President Gompers was compelled to. Uke tbe floor in support of the league* when It became apparent tibat the dele- 1 ptw were swinging to the opposition.

Dan McKlHop, of Seattle, led the op UUsltlon to the covenant bemuse, he said, it guarantees the territorial in tegrity of the British empire. He also declared timt the American working mail doe? not understand the "full meaning of this league."
