» s LABOR FEDERATON TAGKLESISUES Carpenters’ Controversy a | Problem for Convention ' Which Opens Today. By the Asvociated Press. DENVER, Col., June 13.—Unemploy- ment, the open shop, wage reduc- tions, relations with European labor federations, disarmament, the Irish question and recognition of the Rus- sian soviet government, and more than a score of other major issues were before the forty-first annual convention of the American Federa. tion of Labor, which opemed for = two weeks' session here today. More than 50u_delegates from all sections of the United States and Canada, headed by President, Samuel Gomper: and the executive council of the fed eration, marched to the municipal au- ditorium, where the meeting opened with addresses of welcome by Gov. Oliver Shoup of Colorado, ~Mayor Dewey Bailey and other state and municipal officials. President Gompers’ Address. The first order of business after the seating of the delegates was an address by Samuel Gompers re- viewing the accomplishments of the federation during the past year and urging a more active opposition on the part of organized labor to its enemies. The executive coundil's report, a voluminous document of many thou- sand words, setting forth the many issues that face union labor with rec- ommendations to meet the situation, was then read. President Gompers and the execu- tive council, it was learned today, have taken steps to adjust the sit uation brought about by the with- drawal of the carpenters’ union in the building trades department of th federation. - The council remained in session until midnight last night considering the matter, but no announcement was made as to whether a solution of the problem had been found. Opponents Get Busy. ‘While the federation administra- tion was making plans to bring about peace in the department, opponents of the carpenters were planning to bring a resolution before the con- vention demanding that the union be ousted if it failed to comply with the decisions of the national board. President William L. Hutchesor. of the carpenters said his organization would not recede from its stand and was ready to fight the matter out on the convention floor. No debate was scheduled for the convention today, as the greater part of the time will be taken up with preliminary routine and the in- luction of resolutions. Rail Labor Board Scored. The report gives the present strength of the Federation of Labor at 3,906,528, as against 4,078,740 in 1920, and says that slight decrease im members is “naturally due to the large numbers of workers unem- ployed.” It points to the membership enroliment as proof that the cam- paign against organized labor has failed. The report says that the decisions of the Railroad Labor Board in wage cases “have betoken no progressive thought,” and it characterizes as “a deliberate backward step” the abro- gation by the board of the national Wwage agreements. “The Railroad Labor Board,” the report continues, “has made volun- tary agreement a relic of history.

The Japanese colonize together and have gradually driven out American citi- zens from the most fertile farm lands #n the state. They undersell the American farmer because of their low standards of living. “The ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ (with Japan) has proven to be a failure, be- gause the Japanese in @ cunning and stealthy manner have outwitted the intent of the law. This peril is not only a serious condition for Califor- nia, but it is a positive menace to our entire nation. The American Federa- tion of Labor is fully justified in tak- ing & firm stand to do away with the ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ and in its place inaugurate a definite policy calling -for total exclusion of Japa- nese with all other orientals. We should also g0 on record as favoring any legislation of the character that may be presented in Congress by the California delegation in the Senate and House of Representatives. A considerable portion of the coun- cil's report is devoted to a discussion of America and the Russian soviets and the council says that “America duting the year has fully indorsed the stand of the American Federation g Labor at the Montreal convention” resolving that the federation “is not justified in taking any action which could be construed as an assistance to, or approval of, the -Soviet gov- ernment of Russia as long as that government is based upon authority which has not been vested in it by & popular representative national as- semblage of the Russian people.” The report also says that “as a fac- tor in the industrial life of both Can- ada and the United States the so- called ‘one big union’ has practically ceased to exist” Deer Park Hotel, Maryland. 7.

Harper, president of the Distriot Bankers' Association, at the opening of the third annual convention of the association here today. After devoting Sunday to various sports, including golfing, swimming and horseback riding, the officers of Washington’s principal financial in- stitutions, who arrived here Saturday evening, got down to business this morning. .

Mr. Coates’ paper was a technical analysis of auditing problems. - Mr. Moran presented the report of a special committee appointed by the association to consider means of e couraging thrift among school chil- dren. Much interest in the report was manifested by the bankers, many expressing the opinion that the ass ciation could undertake no more i portant work than to promote sys- tematic saving by school children. President Harper, in the opening ad- dress, referred to the organization of the association twenty years ago by a small group of bankers. -Mr. Harper's Address. “From that small group of men, de- termined to do something worth while, has grown our present substantial and workable association, organized for mutual helpfulness in the bankers’ en- deavors to properly serve an exacting and discriminating patronage,” he said. “The institutions which made up the charter membership were at that time few in numbers, and by no means rich, as worldly goods determine riches.
