the most strenuous programs in its his
tory, the American Federation of
tAbbr today opened the second week's
tesslon of Its forty-first annual con
rentlon. The Irish question, the rail
road problem, determination of future
i relations with the European trade union
movement, jurisdictional disputes and
jnany other improvement matters were
J'seriedulcd for the action of the dele-
gates.
Whether President Samuel Oompers
would be opposed for re-election by
' John L. Lewis, president of the United
j Mjne Workers of America, had not been
I definitely learned when the meeting
1 opened. Supporters of Lewis, how
ever, were hard at work and asserted
that his candidacy would be announced
within the next twenty-four hours.
. While President Gompers and ad
ministration forces have not taken
Dublic recognition of the opposition. It
was learned that they have made plans
io meet a contest, but ore awaiting the
next move of the mine workers' leader.
Gompers' supporters have held several
conferences during the last twenty-four
hours and taken canvass of the
situation.
Koycolt Resolution to Be Rejected
The complicated situation growing
over the split between the two faction
of Irish sympathizers was expected to
ile 'disposed of today or tomorrow when
J the Resolutions Committee brings in its
1 report. The committee is understood to
'have decided to reject the resolution
urging boycott of British-made goods
I and report favorably the less drastic

Irish republic.

t who declare it the "official resolution of
the Irish Republic, ' declare they will
carry the, fight to the floor of the eon-
ventlon in an effort to overthrow the
committee's report if it is unfavorable.
They said they also would demand a
rollcall on the measure. Sam Evans.

Rail Workers Reinstatement
The request of the United Brother

leuy Shop Laborers for reinstatement in
the federation, it was learned, has the
(all support of all the railroad organi

ship of nearly 200,000 was suspended
tn 1010 because of a jurisdictional dis
Tyjtc with the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners. The carpenters'
union has announced its intention with
Co-operation of the building trades
unions, to fight against the railroad or
ganization's reinstatement.
The question of putting Into effect the
federation's railroad program calling
for "Government control with demo

of the major issues. Delegates of the
nachinists' union and other railroad
organisations declared that they would
dematid that the executive council take
teps immediately toward getting this
DrogTaro under way.

They save space and money,
and oh, how they wear !
Your filing cabinets are made of wood or steel and
they won't stretch. In them you put so many folders to
hold so many letters.
The wear and tear on these folders is not on the part
that goes deep in the file, but at the top the handling edge.
Why, then, should you pay for folders that are made
extra-heavy all over? To be frank about it, there is no
reason. And that is why we originated the L. B. Rein
forced folder.
These folders are made extra-heavy only at the top.
IJote tho extra-thickness strip across the upper edge.
That means long-life and durability. Note that this extra
thickness does not extend down to the part that goes in
tne nie. That means a saving of &A inches of space for
(every thousand folders.
(And oh, how they wear!
You can save a heap of money in the course of a year
by buying L. B. Reinforced folders.
Send for samples to try in your files.
You Usee their practicability at first glance.
