PORTLAND, Ore, Oct. 5.-By
The Associated Press.eDelegates to
the convention of the American
Federation of Labor here who are
IN favor of action by the convention
recognizing a farmer-labor party,
notably thoSe from Minnesota, ILL
nois and Pennsylvania, and who
have introduced resolutions favor
ing the movement. have been active
on the sidelines counting noses and
estimating the strength of their
supporters.
The leaders in h movement de-
clare that while they may not be
successful at this convention. they
will continue their efforts to put the
question before labor and that II
there is no action this year. they
will return to the battle in future
meetings.
'It is not likely the movement
will be launched formally at this
convention" said j. F. Emme of
the Central Labor Council of St.
Paul. Numerically we have
enough friends on the floor to carry
1t, but the voting strength in the
A. f. of L. is not measured in hat
way and some of the hostile delega-
lions are sufficiently superior in
number Of votes to which they are
entitled to defeat the issue at this
time.
However. ever though the issue
may fall at this convention the eff
feet of the debate will be felt and
when we return to the next national
convention we will have whitfield
down the margin of opposition still
narrower"
