He declared that organized labor Is asking for more and would continue to ask for more." He recommended that organized labor strive for modi- flcation of the Volstead act instead of trying to repeal the 18th amendment. He described the congressional farm bloc as a financial block"

The railroad brotherhoods, which are not affiliated with the A. r. of l.. had delegates present and in the for um session they asked about the. poll icy of the A. F. of l.. relative to the recently organized Non-Partsan Par ty being fsthered by the railroad brotherhoods. MT. Gompers answered that the A. F. of l.. would follow the policy laid down by our conven- tions of electing our friends and de- feating our enemies" and would have no part in any party campaign.
