LABOR WILL ATTEND
CONGRESS SESSIONS

Organized labor has mobilized its
force for the coming session Of con-
gress and an organization Of fully
75 labor legislative representatives is
already on the job.
The first meeting Of the American
Federation of Labor Joint Legisla-
tive Conference already has been held
and before the new congress opens
a second session will be held.
Tn Joint Legislative Conference in
cludes the legislative committee of
the American Federation and the Leg
islative representatives of all bona
fide trade union organizations that
maintain such representatives in
Washington. The conference repre-
sents six million trade unionists.
Following the first session of the
conference President Gompers ex-
pressed his satisfaction at the prog
ress achieved and his hope that the
conference would be able to contrib
ute much to the advancement of la
boris cause during the coming session
of congress. He said:
Consider Legislation.
1.-THE entire legislative situation was
canvassed by the conference. Partic-
ular attention was conferred on immi-
grafton legislation. The present i'm
migration act expires on June 30 and
therefore immigration legislation
must be considered at an early date
by the incoming congress.
"Child labor also was considered,
the conference being pledged to work
for a constitutional amendment on
that subject. A special conference
of the Permanent Conference for the
Abolition of Child Labor, consisting
of Is national organizations, will
help make plans in that connection.
"Fully a dozen other important
legislative questions were discussed
and three committees were appointed
to make special studies on important
matters. The probable strength of
the forces that will favor constructive
and progressive measures was consid-
cred. Members of the conference ex-
pressed themselves as hopeful that
the session will be productive of al
least some important legislation OF
benefit to the masses of the people.

dren Of one of their number whose
life had been "snuffed out" in an
accident, until December 1, 1923, a
magnificent institution has been de-
veloped.
Recognizing that their calling was
hazardous one, and that the perils
to life on the rail were ever present,
these II men banded themselves to-
gether into what they termed Deer
Park Lodge No. of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Firemen" and pledged
themselves to stand together for the
purpose of extending relief to the
disabled and afflicted members and to
the families of deceased members.
Since then the organization has
spread and not only covers relief to
the members and families of members
but wages, hours and conditions on
the job.
Since the Inauguration of the cam
paign for q 100 per cent organiza-
ton on January 1, 1928, the Broth

total of 3o,139.
By November /, the membership
totalled 117,724, or practically 100
per cent of the men employed at the
trade in the United States and Can
ada.
Success of this campaign marks
one of the most remarkable achieve
ments in the history of the American
