rT CONVENTION OPE! CIOUDY TONIGHT AND TUESDAY, PROBABLY RAIN; LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS (= iy W HH i t's | What the A. F. of L. Convention Means HE annual convention of the A. F. of L. starts today. What does that mean? In every city and nearly every village there are men of every conceivable craft who belong to and are true to a “local” union. Every “local” in every given craft is bound to every other “local,” these forming an “international.” Every local and every international | (IE - slain | The SeattleStar *"""!

ONE CENT oh.we'ttinon ne DITION. } |i NO. 219 has its executive officers. The heads of the internationals are members of the American Federation of Labor which begins deliberations today. It is reasonable to assume that the delegates now here are among the most able in their crafts. The blacksmith delegate, the barber delegate, the garment worker delegate, the miner delegate—each has worked his way to the top*of his craft and demonstrated that the quality of leadership in him has fitted him to represent his fellows in the A. F. of L. There are 1,000 delegates, and— They represent 2,500,000 American workingmen and workingwomen. These delegates, backed by the hosts of organized labor, could, if they wished, paralyze American industry in an hour. But that is not their mission. It is well, however, while you watch the deliberations of the A. F. of L. during the next two weeks, to ponder the tremendous fighting force the delegates represent—to ponder, too, the still more tre- mendous fighting force they would represent if the hosts of labor should ever be given complete and absolute solidarity. There is not that solidarity now. Indeed, it would be strange if so many dele- gates, ey ge so many crafts, and drawn from so many widely scattered sections of the country, should not have difference of opinion. To thresh out those differences of opinion is what the con- vention is for. To accurately forecast the events of an A. F. of L. convention is not possible. But this much is certain: The issues are vita!, and the out- come of the forthcoming battles on the convention floor will touch, not only the lives of the 1,000 delegates, not only the lives of the 2,500,000 skilled Workers whom they represent, but your life, and your neighbor’s life, and the lives of all of us. The hosts of labor watch and wait. And no congressman at Washington, with his ear to the ground, solicitous as to the state of his fences “back home,” is more sensitive to the changing temper of his constituents than is the delegate to the A. F. of L. convention. At no time in its history has organized labor sustained so many assaults from its natural enemy than in the year just past. The story of the year is punctuated with strikes, rioting and martial !aw, criminal prosecutions, swift blows and swifter reprisals. No one watches the convention in Seattle with keener interest than labor’s natural enemy---the enemy himself so well organized that his power placed in the scales with that of the A. F. of L., almost strikes a balance.
