AEADERSOF ABOR LEAVEFOR DENVER Officials and Others to At- tend American Federation’s Annual Convention. Leaders of International unions - with headquarters here and official of the American Federation of Labor are leaving—some having already i left—the city for Denver, Colo., " Where the American Federation's an- , nual convention will be’ staged next - week. . ' President Gompers, Secretary Mor- tison and a mumber of the official Btaff at the headquarters will be ab- ,.Bent from their offices at the Amer- ican Federation of Labor building for Severa] wecks. Unless developments at the last hour materialize, President Gompers will go into the convention without serious opposition for re-election. So confident are the supporters of the administration that he again will be - Teturned that already plans are being made for a national organizing cam- pPaign o start within a few weeks after the election. Sidelights Arve Planned. Several sidelights are planned for the convention which are regarded as sigmificant in regard to their bear- ing on the future. Among these is a determined move- ment by the International Association of Machinists for a_referendum on election of officers. The claim is made, that under the unit rule of voting a sStrict consensus of supporting or op- posing opinion as to officials is not obtained. Under the referendum pro- posal every card carrier in the United States. belonging to a union affiliated with the American Federation of Labor would be allowed to cast an individual vote for members of the executive committee and the officials of the federation. This promises to be one of the centers of conflict at the conventior. Conservative supporters the present administration, how- point out that where machinery not in shape in international unions r referendum balloting, the system would not work with success, and that & great number, if not a large ma- Jority, of the unions have no refer- cndum on their individual issues. ::,b allignment of the transporta- t workers, the shop crafts and miners, although this will be made on - i% 1 “espected to gceupy the attention of & number of the delegates and officials froin _these classes, who will brought together at the convention. Promoters of the plan look for the #nitial step in this offensive and defen- , 8ive alilance of workers to be taken - while lraders in these classes are at- tending tie convention. “Open Shop” Lowes Interest. The “open shop™ campaign may enter futo the convention with other issues, bui it is regarded as in a dying condition among leading labor experts, zud scant attention is expected to be ac- corded it. The migration problem will come In for scrious discussion, as well as Rus- sian affairs, on which a det stand is cted to be reiterated. Another proposition to which con- -5 tion will be given is that of the railroads, characierized by President Gompers as “sufficient in itself to absorb the cntire time of any great convention™ and “involving the nation’s chief means of transpert.” MR. HOOVER PROPOSES SEASONAL COAL RATES Teets anl-hflv-bo! Roads to " Work Ont Project for Volun- tary Agreement. - Secretary ¥Hoover and representa- tives of the railroads are working out pians for a voluntary agreement be- tween the carriers to establish season- al rates on coal to relieve congestion and consequent high prices during the winter months, it was szid today. According to the Sectetary’s view, changes in the freight fate structure to cffect 3 more even coal movement throughout the year could de ordered by the Interstate Commerce Commis- without a general disturbance of rote levels, on agreement between the railroads. The administration is understood to Fieve advanced the argument that _since the government itself is a heavy “Pérchaser of coal the effect of the movement of its fuel at seasonal rates would stimulate the summer traffic ‘und at the same time reduce the win- ‘ter (onnage.

