jennings 'Bryan in having a government own ership plank inserted in the Demo cratic platform. A delegation from the union of uostal employes will seek pledges from candidates that Postmaster General Burleson shall not be reappointed to office if the Democrats win next November. .

King Thinks Clark Has Good Chance to Win Nomination. -Washington, June 21. Senator King (Dem.) of Utah' think Champ C lark has good chances of receiving the nomination of the Democrats at San Francisco. "From all parts of the country," Senator King said today, "I have ex pressionu of opinion showing the availability of Mr. Clark. He is re garded as a highly important, if not a dominating, figure in Democratic politics. "Many think he was robbed of the presidency in 101 -', through the de fection of Bryan, and that now his day has come. Many strong influ ences would support his candidacy. "Missouri is regarded as a doubt ful, as well as a pivotal state, and Mr. Clark is looked upon as the best means to wrest it decisively from Republican control. His fine record for progressive legislation should rally the liberal forces to him, while tlie'old-line Democrats justly regard him as a safe, and sane upholder ol the Jeffersonian doctrines. ''The nomination of Mr. Clark would greatly reduce the danger of serious defection in the Democratic ranks in case a third party appeared." l Mill arawino. fIb'fhi early days of Ita history the earth grew rapidly by tM aaainon 01 illr ultir It la atfll irowlni In the aaase mumer. tbonfh scarcely to an appreciable stent (or tbo mass of mmtt added mrtr la reck teaed to bo only 30.000 Notification of Harding Set for July 22.

Although final plans have not been completed the Republican nominee is expected to remain in. Washington until . a few days before his notification. The dates for the two notification ceremonies were decided on today at a conference here, in which Senator Harding, National Chairman Hays and a subcommittee of the Republi can National Committee participated.
