THE OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: NOVEMBER 21, 1915, hotel | country run from the University of 1daho IS FACING BREAC Resolution to Suspend Carpenters’ International Union Causes a Sensationa] Debate. COMPROMISE IS AGREED UPON BAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Nov, 20.— The American Federation of Labor, in the closing sessions of its thirty- fifth annual convention today, faced the problem of attempting to heal a breach in its ranks that developed at the session last night, which in the language of prominent officers and delegates threatened the disruption of the organization. The trouble arose over consideration of a resolu- tion that, had it been adopted, would have meant the loss of 200,000 mem- bers of the federation. The resolu- tion, offered by the adjustment com- mittee, called for the suspension of the United Brotherhood of Carpen- ters and Joiners, the second largest international union in America, ‘The resolution to withdraw the charter 6f the Oarpenters’ union was the result of the failure of the organization to re- frain from alleged encroaching upon jur- isdiction awarded the machinists, coupled with the Carpenters’ unlon's attitude to- ‘ward the federation. Gompers Pleads for Moderation, In the coufse of the debate Samuel Gompers, president of the federation,, said: “We are not safe from disintegration ' And fallure it we lose sight of the ideal of human brotherhood.” John B. Lennon, opposing the expulsion of the carpenters, said: ““We are not safe from disruption.” Andrew Furuseth, secretary of the Sea- man's Union of the Pacific Coast, de- clared his bellef that the Carpenters’ waa deliberatoly seeking to compel the federal to withdraw the charter. During hour in which charges were urled and speaker after speaker with bad faith, the big carpenters sat sllent. accused of dis- up machinery in ities and with claim- right to do sueh work in de- the express commands of the convention in Philadelphia in his speech sald: “I prefer that the clatm put forth by earpenters i put up scientifically purposely to bring about expulsion.” Compromise Agreed Upon. George L. Berry, president of the Print- union, offered a substitute adjustment committee's resolution. & committes of five rop- ‘ Evidences of Swath of Slaughter Cut Through and About Cham) agne and Ypres Are Describe ! | {EFFECT OF HIGH EXPLOSIVES } Correspondence of the Associated Press.) | CHALON, France, Nov. 15.~There |wer still wreckage enough remaining on the battlefield of Champagne three weeks after the battle was fougnt to give some idea of the havoe of destruction when it was fresh after the ad .

In some places the wave swept on beyond the trench like:the tide running up an inlet. The Germans be- tween much forces were caught in a pair of pincers, This accounted for the pris- oners who wore taken in batches. They were surrounded by infantry with no way of retreat opem to them. Only Littie Things Remain, “Only the little things now remain,'" sald a French soldier who was salvaging La Poche, the pocket in the famous Trou Bricot sector, “At the start, of course, we burjed the dead and gathered up the broken machine guns destroyed by our gunfire. The town of Ypres in the British linea probably remains thé most colossal ex- ample of shell-fire, But Ypres was town. It wasinot bullt to withsand shell- fire, but as home for men in time of peace.

But the French guns showered tons upen tons of ls upon La Poche for those three da; When a chamber was destroyed they g the Germans no time to repalr it. For seventy-two hours the blasts of explosions were tearing at that redoubt—a hurricare .ot all the big call- bres from six to fifteen-inch with some smaller onea thrown In for good measure. Underneath La Poche at the end of a French mine rested a huge charge of explosive. That was fired just before the infantry charged. It carried Germans and " j#andbags heavenward in a cloud two or {hree hundred feot high and left a orater of ut least 100 feet in depth and 160 feet in width. Any Germans who survived were in the pall of dust from it as the French infantry charged over the bare #pace where the barbeq wire had been destroyed by guns which were given this part of the work to do. In ten minutes from the time that the French infantry left their trenches they were in full pos- sessions of La Poch y “It was easy, monsiour,” sald & soldier, “‘easier than some such simpler fortifica- tions which we found later on where the shells had not fallen so thickly, We rushed in and we looked around—for somebody to fight with, But there was no one For most part there was nothing, but the fragments of men; and there were men lying about trying to apply first ald bandages and a few stunded, unhurt.
