PACE EIGHT INVESTICATION OF LOCKOUT OF — SEAMEN ASKED American Federation in Convention at Denver Calls for Senate Probe of Nation-Wide Strike Situation DENVER, June 16.—The American Federation of Labor today by resolution called upon the United States senate to adopt the La Follette bill providing for a federal investiga- tion of the nation-wide “lockout” of seamen. The resolution, introduced by the international secrmen’s union declared ion of Buropean and owners, aided by the shipping board, have up to this moment beon busy thwarting the American peopie in their logiti- mate desire and purpose to share in eas commerce, and, in build merica @ sea power cor- to the American sea- Tho conventon adopted a resolution for a congressional investiga- to conditions in the cotton mills ef the couth.

DENVER, June 16.—Two interna tional unions have demanded that the | | convention of the American Federa-| tion of Labor in session here instruct liate the federation with national Federation of Trade nis became known today when res- olutions presented by the Internation- Al Association of Machinists and the Firemen and Oilers union were made Public. Both practically call for a re- pudiation by the delegates of the ac tion of President Gompers and the executive council in severing relations ‘with the European labor movement because of its “revolutionary activi. ties.” As both resolutions were referred to the committee on international rela: tions, which is headed by President Gompers, labor leaders predicted that they would be reported unfavorably and the action of the federation’s offi- cials upheld. “We will probably make a fight for our resolution,” said Fred Hewett, chairman of the machinist union dele- gation. “We have not completed our plans, but will meet within the next few days to decide upon definite ac tion." The United Brotherhood of Main- tenance of Way Employes and Rail- way Shop Laborers, prising A membership of two hundred and fifty thousand, will make a fight on the floor of the convention for reinstate- ment in the federation it was learned today.. The union was suspended in 1919 because of a jurisdictional dis- pute with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners. The entire controversy is brought before the convention in a resolution presented by four. railroad organiza- tions, which declares that the claims of the carpenters’ union, “cannot be sustained by any method of intelligent Teasoning nor by. precedent.” President E. C. Grable and Vice President James Malloy of the Main- tenance of Way union -are here in support of the resolution, which the carpenters have announced their in- tention to oppose. Tie San Francisco labor council in a Fesolution demanded that protest be made to the department of labor against the leniency that permits the “smuggling into United States of five hundred or more Chinames every month.” The executive council is asked to oppose any attempt in con- gress to change the exclusion laws so that they would permit the admission of Chinamen into the country. ‘The resolution charges that a “na- tional organization of the enemies of labor and the people of this country have been working secretly for several years to break down the Chinese ex- clusion’ act,” and demands that the federation condemn “this most des- picable conspiracy to break down American standards in order taat a few of the enemies of labor and the people may profit from the labor of Chinese coolies to the detriment of all honest employers.” Congress is also called upon to “in- @ignantiy refuse the appeal of the Hawaiian legislature in the interests of tho sugar planters to modify or amend in any manner whatever the laws that were enacted after years of agitation to forever exclude the Chi- Bese.” Secretary of Red Cross Leaves for Milwaukee Meeting Mrs. Kittie Payne, executive secre: tary of the local Red Cross, leaves to night for Milwaukee where she will Attend the national conference of s0- some time ago by The convention will conference orkers.
