tarys report. Tifty-fve delegates were
seated.
Unempl oymrn was estimated at
nearly 50 per cent, except in factories
selling cloth hats direct to retailers,
where normal conditions were said to
have been restored. For this reason it
was decided to postpone indefinitely all
action on the organizations proposed
cooperative factories, except for an
educational campaign.

to the expulsion of the cap makers
from the American Federation of Labor
in 1918, would be settled soon. Much Of

that it may lead to some concerted
