"Resolved, That inasmuch SIS we know
I the charge that Pabst beer is a nom
union made product 10 be utterly false
and without foundation, and believe that

appeal in the interest OF fairness TO the

/ Of organized labor which cannot prosper
under the employment OF such diverse
and unfair methods, 10 the international
Brewers union TO demand that the
Executive committee OF the Knights OF
Labor lift Immediately said boycott, and
4 that widespread public announcement

/ solutions be sent TO the officers Of the
American Federation Of Labor at once
