tenn of Organization OF A. r. of l..

Milwaukee. Wis, Sept. 1l.-The trst
step in II movement which may result
in dividing the American Federation

erations and TO establish a quick sys-
ten of boycott The proposition out
lined will be submitted to state organ
izotions of the Northwest among them
Colorado and Nebraska, both of which
sent communications indorsing any
plan the meeting might decide upon.
State federations are to submit any
declaration of n boycott to the central
organization. the litter to submit the
boycott to other state organizations for
ratification. If the boycott is declared
inst. action will be taken by every
state organization and pushed with
yicor The proposed organization is to
work in conjunction with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and the Ma
tional Trades Union. The plan, the
leaders say, Will prevent many unwise
boycotts. and. by reducing the number
of boycotts. will make them more dan
gerous to employers and lead to more
freouept arbitration.
Delegates Were present tonight from
Missouri. Michigan. Iowa. Minnesota,
