Montreal, June 10. The Ameri can Federation of Labor in its an nual convention here today wiped out the "color line" and warned its affiliated international unions that negro workers must be given full and equal memoersnip witn wintering tne problem of financing be men. Pf .l. r u- a.. i..u - u. The federation's action came at the end of a stormy session which nearly resulted in a "race war" be tween delegates from the southern states and the negroes and their sympathizers. , Rejecting the recommendation of its organization committee, the fed eration for the first time in history threatened the autonomy of an af filiated union by requesting the brotherhood of railway clerks to give the negro freight handlers, ex press and station employes, full membership aud eliminate from its constitution the words "white only." Indignation of the negro delegates was aroused several limes during the debate when speakers referred to them as "nigjor" freight handlers and their objection to such remarks was sustained by the acting chair man, James Duncan. An appeal to the workers to de sert the federation and align with the one big union spread broadcast through the city today, asserted that crift uni.ni'sm. was "doomed." The circular, addressed to "all fel low workers," and warning them that the "satellites of craft union ism" were in their midst was the first open attack on the American Federation by the one big union or ganization in Canada. MRS. HARDING IS NOT ANXIOUS TO l BE "FIRST LADY" "He's the Most Wonderful Man." Says Wife, Who Doesn't Crave Honor. By LEOLA ALLARD. Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee teased Wire. Chicago, June 10. "I am content to trail in my husband's limelight," said the wife of Warren Harding, senator from Ohio and candidate for president. "But I can't see why any one should want to be president ;n the next four years. I can see but one word written over the head of my husband, if he is elected, and that word is 'tragedy." "As a matter of fact I would much rather hve him senator than presi dent. Being senator and being a sen ator's wife is a really wonderful life. Of course, now that he is in the race and Wants to win, I must want him to, but down in my heart I am sorry." This most democratic of women, stunning, smiling and delightful, says she has one fad, her husband. "He is the most wonderful man in the world," she told me. "He can differ with people without offending them. His smile, so his friends in Washing ton tell him, should get him any thing he wants. "Of course . we haven't seven daughters, but that isn't any reason why we should be barred from the White House. We wish we had seven. We haven't any, but the sen ator flirts with every baby he sees, and he always stops to say some thing to the little folks he meets. "I've lived with my husband for 26 years and I know him. I'm not talking for effect. He is all the things that I say he is and more. The only reason I want to go to the White House is because, it is his wish." In regard to Mr. Johnson and the report that he will bolt the conven tion, Mrs. Harding said: "I don't be lieve he will. I don't think it is his intention. "Vhat they are doing is bluffing, so as to get the nomina tion. They want to force it by threatening to bolt." Greenwood Burglar Is Convicted at Plattsmouth Plattsmouth, Neb.. June 10.
