LYNCH. 1 Specfal Dispatch to The Star. . DETROIT, Mich., October 8.—Hold- ing of the American Federation of La- bor's convention in the world's center of automobile manufacture bids fair to precipitate a decisive contest be- tween organized labor and the open shop, as typified in industry here. Significance of the situation was not appreciated by William Green, president of the A. F. of L., and other members of the executive council | when decision was reached to hold the convention in this city. A strongly supported movement to bar labor speakers from Detroit churches—an action unique in the experfence of the labor movement— came as a surprise to convention leaders. Employes of automobile fac- ries in the environs of Detroit num- ber about 700,000, and of that num- ber only 20,000 are organized. Challenge Is Hurled. “Detroit is Detroit because of the open shop,” was the challenge is- sued to the /A. F. of L. by John Les- ter Dryden, president of the Detroit Employers’ Association. “Detroit is Detroit in spite of the 1 4he de F» 0L Ia . GAGE OF BATTLE OVER UNION LABOR LAID DOWN IN DETROIT Hol&ing of Con.vention in Center of Auto- mobile Industry Likely to Precipitate Decisive Contest, Says Lynch. This the gage of battle has been laid down. It is the contention of organized labor leaders that all advantages en- joyed by modern workers are due to the efforts of trade unionists. Busi- ness and civic organizations of De- troit have challenged this claim. It was not expected that controversy would be raised by the presence In Detroit of officials of international labor unions, but this has happened. Detroit has doubled in population each 10 years since the century be- gan. Its bank clearings are nearly ten billions. Advocates of the open shop regard this as evidence in their favor. Green Propounds Question. “But if the economic peace and tranquillity*of the automotive industry is satisfactory to the citizenry of De- troit, why has the city elected a trade unionist ‘as mayor for the last two terms?” asked President Green. The American Federation of Labor is likely again to indorse the principle of the League of Nations, in spite of a resolution against this course, in- troduced by Andrew Furuseth of Seattle, men’s Union, and for many vears a chief lieutenant of Samuel Gompers. Delegates from England, France, Germany, Switzerland and Belgium open shop,” replied President Gmnlhave urged the convention to rse 0% the.

Carrying through its program of fin- ger printing all applicants for Govern ment employment to all the large gities, the Civil Service Commission declared today that the improved methods of character investigation of applicants for Government empl ment, of which finger printing is an important part, are proving effiective. During the last fiscal year 1,0 persons in the New England State: comprising the first civil service dis- were barred from competing in civil service examinations. Nine hnu- dred and twenty of these were found | to have made false statements in their | applications regarding the existence of | court records involving moral turpi- tude. Many others made false state- ments concerning age. date of birth, education and experfence, and one| applicant, who said he had never | broken the law, was found to have | 43 arrests against his name. | Comparison of the records of the| very | , commission’s district office at Boston | with those of the commission on pro- | bation which maintains a compilation of all court cases in Massachusetts, had good results in weeding out unfit applicants for Government employ- ment. .

M. C. A. Secretary. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, Mich., October 8.—The American Federation of Laber con- vention faced a new dilemma today in action disavowing the address of a convention guest publicly charged by a number of delegates with having violated the courtesy of the floor. | Members of the exccutive council | of the federation deliberated upon a | possible course of action repudiating | the remarks of Sherwood Eddy, who | was introduced at yes 3 ion | by President Willlam Green as secre- tary for Asia of the International cordially gree#®d by s he took the platform, but soon after adjournment.lahor of- ficers publicly expressed astonish- ment at the natyre and tone of his remarks, and last night blocs of dele gates gathered informally to outline, a program looking to emphatic deni that the address in any, manner re- flected the sentiments of the conven- tion. Green and Council Confer. President Green was in conference | with members of his executive coun- cil until late last night, after having | responded briefly to Mr. Eddy's re-| marks immediately preceding adjo ‘ment. The official minutes of the conven. | tion distributed today did not carry | Mr. Eddy's addre: Only a para-| graph recorded his appearance before the convention. The official text read: “Dr. Eddy addressed the convention. He stated that he was secretary for Asia for the Young Men’s Christian Association, but did not appear before | the convention in any official capacity. During the course of his statement he | gave information in regard to condi. | tions as he saw them in Russia,, France, Germany and England during | a visit to those countries last Sum. | mer. Mr. Eddy approached convention officers for the privilege of the floor. Presented to Mr. Green as an official of the International “Y” organiza tion, Mr. Eddy was promptly the re. cipient of the privileze he sought. | When he launched into a report of an_ industrial survey of Furope, the convention withheld the generous ap- plause it had extended upon his tn- troduction. In concluding, he chal- lenged the policies of the federation on international labor relations and | expressed vigorous disagreement with the repeatedly defined attitude of the federation toward Russia.

BALTIMORE, Md., October 8§ (). — Comdr. J. K. L. Ross, well known turfman and Cana n sportsman, was operated upon for appendicitis at Memorial Hospital Wednes day. The overation was pronounced a success and Comdr. Ross was said to be “resting easily.” Comdr. Ross was brought to tha hospital from his Laurel, Md.. farm a short time before the operation was verformed. the automotive industry i: by the federation. The organization last night u; mously adopted a report of its com mittee on organization which includ- ed a call upon the executive council to launch the move for organization of the motor field. The plan provides for the establish- ment of a special organization, with headquarters in a city in the automo- bile manufacturing zone, under the di- rect control of officers of the inter: tional unions, whose membership braces the automobile crafts. (' would be disregarded for the peri organizing, according to James O'Co nell, president of the metal trades ¢ partment, who explained that the dustry was so extensive in plant distribution and the crafts involved, that o craft international unions difficult.
