New Labor Council Would
Free Political Prisoners
Foes of A. F. of L. TO Propose
Amnesty at First Conven-
tiOn in RrOOkIyn

The United Labor Council Of Greater
New York, organized eight months ago,
and now claiming $4,000 members,
began its first annual convention in the
United Shoe Workers hall Bijou
Theater building, Brooklyn, yesterday
1t was said that shoe workers, bakers,
metal workers, cloth workers, leather
workers and building trades workers
we're affiliated with the new organiza-
tion, which is competing with the
American Federation Of Labor for the
favor of the industrial workers Of the
greater city.
Resolutions to be offered to the con-
vention for adoption include one that
proposes amnesty for all political pris-
oners and others, recommending CO.
operative industrial plants, cooperative
stores, recognition of the Soviet gov
eminent of Russia and the lifting Of
the ban on Russian trade.
r. G. Biedenkapp, representing the
Amalgamated Metal Workers of Amer
lea, in an address to the convention last
night declared that labor has been
treated like CATTLE" and that "the
American Federation in it's present
form cannot aid the workingman.
"Longshoremen have been loyal to
the American Federation of Labor "
added Biedenkapp, "but they have
turned their backs to it because of the
treatment the Federation has accorded
them.''
