SWISHER (United Press Staff Correspondent) PORTLAND, Oct. 1—Faced with problems of vital import, the action on which will admittedly affect the future of the organization for years to come, the annual convention of the American Federation of Labor was to open here today. Seldom in the 43 years since the labor structure was first founded has the "yearly congress ‘convened with more topics of nation-wide con- cern before it. That the delegates gathered here for the event realized its momentous bearing was evident from the serious mien with which they. approuched the opening session today. Practically every delegate was present when the hour for the first session approached. John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Work- ers of America, was the only notable absentee. He will arrive either to- morrow or Wednesday, it was an- nounced. PRELIMINARY PLANS ARE WELL IN HAND All preliminary plans for the con- vention were well in hand before the first gathering. Introduction of reso- lutions, appointment of committees and other preliminary routine busi. ness was to take up the first day’s meetings, following the regular open- ing ceremonies and speeches. G. A. Von Sehrlitz, president of the Portland labor council, will call the convention to order. Bishop Walter Taylor Summer will invoke the blessing, followed by addresses of welcome by Mayor George L. Baker and Gov. Walter M. Plerce. President Otto Hartwig, of the state labor federation, will speak for his body. Following his speech, President Samuel Gompers of the National federation, will take the chair and deliver his annual address, an ex- temperaneous message, reviewing labor's accomplishments during the past year and pointing out the way for future growth and expansion of the Jabor movement, already numbering 4,000,000 workers in the national organization. SEATTLE COUNCIL IS UNDER FIRE The convention will open today labor council's alleged radical sen- timents being settled. The execu- tive council of the federation con- tinued hearings on the charges yes- terday and last night, but the find. ings were not announced. Belief of those close to the coun- cil is that the Seattle labor or- ganization representatives will be given an opportunity on the floor of the convention to reaffirm their allegiance to the federation—a faith which was doubted when the Seat- tle unionists sent a member of the council to the Third Internationale, in Moscow, and attacked, it was wieged, certain high officials of the national organization, A delegation of Seattle labor coun- cil officials appeared before the exec- utive council Saturday with a de- fense of the charges. Included in the delegation were Jimmy Duncan, for many years a leader of the left wing of Seatthe labor and until the recent dispute, secretary of the council; Charles W, Doyle, who suc- ceeded Dunean as secretary; Phil Pearl, of the Barbers’ union; BE. B, Ault, editor of the council's official paper, William Short, president of the Washington Federation of Labor, also made a statement on the situ. ation in Seattle. “NOT WITHOUT FOES,” GOMPERS DECLARES ‘That President Gompers had the Seattle situation in mind in a state. ment he gave out folowing the hear. ings, was the belief of those closest to him in the labor movement.
