a general discussion, which was partci-
pated In by the majority of the delegates
on the floor and which lasted for more
than an hour
The general discussion was upon the
resolution which was introduced during
the session Monday afternoon by w. b.
King, representative of the Trades Coun-
Gil of Birmingham and which was to the
effect that hereafter no candidate for
political office or representative of cam
didate shall be invited permitted to
address a meeting of the federation un-
less he held a union card. This resolu-
ton was reported upon unfavorably by
the committee on resolutions, and the
general discussion which followed result
ed in the adoption of a substitute which
was not quite so drastic.
General Discussion
Following the general discussion Presi-
dent Robert E. Gam made his annual
report, which was lengthy and covered
the work of the federation during the
past year. In his report, President Gam
informed the federation he would not
stand for reelection and advocated the
appointment of one delegate to represent
the organization at the national conven-
ton of the Southern Labor congress,
which will be held In Nashville during
September. On account of the financial
condition of the federation and the great
expense which would be attached to it
he recommended that no delegate be sent
to the Seattle meeting. The reports of
various vice presidents and the report of
the secretary-treasurer were then made.
All of the reports showed the federation
to be in a healthy condition, and that
after the expenses of the present con-
vention had been betrayed there would
remain small balance in the treasury,
and that the fund set aside by the con-
stitution for the legislative fund was
steadily growing. With few minutes to
spare before the noon recess was taken
by the convention, Mr.. Robinson of the
carpenters union of Birmingham, who
reached Selma this morning was called
upon to tell the convention of the condi-
tions in the Magic City regarding the
strike of the building constructions work.

The talk made by Mr.. Robinson was
heard with great attention by the fedora
ton, and the speaker was frequently in
terrupted by applause.
