Montreal, June 10. The 'American Federation " of Labor (nits annual convention here oday wiped out the "color line ' nd warned its affiliated inter- tional unions that negro Ha' workers must be given full and qual membership with white men. "RACE WAR." " ."' The federation's action came at the nd of a stormy session, which n,early esulted In a "race war" between dele- rates from the southern states and the egroes and their sympathizers. ; , , : Rejecting the recommendation, of its rganization committee the -federation or the first time in history threatened ihe autonomy of an affiliated union '"by equesting the brotherhood of railway lerks to give the .;. negro V freight Jaiidlers, express and station employes lull membership and eliminate from its onstitutton the words "white only," v ' The committee's report of ' non-con-urrence" on the ground that; the' fed-, ration had no power to interfere with he constitution of an affiliated union mediately drew the fire of the negro elegates and those of .several nbrth rn states, chiefly Illinois and" New ork. . '?--;;- jrroe Cnarg. ". There fits a sharp "exchange of -ora- ry in - wmch the negrroes chargea ' utioB .'rithtut representation' : and dscWmlnationV to which, their. oow-; rents replied with accusations and be- raya.1 by.Aegro workers of the whites n past labor disputes. -; : Indignation of the negro delegates was aroused several times during the liebatewhen speakers referred to them nigger" freight handlers and their bjectlon to such remarks was sustain ed by, the acting chairman, James Dun- lean. Tney charged that tne use or tne word "nigger": .was a. slander to the race. Frank Morrison secretary of the American Federation of Labor made an unsuccessful attempt to halt the debate by explaining that arrangements were under way to get' all unions to ta!f n negro members. ' Representatives of the brotherhood of railway clerks declared they were taking care of the negro question and giving just attention to negro griev ances. They asked the convention to leave the matter, in their: hands for definite disposition. . ' . ," "... ; . Color Line. ; . ; : - . Several motions were . made ' on the floor to demand that the railway clerks abolish the "color line" in its consti tution or forfeit their.; charter in - the federation. One of these1 was' later modified to "request the 'brotherhood to give the negro full- membership.., it. was accepted by an overwhelming ma jority. ...... .; r,ii "This, I believe, will settle the ne'gro problem In our organisation ' for .' all time," said Chairman. ,PP.nean .follow ing the adoption of the motion.; -'''Our affiliated unions must now understand that the color line is abolished." An appeal to the workers to -desert the federation an align with the; on oig union, spread broad . cast through the city todav. asserted that - craft unionism was "doomed." The circular,' addressed to "all fellow workers'., and warning them that the ."satellites of craft-unionism" were in r their" midst. was the first ouen -attack on the - Amer ican Federation by the oho big. union organization in Canada. ;J SOUTHERN DELEGATES .
