 President O'Meara suggested that both Brother Mordecai and Brother Neebe convene with the Grievance Committee and discuss the matter, the Committee to report back to the Convention.

Third Day (Morning Session)

Convention called to order by President P. F. O'Meara at 1915 A. M
 Special order of the day discussion and action on Resolution Mo- 12, relative to the establishment of a Labor paper by the Federation was immediately taken up. Secretary Ornburn explained there were only two labor papers in the state, both weeklies. the Labor Standard of Hartford and the Connecticut Labor News, New Haven. Both are handi- capped by limitations in circulation He stated that he did not believe that any official of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor or individual should control the publication of labor pa per, but rather that 1t should be an state body. He~further stated that if the labor movement would get behind a labor paper it is certain to be a success and that 1000 subscribers in Connecticut would make the paper a profitable proposition, and there are about 6oooo organized workers throughout the State who in all fair ness should support such a paper, However,, if they are satisfied with such papers as the Hartford Courant, New Haven Register. etc., they should so advise the officers before the Convention adjourned
