Membeérs, of the public ‘group at- iempted to'cffect a compromise by the substitution of the words “associations of their ow: choosing” for “trade and labor unions” in the clause of the £roup’s resolution guaranteeing work- ©ors ihe right to organize, and the five labor representatives on the general committee of fifteen spent two hours in joint meeting with the public ex- plaining labor's - objection 1o the change. This amendment was' intro- duced by Mr. Chadbourne, but the pub- lic zroup alone voted favorably. When the original Russell-Endicott resolution came up for discussion in the conference, Samuel Gompers, pres- ident of the American Federation of Labor, declared that the withdrawal of the support of the public group was due to an interpretation of the words “labor and trade unions” by one of the labor group, who is allied with organ- ized labor, and that the phrase ex- cludes all but one of a federation of labor organizations. It was said that the reference was to J. J. Forrester, alternate for Bert M. Jewett, ‘acting president of the railway employes’ de- partment of the federation. KRONSTADT NOT ATTACKED BY BRITISH NAVAL FORCES . London, Oct. 21.—(By The A. P.) Kronstadt ‘has not been attacked and will not be by the naval forces now in the Baltic, and if the Bolsheviki. evac- uate the ' fortress before Petrograd tfalls it will be a great surprise, ac- cording to “an admiralty statement given to The Associated Press today. The admiralty, however, expects that Kronstadt will surrender soon af- ter Petrograd is cabtured, probably to the British fleet in those waters. Mes- sages received by the admiralty from Admiral Cowan, the British comman- der 1n the Baltic, up to tonight, do not mention the white flag incidént at Kronstadt. Admiralty officers. who have had ex- perience witi:. the Bolsheviki, would notbe surprised if the white flag real- 1y had been run up on the fortress, as has been done in other instances, b: irresponsible persons in_the Bolshevik ranks. At present the, British fleet of light cruisers is keeping at a respect- ful distance from the heavy batteries of Kronstadt, unwilling to get within range until confident that the Belshe- viki mean to surrender.
