Atlantic City, June 21. Samvtel Gompers was re-elected president of the American Federation of La bor at the convention here and was voted a salary of $10,000 a year. One radical voted against the re election of Mr. Gompers and a hand tul cf delegates sat while the rest staged a demonstration in honor of their leader, who said his election was organized labor's answer to its traoi'cers and .opponents. Second rp importance was the adoption of a resolution directing iho executive council to. investigate and act in. regard to a joint resolu tion now before congress providing for establishment of a conference of industrial heads in accordance with plans recently announced at Washington by Basil M. Manly, joints chairman of the national war labor "board. According to infor mation submitted to the convention the plan would bring together in dustrial heads and labor leaders "to itudv problems affecting cap.tal and' b.bcr and suggest remedial legisla tion." A list of those suggested to repre sent labor as published a few days ago, is headed by Frank P. Walsh, former joint chairman of the board. Mr. Gompers' name was second. Storm of Denunciation. Mei.tion ot the proposed plan brought a storm of denunciation from the delegates, radicals, as well as conservatives. Andrew Furusuth of the seamen's union said that in reality the pro posal if adopted by both houses of congress, meant inauguration of a commission form of government which is a form of governmental despotism that would shackle, not liberate." The convention also voted to send a protest to the Pennsylvania state legislature against enactment of leg islation described by Mr. Gompers as "an effort by certain interests to curb the rights of labor and the masses of the people in Pennsyl vania." The legislation referred to is a so-called "anti-sedition" bill, which it is claimed restricts the right of free speech and free assembly. Adoption of the resolution was regarded as especially significant in view'of the fact that today John Fitzpatrick. president of the Chicago federation of labor,, in charge of the organization of work ers in the iron and steel industry, told the convention that "the right of free speech and free assembly is being abridged to such an extent in western Pennsylvania that offi cials in municipalities in the Pitts burgh district are threatening us with arrest if we hold organized meetings." Burleson Assailed. Postmaster General Burleson again was assailed. A resolution adopted unanimously expressed organized labors disapproval of the zone postal system for second-class matter and "petitioned congress to annul this obnoxious legislation en acted under the pretense of a war revenue measure." Investigation of the entire postal service and rates, former rates to be re-established meanwhile was asked. President Compilers' salary was raised from $7,500 to $10,000 a year over his protest. Secretary Morrison's salary was increased to $7,500 a' year from $5,000. The convention was to have closed today but because of the large number of resolutions still unacted upon was extended into next week. Frank Morrison. Washington, and Daniel J. Tobin, Indianapolis, were unanimously re-elected secre tary and treasurer, respectively of the American Federation of Labor today. James Duncan of Quincy, Mass., was re-elected first vice president, and Joseph F. Valentine of Cincin nati, second vice president. John R. Alpine, Chicago, having resigned as third vice president, the vi:e presidents below him were moved up. Men Operators Trying to Handle Downtown San Francisco Calls ; San Francisco, June 21.

Cutworms in Fields Do Great Damage to Crops in Nebraska Unless drastic action is taken at once to destroy cutworms working on Douglas county alfalfa crops a great loss may be experienced , by farmers, according to County Agent Maxwell. Never in the history of the state have crop-damaging insects been so numerous as this spring, ac cording to Mr. Maxwell, and of all the cutworm has been doing the most damage. "Where there are considerable numbers of these worms some method of control should be adopt ed," said Mr. Maxwell. It has been found that pasturing infected fields with hogs wfill solve the problem where a large enough herd of hogs is available. Another method of combatting cutworms is to mix a mash of 50 pounds of bran and 2 pounds of Paris green with a gallon of cheap molasses, the juice and ground-up pulp of six lemons, and enough water to make a stiff dough. This mixture should then be scat tered over the field. , Cotton Workers' Strike Closes Lancashire Mills Manchester, England, June 21.

During that time the liousr of representatives has considered and passed the six general supplv bills and the railroad, deficiency and general deficiency bills which failed in the closig hours of the last con gress at the end of three mc.'.th.s ses sion. In the consideration and the passage of these bills the houe hs effected a saving of approximately $1,000,000,000 in the amouts carried in the same bills which failed in the session that expired March 4th last. "The savings were in the main on three bills, though there were some reductions on all, and on these three bills, the army, navy and sun dry civil, the reductions were in round figures approximately as fol lows: on the army appropriation bill, $400,QOO,000; on the navy appropria tion bill, $225,000,000; on the sundry civil appropriation bill, $385,000,000.

The re ductions have not been maie reck lessly but after due consideration. "Notwithstanding the 'very great savings that have been accom plished in the appropriations it can be said without fear of successful contradiction that no legitimate es sential or useful public seryice has been injuriously curtailed by the re ductions that have been made. The army and the navy, and the civil services of the nation will, all be adequately cared for and provided under the appropriationsthat have been made by the liouse. , -.-.
