 Whereas. this action was not only an offence against the organization. but has done the cause of labor. perhaps. ire deema ble injury, and,
 Whereas, this convention Is compelled to place itself in the proper position be- fore the public. and to undo, so far as possible the harm caused by this dis graceful affair; therefore, be 1t.
 Resolved, By the Alabama State Fed cration Of Labor in Convention assem- blcd. that 1t condemns in the strongest terms the action of the delegates in ques- ton ss prejudicial. to the best interests of organized labor. and offensive to the convention.
 ITO further, place It's stamp of disap- proval on the affair and to ostracize the participants in this or any other such action. the constitution was amended % debar any person guilty of any such ac- ton against the dignity of the body. The State Federation wishes 1t distinctly un- derstood that the convention had been most harmonious during its entire ses-
  of labor until a personal feeling. with which the convention had nothing to do. brought them into personal dimculty: endangcring the lives Of Innocent and peaceful delegates. attempting tc carry out the trust imposed on them by their fellow workmen.
