QUICK REFORM OR REVOLT, IS LABORTHREAT Jobs or Serious Unrest Must Come Soon, Is Warning of Green. BY DAN BOWERMAN United Pre* Staff Correapondent VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 6.—The phrase, “Reform—or Revolution!” was raised today as the battle cry of 334 American Federation of Labor delegates as they rounded out a platform designed to end the darkest time its membership has known in a decade. The first of a batch of 100 resolutions embodying organized labor’s policy for the next twelve months was ready for introduction today. Committees worked all night preparing the resolutions, which were kept secret until read to the full convention and docketed for discussion. In a time when 7,000,000 Americans—more than twice the full stregnth of unionized labor—are jobless, the federation will not end its activities with the closing of the convention, leaders said. Green Warns of Unrest “Force the managers of industry to adtion” was the thought expressed from the speaker’s stand and wherever delegates gathered in groups to talk. Jobs or serious unrest must come soon, William Green, the dynamic president of the federation declared. Labor’s program of shorter hours to make work for more men must be adopted to prevent a frantic upsetting of the capitalistic system in an effort to find relief, Frank Morrison, secretary of the federatio for thirty-five years, declared. Morrison and Martin Ryan, treasurer of the deferation, said labor will make no secret of what it wants. The five-day week and sufficient shortening of the eight-hour day to provide employment for every idle man is the foundation of labor’s plan to end the depression. Slap at Wage Cutting Assurance of job security is demanded to release into circulation the savings hoarded by men now employed, but in continual fear of being discharged in wholesale layoffs. An immediate stop to wage-cut-ting on the grounds it is economic suicide, is held essential. And although organized labor calls strikes ’’barbarous,” it will ask of congress a greater right to use that'weapon when it feels it necessary. A sharp limiting of use of court injunction to prevent strikes will be demanded. Unionism, said the delegates, feels it must march back to prosperity with an again prosperous capitalism. “I warn these people who, through force and dictatorship and brutality, exploit the masses of the people,” President Green declared. “They can only drive the people so far, then they will turn and rend them.” POLICE PUSH SEARCH FOR ‘BABY KILLERS' 5 New York Hoodlums Indicted as Other Suspects Are Sought. By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—Police searched the hideouts of gangland today in an effort to round up further members of Vincent Coil’s “mob” of alleged “baby killers.” Five members of Coil’s band stood indicted, and another five, seized at Averill Park and Troy, N. Y., were freed. Coll, branded by the police as a coward and indicted on a charge of murder in the machine gun slaying of a baby July 28, has engaged a lawyer and is held for examination Oct. 15. With Frank Giordano and three mobsters whose names are as yet unrevealed becaus* they are at large Coll is accused of killing little Michael Vengalli in a crowded Harlem street—a killing which was the ruthless aftermath of an attempt of one mob to get revenge on a competitor. HOBOES VOICE PROTEST 1.000 Over Nation to Meet to Criticise Aid Methods. By United Press NEW YORK. Oct. 6.—The nation's hoboes aren’t satisfied with the way charitable organizations are distributing relief, according to Ralph E. Dalton, president of the International Brotherhood Welfare Society, and so 1,000 “knights of the road” plan to meet here next Monday in protest. “The way the charitable religious societies are conducting relief, a man has to go to a Bible meeting in order to get a bed,” Dalton said. “Those who don’t attend the meeting have to sleep on the floor. We think th*s is class distinction.”
