body recently went on record as fa-
yOring an amendment to the prohibit
ton laws.
State Federation to endorse that

the Texas organized labor to- the
cause of the vets.
HARMONY REIGNS.
W. +. Carroll. assistant secretary,
says another resolution, also sure 20

ton of central legal agency for Or
ganized labor in the state. This mat
ter was brought before the conv.n-
ton in a speech by Scwall Myer, at
torney for the local labor bodies. NJ.
Carroll considers it of great import
ance, in order to watch the trend of
decisions in courts, which Mr., Myer
said were tightly drawing a ring
around organized labor through the
exercise of the injunction process in
labor disputes.
George Slater, executive secretary
says the convention is so harmonious
that the various committees to which
resolutions are turned will make every
effort to word them to please those
who present them and at the sane
time not offend others.
RADICALISM ABSENT.
The convention so far has been sig
nally free from display of partisan
ism or radicalism.
1T is one of the largest conven-
tons We have ever had and there is
plenty of enthusiasm, but / never saw
one more harmonious" Herman Ka-
chel, president Of the Federation.

that our men are all employed nov.
During the year most crafts have had
increases in their scale and they got
them without strife and in perfect
accord with their employers. There
is good feeling on the part Of all
workers toward capital. and the out
look for Texas and labor was never 80
promising. That makes us all fell
fine, and there is not sign of the
old bitterness that used to prevail in
our state gatherings"
