She was also chosen by Samuel Gompers tochristen the Afol, named after the AmericanFederation of Labor. The United States Ship-ping Board, taking the initials of that bodynamed the ship Afol and Mrs. Conboy willchristen it. An unexpected, but well-received, contributionto the record of the convention was the programbrought in by the committee on education, ofwhich Prof. Charles Stillman, president of theTeachers Union, was secretary. John B. Lennoncharacterized the report as second in importanceonly to the winning of the war. The new educa-tional program thus adopted contains twenty-five clauses. Thus did the convention act on the greaterissues before it. In addition to these things,many other things were done. There were morethan 215 resolutions and in addition to these thereports of special committees and missions toEurope. There were fewer of the typical redresolutions than usual, though they were by no. MRS. SARA A. CONBOY means altogether absent. Borrowing fromEuropes mad career, one delegate introduced aresolution for election of shop foreman as a com-panion piece, perhaps, to the resolution askinga referendum on recognition of the soviet so-called government. Anything that came in with a tinge of cardi-nal was promptly thrown off the pier into theocean. So tightly was the line drawn againstany red incursion that the casual onlookermight have thought bigotry held sway or pre-judice ruled. That was far from the truth. Thetruth was that every issue brought up in the con-vention has long -been studied and that a flashwas enough to determine whether it was in ac-cord with the practices that American labor hasproved sound. It was mature judgment and ripeexperience on the job, not bigotry or preju-dice. No convention has had to grapple with somany mighty problems. None has had to as-sume responsibility so great. And none hashandled with more ease
