Part of that resolution opens the wage question, and if that part is eliminated I think the resolution will go through without contention. SECRETARY M ELENDY : Mr. Chairman, I don't quite think I was understood or that the resolution altered by Mr. Simons was understood. I have not until this morning read through the resolutions presented by the committee, nor have I read the resolutions presented by Mr. Simons. The point he made was that among other causes of war are industrial causes. That does not in ‘an the wage system. There is a race prejudice-there are a great many causes of war. I think it is quite proper to recognize that there are industrial causes of war, and that they are important, and I think it is very proper that we should recogniye the force of the workers inter- nationally organized as against this. l'ossibly it might not be well to put it in as a resolution, but simply to move a vote of thanks to these people and a recognition of them. Mk. .I- II. Internet: Mr. l‘resident, we ought not to adopt that resolution here this morning. My judgment is that this convention will lose more or less of its moral force, espeeially with the countries of litirope, to interject a partisan view of any question like this into the record. (Applause) The Committee on Resolutions has done its work and done it well. It has had helore it all these questions. and 1 think we ought to do as other hodies do, that these questions should he 1ln'eshetl out in detail lit-fore the COIH~ inittrre. l s y we cannot thresh it out here this morning;r and I move to lay the resolution on the table. The Chairman, Judge I. ll. Moore, put the motion and declared it lost. ['pon appeal from his decision another 'Z'l'Z'll wore vote was taken and declared lost. Upon \(‘L‘UlNl appeal a standing: vote was taken, and the motion to tahle the resolution was an- nounced as carried.
