A. F. L. REFUSES TO
INDORSE THE GENERAL
STRIKE CALLED JULY 4
Atlantic City, N. J., June 17.?
Following a sharp debate, during
which several of the delegates almost
came to blows, delegates to the
American Federation of Labor convention
here adopted a resolution
late this afternoon retusing to indorse
the general strike called for
July 4 as a protest against the imprisonment
of Tom Mooney, and
censuring the Mooney defense committee
for its alleged efforts to disrupt
the American Federation of Labor.
The resolution, however, directed
the executive council of the American
Federation of Labor to "exert
every effort to bring about a new
trial for Mooney through recognized
processes."
Organized labor struck a blow at
the Bolshevik element in its midst
when the American Federation of
Labor in convention here introduced
a resolutin denying labor's recgnition
of soviet Russia.
This memorial voted for after the
radical element had attempted to
have adopted resolutions calling for
tne witnarawai 01 troops irom kussia
and the lifting of the blockade
in Russian waters, expressed the
convention's "well-considered conviction"
that while the troops ought
to be withdrawn as soon as possible,
"we refuse indorsement or recognition
of the soviet or any other form
of government until the people of
Russia by a constituent or , other
form of national assembly establish
a truly democratic government."
A committee of two was appointed
to go to Toledo at once to confer
with officials of the Willys-Overland
company in an effort to settle the
strike there.

CASE OF NEGRO SMITH
MURDERED NEAR HERE
Nothing of great importance has
developed in the Mark Smith case
since Sunday. The coroner's juryj
met Wednesday and was in session!
about an hour during which time it
examined several witnesses.' One
witness examined was Ralph Davenport
,who was locked up in the county
jail Tuesday as it had been rumored
that he was about to leave the
country. After he was examined
Wednesday he was released.
The coroner's jury is making every
effort to throw light on the crime
and their work is progressing.

I Through modification of the Ger- mu

The above dispatch is the first in- vio

was understood that re-establishment

JESTION OF EX-KAISER'S

TO SIGNING OF TREATY
Paris, June 18.?Second only to
s question of whether the Germans
1 sign the peace treaty in the

s the subject of bringing Wilhelm
henzollern to trial.
Even should the former kaiser
ide the ordeal of facing an intertional
tribunal, the Germans?if!
iy accept the revised terms?must|
mally acknowledge his liability I
answer for the high crime against
ilization.
Renewal of the likelihood of actl
prosecution of Wilhelm was in-1
ated by the statement of the alj'
reply to the German's counter
>psals that they are prepared to :
jjpit a final list of "those who]
ist be handed over to justice withone
month after the signing of
ice." While it is learne from au
iritative sources that the Ameriis
so far have not submitted the
mes of any persons responsible for

law, the European allies are unrtood
to have long lists in the
king.

mbittered Over Disrepect Shown
German Delegates By French.
Whole Draft U Overbearing and
Rough Say Germans?Express
Doubt As to Signing.
*
Weimar, June 17.?The new Aled
terms reached here late last
ight and the first apparent effect
pon the German leaders, was that
f depression. A report passed raidly
through the old castle where
le government heads are residing
smporarily, that the signing of the >
eace xerms Dy liermany was ir.gnjy
nprobable.
Every official and every member
f the foreign office available exressed
the deepest pessimism and re;ntment
at the alleged cruelty of
le terms. i
The Germans were especially em
ittered over a report that a French
tob had stoned the helpless German
elegates at Versailles. '
Telephone Call The
secretaries who had remained
p in the hope of receiving some
ord from Versailles were rewarded
t 11 o'clock by a telephone call
rom Versailles announcing the dearture
of Count von Brockdorfantzau
and the other delegates with <
Hies' reply. It was a moody and
ispirited crowd that heard the telehone
report in the castle of the forler
Duke of Saxe Weimar. The mesige
read as follows:
The delegation has left for Weilar.
A brief view of the document
ount von Brockdirff Rantzau is
irrying reveals the following delils:
The tone of the document is ex-aordinarily
harsh and insulting.
ermany bears all blame and must in '
jnsequence be punished.
It can be glad if it comes out half
ell.
German View of Term*.
"The conditions handed over are
lose of an alleged peace of justice
conform to the Wilson program.
he whole form is extraordinarily
>ugh and overbearing. The original
me limit of five days has been by
:quest, extended by forty-eight
ours. This includes the three-day
rmistice limit. The period of seven
lys expires Monday evening at 7
clock.
"Concerning the contents there
inbe said at this moment only that
it opponents grant us less concesons
than were mentioned in the
aris newspapers of yesterday and
>day."
"The departure of the delegates
icurred amid the shouts ,hoots, and
?r of a crowd which threw stones.
riously wounding two delegates. ,r "
tie crowd acted in the usual French
>odlum fashion. The police made
)t the slightest effort to stop the
