The pro- ceeds of these bonds, it was explained, will be used in the construction of a grain mill and elevator and promote variqus activitles in the state. Mr. Odell said that Wall street had refused to handle the bonds on account of the state's refusal to back up the “open shop" campaign. Means for following up the various issues outlined at the conference were being discussed by the interna- tional union delegates today. Meth- ods whereby the projects acted upon could be put into effect were con- sidered. Open Shop Diseussion. The anti-“open shop” publicity campaign is understood to have been the keynote of discussion. It is now believed that this will materialia into a national educational campal among organized workers, giving sup-j porters of the American Federation of Labor a more comprehensive and more firmly rooted idea . of union prineiples. at the same time Instill- ing into the minds of the workers the labor belief that the “open shop” cam- paign is ‘“primarily a campaign de- signed to destroy trades unions and to break down and eliminate the whole principle of collective bargain ing." Alleged unscrupulous financlak speculation and profiteering were vig- orously denounced. The conference branded those so engaged as “un- scrupulous pirateers of finance, wh having squeesed the consumer throughout the period of the war, are now broadening their fleld and en- riching themselves by squeesing both the producer and the consumer. — e — UNDERWOOD CALLS MEETING.

SEEKING FORAGTION ONRECLASSYING |Senator Sterling Moves to Transfer Subject to Civil Service Committee. Senator Sterling of South Dakota, chairman of the civil service commit- tee of the Senate, formally a motion to Senate appropriations commitiee from further consideration of the Jones bill reclassifying the government employes and the report of the joint commission on reclassification, with instructions | that they be referred to the civil serv- ice committee. Under the rule ihe motion must lie over for a day. unless unanimous con- sent is given for its immediate consi eration. Senator King of Utah objected, and motion went over until tomorrow. That the motion will be resisted by members of the Senate appropriations committee was indicated today. tor Warren, chairman of the appropria- tions committee, said that the rear- { rangement of the salaries of the gov- ernment employes could more properly be made by the appropriations commit- tee, which is familiar with all the sal- aries. He said, too, that the commit- tee has started to do some work in regard to reclassification. He said that he thought the bill and report should remain where they now are, before the appropriations committee, and he hoped that Sena- lol;lSterllns'a motion would not pre- vail. Senator Curtis of Kansas, another of the appropriations committee, rected attention o the faet that one of the appropriation bills new car- ried an item to assist the appropreia- tions committee in making the re- classification of the employ: { ‘The contention of Senator Sterkng |is that reclassification is properly a legislative matter and does not be- long to the appropriations commit- tee. He has pointed out also that the bill for reclassification has .been- be- fore the Senate appropriations com- mittee for about a year without any- thing having been done. Senater Sterling is insistent that reclassifi- cation legislation shall be undertaken without further delay.
