HE DOUBTS HIS AUTHORITY.
Pcnnypacllcr Asked by Labor Fedora
ton to Issue Supplemental Call
For Assembling of Legislature.
(By The Associated Press. J

Pittsburg. Nov. 22.-One of the
most interesting features of today S
sessions of the American Federation oil
Labor convention was the reading of
a reply from Governor Pennypacker to
the convention asking that he issue q
supplemental call for the extra session
of the assembly, which would include
certain legislation IN the interest of
labor unions and employers liability
laws The answer stated that the au-
thority to issue such a supplemental
call was seriously questioned and ad-
viSed the convention to get legal adj
wise on the matter.
1t was unanimously decided to have
the eight hour work day measure re-
introduced in Congress and also to
have bills presented to all the States
legislatures prohibiting the employ
ment of child labor.
1t looks as though there would be
but two chances i'm the officers this
year. These will be the retirement OF
Fifth Vice-President Kidd and Eighth
Vice-President Spencer. 1t is possible
that the election of officers will be
reached tomorrow. For first time in
the history of the Federation. the con
vention will adjourn finally without a
banquet
