LEGION FAVORS STRICT NEUTRALITY ON IE LABOR QUESTION Resolution Pledges Support to Con stitution and Expresses Sym pathy for President Wilson GEN. WOOD CALLED TO FLOOR Says Peace of World Depends on Friendship of America, England and France. Cleveland, Sept. 28.-The second an nual convention of the American Le gion, in session here today, underwent a barrage of resolutions and commit tee reports, and then, when adjourn ment was taken this evening after a nine-hour session ,there were several committees to be heard, reports of which will be brought up tomorrow morning. The stand of the legion in regard to organized labor was not mentioned in the report of the committee on reso lutions. However, a minority report was submitted, which recommended that the American Legion reiterate its well-known position, that it has ho participation in controversies between capital and labor. The American Le gion is not opposed to organized labor when it conducts itself, as we believe it normally does, in conformity with law and order." Heated discussion followed and the minority report was finally amended so that the last sentence was elimi nated. Still the debate continiucd, some members taking the position that the American Legion need not make any statement on the subject, as the conduct of the organization had been such that there was no question where it stood. Others contended that people censured the legion be cause they did not know the exact staid taken on this mater. D'Olier's Stand Endorsed However, a substitute for the minor ity report was read )y California and adopted Iby the coiveition, stating "that this convention endlorse tht statement recently issued by the na tional commIander. Fran'klin l)'Ol ier and accepts that statement as the le gion 's interpretation of its positiot in regard to organized labor." The attitude of the national com mander has been that of "stlict neu trality" in matters havinm: to do wil orgalized labor. This "strict lieItral 4Ny" is what all factions wanltedI, thl hone of (onite'ntion being as to whethei or not it should Ie rea' d ilito the rev 'The stain.11! of the leion reeardin polities was not brought, up todlay The chair-mian11 of the committee i constitutional am edinloi1ts report(4 that, they h.'md .'ot reached a decisim on1 this quest ion, but. would brile: i tomorrow.
