Philadelphia, Nov. 17.-An attempt
to place the American Federation OF

the committee on organization, which
had reported 1t favorably. The res

delegate from the Central Labor
Union of Hartford. Conn. It recited
that at the present time there were
national and local unions not afliliated
with the federation. that they were

that efforts to have them affiliate had
