property owners In the suburb are
preparing 60 ask the Georgetown

would be simple matter To force

FEDERATION OF LABOR
Action Taken at tNecting OF Executive
Committee,

Washington, January 22.-One of the
most important matters considered at
today's session Of the executive coun-
Gil of the American Federation of La
Dor was the question of the principles
of a bill on which the federation
should stand providing for the regu-
lation and limitation of the issuance
of injunctions and to correct the
abuses of the injunction writ by the
courts. decision in the matter will
not be reached until later oa in the
week.
A communication was received sug-
gesting an order of business and pro-
fessional men who are now outside Of
the ranks of organized labor for the
purpose of being chartered by the
American Federation of Labor and
furthering it's movement. The execu-
tive coucil decided that such men
should form an organization if they so
desire, but that, the labor movement
is confined to wage earners, charter
would not be issued to an organiza-
ton composed of others than wage
earners.
