World League of Labor Urged on Federation Held Way to End War and Bring Prosperity—Unions Plan to Exclude Reds. By Valrmul genie#. Portland, Ore., Oct. 6.—War can be li at prevented and the advancement and prosperity of the workers of the world assured through a league of trades unions, according to John W. Brown of England, secretary and organizer for the International Fed eration of Trades Unions, with head quarters in Amsterdam-Holland. Mr. Brown addressed the convention of the American Federation of Labor today. “The one besetting sin of the Anglo-Saxon race," said Mr. Brown, “is that of running Into smug self complacency. The Interests of the labor movements of the Anglo-Saxons is bound up with the Interests of labor In other countries. “Apart from the communists, the trade union movement has nailed its banner to democracy. The three weapons used are the Industrial weapon, the political weapon and the weapon of the consumers. Reds Given Boot. “The trade union international body that I represent embraces over 23,000,000 workers. In a resolution passed by our organization in May. 1921, any organization affiliated with the Moscow red international move ment was automatically dropped from the federation. ‘We believe in fostering the trade union movement in countries where it is weak.' We cannot take the po sition of splendid isolation. Competi tion In other countries requires that we raise the standard of wages and the standard of living In all civilized countries. They cannot grant an eight-hour day in one country, com peting with a 10-hour day and a 12 hour day In other countries. "We must see fair conditions es tablished for labor throughout the world. Unless we can raise the stand ards of living and wages in other countries, our, own standards will be forced to come down." John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, in a speech, said that his organization found that it was being made a breeding place for a great many policies running •ounter to the established policies if the organized labor movement. Stand by Contracts. "Our union has long stood for the validity of contracts and has insisted on members carrying out such obliga tions when properly assumed,” ,he said. " the-teacher* of false philosophies are able to imbue some of our mem bers with their beliefs and Induce Iheuv to depart from us and follow after false gods.”’ "Boring from within," will receive the official attention of the Ameri can Federation of Labor Monday, it was forecast todhy. Also the con vention is seriously considering the advisability of unseating the borers on the charge that they are enemies of the organised labor movement of America. The chief borer Is William Z. Fos ter, who has failed to put in an ap pearance in Portland because of warnings from the Department of Justice, it was stated. He is repre •ented here by deputy "borers from within.” James A. Duncan, delegate from the Seattle Trades and I-abor coun cil, and William F. Dunne, editor of the Butte (Mont.) Bulletin, and a dele gate from the Butte Central Trades and Labor council, - are two of the delegates who are facing possible expulsoln. Third Party Opposed.
