Compulsory arbitration was overwhelmingly con demned by the American Federation of Lnbor today in the adoption of a section of the executive council's report de manding better social and industrial condition".

Without comment the convention went unqualifiedly on record in fuvor of Sec retary l.nuo's plan to put fighting men back on the soil, the government "to provide them with suitable farms on which to pursue the science of agri culture." After more thnn an hour of debate with the insurgents lighting to the last. the convention adopted the executive council's recommendation for the ex clusion of immigrants during the period of readjustment, with nn amendment of fered by James Lewis, of the mine workers, that the principle applied also to Mexican immigration. The outcome of the fight is considered a big victory for the administration. Chairman Walsh, of the committee, said thnt barring of immigration Is necessary to insure employment for re turning soldiers.

The white unionists in Balboa assert that organization of the hordes of alien negroes, 27,000 of whom now are em ployed on the Pnnamn Canal and rail road, will make their employment per manent, reduce the cniial territory to a AVo&t Indian basis and ultimately elim inate American citizens from employ ment.

Mr. Oompers hns not nt any time at tempted to stifle 11 free expression of opinion, but he has prevented the pro longation of debate by recognizing a demand of "question."

BUSINESS AND BENEFIT Ily the Associated Press Mount Clemens, Mich., June 10. Henry Ford, suing the Chicago Daily Tribune for St. 000.000 on n charge of libel, was called to the witness stnnd for n few seconds today, lonfc enough to sa : "Theodore Delnvlgnc was my publicity mnn." He then re turned to his chair behind hl.s law yers. Mr. Ford was called in connection with a letter written by Delnvlgnc thnnking Henry A. Wise Wood, of New York, for the manner in which he had expressed Mr. Ford's sentiments in n newspaper story quoting Mr. Ford. Mr. Wood was on the witness-stand yester day and again today, when the JJcln vigne letter was introduced by Mr. Stevenson, attorney for the Tribune. Counsel for Mr. Ford told Mr. Steven son that Mr. Ford hod no knowledge nf the letter. Karlier in the day Mr. Wood had characterized leading paci fists as "rotten Americans." Mr. Ford heard himself called a "rotten American" by the witness. "You frequently use the term 'rot ten American.' " said Mr. Lucking, attorney for Mr. Ford. "Do you con sider that the hnlf of the population wlio disagreed with your preparedness ideas were 'rotten Americans'?" "I do not." said Mr. Wrfod. "T have never said so. What I say is that the men who tried to educate the pub lic to unprcparedness were rotten Americans." Mr. Ford's placid gaze at the wit ness did not change. Mr. Wood was questioned by Luck ing nbont the conversation between him and Ford on the ?."i-a-dny minimum wage. "It was my impression thnt Mr. Ford considered it a good economic proposi tion, not humanitarian," said Mr DEAR FOLKS: LET me tell you about a Wilson & Company party i given by the members of the Fellowship Club of the New York plant at the Waldorf: Hotel last Wednesday night. Itwas given in honor of Thomas E. Wilson, president of the company,who recently returned from Europe, where he visited his branch offices there. He made a special trip from Chica go to fraternize with his fellow workers in New York. The New York Fellowship Club has an active membership and the members are very proud of it, so they wanted to show Mr. Wilson how it measures up alongside of the other Fellow ship Clubs that exist in other plants around the country. But most of all, they wanted to show Mr. Wilson how much 1 they appreciate his efforts in grouping his 25,000 workers in to one big, happy family where all share in the generous distri bution of good-will, rewards and privileges. I think it is great that one man has the power and ability to lead so many people into pleas ant paths and make them proud in his leadership. The evening party opened with a performance by a minstrel troupe composed of workers, whose singing and acting and ! conversation delighted the ! members and their wives who were present. After this part of the program had been car ried out Mr. Wilson was intro duced and the cheers that greeted him certified to his pop ularity among his fellow-workers. It is easy enough to detect the dif ference between a genuine and a forced ovation; one is spontaneous; the other shows it is given because it is expected. When, however, hundreds of men and women stand and cheer and ap plaud and wave handkerchiefs and do so impulsively and heart fully then there is no doubt about the spontaneity of it, nor is there any doubt about their liking and honoring the man. Mr. Wilson talked to them very briefly, but he said what was in his heart to say, and he said it so sin cerely that his fellow-workers knew that he meant every word. The secret of Mr, Wilson's success in his great business of supplying people with his company's CERTI FIED r'UUU i'HUUUtJTH such as hams and bacon, canned meats, vegetables and table delicacies all backed up also by the slogan "THE WILSON LABEL PROTECTS YOUR TABLE" is due to the faith he has in his fellow-workers and to their faith in him. He says so they say so and that's all there is to it except, of course, that all feel their responsibility in the prepara tion of the Wilson & Co. products just the same as they feel bound in honor to play on the level with ono another. It Is out of the question for people living In the name household to act true-blue in one direction and false In another and In this particular household, don't fortret. there Is absolute harmony as affecting the spirit, tne thoughts ana me action or every memDer tnereor Mr. Wilson remained with his fellow wrrkerM as one of the liveliest and most acreeable members of the partM until th0 Kiratilnkr'n rrnvatiaa antlaA And so Koes alone merrily and happily the building- of a great organization In matter more, important han mereCdlJ buslnesa calculations. . - - -' ' . i. t tit M I atnm.faitH IvaI,.. -ri(iid 41 IVM.mktf'-! bm i . a,(n.9. wj j wm. ... .. .....

' "Don't you know that Mr. Ford hnd thousands and thousands of applica tions for jobs because of his reputation for fair dealing?" he was asked. "I hava read so," r "Don't you know it fa so?" "No. Machinists prefer to drive their machinery: not to be dfiveti by it. I have lienrd the men In my own shop tnlk thnt wny."

Appearing before the Senate naval committee to day to urge an increase in the appro priation for naval aviation from $115, 000,000 fixed by the House, to ?1V 000,000, Secretary Daniels attacked proposals that the air services of the Army, Navy and Postoffiee Departments be consolidated under n cnbinct officer. "T consider this plnu most unwise," snid he. "Navnl nvintion should be ns much a part of the. Nnvy Department as the Bureau ot Naval Ordnance. Air craft arc needed ns much by the licet ns arc destroyers or submarines. The service in one department would be im measurably weakened." Mr. Daniels said from his observation while overseas recently, Great Pritain hnd found n joint air service unsatis factory. In urging a larger appropria tion for nviation, the secretary declared ho considered "it a calamity, or, at the very least, a. great mistake, that Con gress should compel the nir service to mark time for the next year while other nations nrc giving all that is nsked." It only .$15,000,000 is appropriated, the secretary said, construction of lighter-than-nlr craft will be stopped entirely and further development of heavier craft will be greatly curtailed. . ,i I ir,i ikMllllliriliMlilililiiiiM AiiWiUiJiliHmliliififlffv WE'LL MAKE YOUR OLD BRASS BED NEW REASONABLY.