WITH KOREAN ATROCITIE Presbyterian Missionary Report Says Premier Hara Is Under Con- trol of Elder Statesmen. TORONTO, June 3.—The report of the board of foreign missipns, sub- mitied tonight to the Presbyterian General Assembly, charged Japanese military forces in Korea with terrors ism and atrocities. The accusations referred to acts of 6,000 troops, sent .across the northern Kerean border into Manchuria, ostensibly, the board declared, to suppress Korean plotting and to punish bandits for destroying the Japanese consulate at Hoom Choon. The report stated that owing te both the publicity given the punitive expedition and the board's protest, & commission of six military men was ®sent to Kanab, and the head of the commission afterward accused the missionaries of inciting the Koreans to plot against the goverament. The war office, it aiso declared, frankly referred to the missionaries as - Japanese propagandists.” ‘Premier ‘Hara and his government in Tokio,” the report added, “would doubtle ike to deal summarily with military officets who commit acts W cruelty ahd inhumanity which) bring Japan into ill repute through- out the civilized world, for he is & commoner and many of his colleagues are of democratic tendencies. But so long as the Genro, or elder etates- men, really influence the government, 80 long will the war offica be, in ef- fect, independent of the diet\and un- contrelled in its method “The hope of Japan is in that spirit of fearless criticiem exhibited by & section of the press and in the slowly growing spirit of democracy which, in an age which abhors militarism, must ultimately win its way to power, and make the rights of the common people the supreme censideration. In the meantime the cause of Christianity flourishes in Korea because of the persecutions of the petty officials throughout the country. In spite of the well-meant assertions of the civih ian arm of the Korean goverament, we cannot forget Marquis Ito’s state- ment that Christianity is inimicable to the ideals of the Japanese govern- ment in Korea. sympathies are with those Japanese of democratic tendencies who believe in the coming triumph of liberalism.” BELIEVE MAYOR OF CORK HAS LEFT UNITED STATES Officials Say He Was Allowed Un- til Midnight Next Monliay to Quit Country. Donal O'Callaghan, lord mayor of Cork, who came here six months sgo as a stowaway to testify before the commission of the committee of one hundred investigating the Irish ques- tion, is believed by officials of the Department of Labor to have returned to Ireland. The lord mayor was given classification in this country as a sea- man and allowed until midnight next Monday to leave the United States. E. J. Henning, assistant secretary of labor, said teday that the department had “every reason to believe that be- fore the time limit allowed 'Cal- laghan to leave he will have shipped ard another ship.” “As a matter of fact,” said Mr. Hen- ning, “we believe that he is already safely back in Ireignd, although we have no official information to that effect. His attorneys assured us that he would leave the country according to the ruling of the Secretary. The last that I h heard of him was through newspaper reports that he ‘was in Chicago April 8. Pointing out that friends of the lord ‘a8 thefe was no requirement that his departure be reported immediately. O’CALLAGHAN IN NEW YORK. Lord Mayor There Yesterday; Present Whereabouts Not Known.

While the assemble’ phywi- elans belleve heartily “Xo, we don’t put much stock in monkey giands,” smiled Dr. Noble P. Barnes. Treatment of the causes of disease, rather than the symptoms, was ad- vocated by Dr. Jacob Diner of New York at today's session of the twen- tyssecond annual meeting of the American Therapeutic Society at the Arlington Hotel. Dr. E. Bosworth MacCready of Pittsburgh brought up the proposition in his paper on “The Treatment of Epileptic Manifestations in Children From the Standpoint of the Constitu- tional Basis.” The convulsions, he said, should be treated as mere symptome, aud the real cause sought. Oppose “Foolish” Regulations. The convention will forward to the White House and to committees of Congress copies of resolutions adopted last night, in which it is declared that physicians and surgeods should have the “unim ght" of prescribing alcohol without any foolish regul tions under the prohibition enforc ment act. The axsembled physicians want ai- cohol put in the same class with othes narcotics, to be prescribed by them under the same regulations. While ex- pressly stating its disapproval of “liquor-prescribing physicians.” the society maintained in its resolution that “no legislative bod{, or enforce- ment authority, should limit a doctor in the legitimate practice or exercise of his functions as a physician.” Other papers read today included “Acromegalia With Leukemia,” by Di an 1. Goldstein .of Camden, N. Therapeutic Report,” by Dr. John’ Blake White of New York; “The Teaching of Medicine and Therape: tics to Undergraduate Students,” Dr. Thomas F.

Discussion of the effects upon the rstem of the glands of internal se- cretion has formed an important part of the two-day session of the society. The @wcussion of the thyroid, pituitary and other internal gland secretions was led by Dr. Charles de M. Sajous of Philadelphiafi an international au- thority upon the subject. This ‘afternoon the delegates went to Mount Vernon to place a wreath upon the tomb of Washington.

The figures turned over to-the chairman today were regarded as an answer /to charges of Semator Kenyon, made in the Senaté yesterday, that the board was expending unnecessarily large sums of money. " Effect of the Strike. That the shipping strike is not hav- ing a depressing efféct on operation of Shipping Board vessels, but i rather having the opposite effect, i held to be shown by figures an- nounced st the offices of the board today.
