By the Associated Prees. LONDON, July 17.—The councll of the league of natlons met in London today for the first time:in two years to grapple with a serles of world problems inatead of dealing with de- talls of establishing the league’s m chinery, which was the council's chlef work at its previous meeting here. Advocates point to this as indicat- ing the steady progress which the *| council has made during the two and one-half years of its existence. The most important subject on the agenda of the council's nineteenth meeting Is ratification of the-A and B mandat which was delayed by America' im to be consulted as to the dil posal of mandates that her in- terests one of the #sociated powers be the mandatory areas. Approval of Mundates. The American agreement with Ja- pan regarding the Isiand of Yap and the recent approval of the Palestine mandate, which seitled the points to which the United States took ex- ception, enable the present council meeting, w! originally was In- lon for dealing with tine mandate, to proceed with the work of approving of the mandates not only of P: also of Africa, biec il's con- sideration will be the report of the , | work of the temporary mixed com- mission on reduction of armaments, questions of reconstruction, world health, refuges and political quel tions, which have been under consid- eration since the league's organiza- tion. In anticipation of a long important session the league has transferred also its entire personnel and ad- ministrative materfal from Geneva. De Leon Presides. It was expected that the Earl of Balfour would preside, but in view of the delicacy of the mandate question the council held t more desirable to h sume the chair. Therefore, Senor Quinones de Leon was in the presid- ing officer’s chair when the session opened. Great Britain was repre- sented by H. A L. Fisher. the min- ister of education, but during the re- maihing_sessions Lord Balfour will be the British representative. The morning session was devoted to organization matters, administra- tive problems and the reparations genda, while the afternoon was set aside for consideration of the traff in women and children, epldemics in Russia and the eastern Mediterra- Inean countries. and the deportation of women and children in Asia Minor. “DEADLY” LOCOMOTIVE CRIPPLED IN WRECK Engineer Halts Train at Brink of Precipice After Driving Rod Breaks.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, July 17.—The Ameri- can labor party came to being yes- terday, 236 delegates to the fusion copvention here voting unanimously t6 call themselves by that name. It is made up of the socialists, farm-labor and labor unions of the city, and, according to its sponsors, it is the rst party which has ever induced abor unions to enter the political field on a partisan basis. It nominated a full set of congres- sional, assembly, state senate, judicial and city candidates for offices which are to be contested this fall in New York. These candidates will go on both the socialist and farm-labor ticket as far as the ballots are con- erned, because the new party has not yet been legally recognized and 80 cannot be given a place. Thw convention, which had been in | session two daye, ended last night after several clashes had occurred. One of the disagreements ended only | when delegates from the Station Fire- men’s Union walked out in a_body, objecting to a ruling by the chairman, Alderman Algernon Lee. The con- vention ordered ite candidates to ac- cept no other nominations than that of the party authorized ynder the cmblem of the socialist and farm- labor. Further, It instructed its can- didates if they are elected, to form at once a “labor bloc” and .to work against all other parties to suppress that which was termed the “capital- istic parties of tke nation.” Its motto, the convention “Labor fir The convention in a resolution con- demned President Harding and the Railroad Labor Board for its position in the present rallroad strike.
