 The Porto Rico delegates invited the convention to held it's next annual ses- sion at the city of san Juan. The announcement was received with aD- p.ause by the delegates. but the c-n- sideraticn of it was deferred until the matter ef the next meeting place came before the convention.
 A number of resolutions to makc the union label more effective were in troduced and adopted. In this connec- tiop the delegates were urged to adopt universal label and organize a league to further this end. A proposition to ask the secretary of commerce and la
 bor to appoint an arbitration board for the settlement of strikes was lost
 by a unanimous vote. There was but
 little debate cn this question, the con census of opinion being that the adop- tion or the meaSuTe would mean com pu!sory arbitration, and the speakers declared that labor had little to hope for from such arbitration.
