An incident which reflects great
credit on the labor organization of the
country occurred at the late convention
of the American Federation of Labor
in Louisville. KY. The National
LIQUOR Dealers association came be-
fore the convention with a formal pro-
posal that the two bodies form an Of
fensive and defensive alliance. The
liquor dealers were ready to agree, in
the event of this coalition, to employ
only union %bartenders and walters. and
to sell union-made beer. For a time
it looked as If they might persuade the
labor men, but a delegate from Illinois
arose, and in q stirring speech recalled
the influence Of Miss Frances =. Will
lard on behalf Of organized labor, and
urged the convention in her name to
reject the proposition. When the vote
was taken its was almost unanimously
AGAINST the alliance. The Knights OF
Labor have also taken the same ground
- course which will add more
strength to the organization than
would be q million dollars in its treas
