The afternoon session was marked
by hot debate on the report Of the
resolution committee recommending
the rejection Of the resolution seeking
the Endorsement Of the federation
towards the organization of a cooper
atiVe commonwealth based on collect
i've ownership. It was introduced by
the Socialists, and is practically the
platform Of the Socialist Labor
! party. The Debs plan for a common
wealth was also commended The
debate was similar to that over the
famous Resolution No. g. at the last
session, and resulted in like action. The
| resolution was rejected by an over
whelming vote, although the opposi-
ton commended Debs as the friend Of
Federation at the last legislature, in
his report enumerated all the friends
and enemies Of labor In the house and
senate. Twenty-eig resolutions IA
voring labor were, passed, Including
denunciation of Labor Commissioner
Powers and approval Of boycotts on
