NATI, Ohio, June 19.—Pros- pects of a second contest in the elec tion of the executive council of the American Federation of, Labor at its convention here loomed up today as a movement got under way for Willlam Clarke of Toledo, president of the American Flint Glass Workers' Union, to contest the re-election of Frank Morrison as secretary. No formal announcement of candi- dacy was made by Mr. Clarke, but he indlcated a willingness to enter the race by saying, “I am In the hands of my friends” Likewise, no claims were advanced of pledged votes for Mr. Clarke, which was regarded as indicating the boom was in its early stage. The other contest for the caun- | eph A.

Election of the council is among the last business to come before the con- vention and delegates today expected that it would be held next Friday. Gompers Is Unopposed. No contest for nine places on the council, which is headed by President Samuel Gompers, was in sight today. In addition to the two prospective contests for places on the gouncil a fight was on gor election of two dele- gates to the British trade union con- gress. Mr. Morrison has been secretary for | twenty-five years, his first election | coming at the first convention of the federation, held in this city in 1896 Since then he has been re-elected annually. Prospective Opponent Clarke has been an officer of the glasswork- ers for sixteen years, and in last vear's convention seconded the nomi- nation of Mr. Gompers in the latter's fight with John L. Lewis, the miners’ leader for president. The convention went into its sec- ond week today with most of its most important bysiness awaiting floor consideration. Night sessions during the middle of the week were a pos- sibility when the delegates got back to work, and several committees were ready to bring in reports. Despite the big program of work ahead, the delegates were planning to adjourn early one day so they might move across the Ohio river Into New- port, Ky, where a strike of steel workers has been on since last Oc- tober. ~Several injunctions against the strikers are in force, bu¥ the plans for the “invasion” call for a mass meeting. eration. Lawyers Ald Committee. Another important development aside from the convention proper came today, when a half score of lawyers from all parts of the coungry gathered here to guide the federa- tion's special policy committee in framing a program for combating the Supreme Court's decision in the Coronado coal case, which held labor unions subject to damages under the Sherman anti-trust law. The committee’s report is the special | order of business for Wednesday be- fore the conventio the committee will confer with coun- t! way emploves department federation, heads the commit the Coronado desision is of interest to him because unions in his depariment ar strike votes and openly threatening a walkout of more than 1,000,000 rail workers on July 1 PARMENTIER TO PRESENT U.

Parmen- tler, i head of the Fremeh fiunancial ission in_the United States relative to the French debt, will be prepared ta supply informa- tion only, without submitting any proposals in behalf of the French | government as to terms of payment. His function, it would appear from what has been given out concerning | the approaching visit to the United States, will be limited to spreading before the commission the present ' balance sheet of France, from which, it is assumed here, the French gov- ernment will attempt to convince the commission that it cannot really en- gage to pay definite sums at definite | times. M. Parmentier has changed his sailing date from June 24 to July 1. —_— e OPPOSE STREET PLAN. Chevy Chase Residents Object to Extension of Grafton Street. Hearing that the citizens' commit- tee, recently appointed by the com- missioners of Montgomery county, Md., to look into the proposal of con- necting Chevy Chase circle with Somerset, Md., a mile away, s pre- paring to submit a majority repart favoring the extension of Grafton street to Somerset, a number of citl- zens of Chevy Chase have drawn a petition protesting against such an extension, and approving a minority recommendation that the proposed road follow the roadbed of the aban- doned Glen Echo-Chevy Chase rall- WaY. The Chevy Chase citizens contend that the opening of Grafton street as a vehicular thoroughfare between the two townships would depreclate values of residential properties on | that street, while the railroad right- of-way, south of Grafton street. would cost less to construct, proved land along the route. The citizens' committee, composed of Mayor J. ‘Somerset, Willlam A. Pate, jr., Mrs. Jesse W. Nicholson, is” under- stood to have been divided over the two proposed routes, the male mems bers favoring the Grafton street ex- ([ tension and Mrs. Nichélson holding out for the other right-of-way. The committes will present its majority and minority opinions to the cuunx | commissioners this week, it is state The new connecting road is desired by residents of Somerset, Drummond and Friendship HMeights to afford their children easy access to the Chevy Chi ‘virtuall; it {8 asserted.
