LABOR FORCES EXPECT TO END SESSION TO-DAY
 
They Have Passed Many Important Resolutions Breaking of Sam Kap- Ian in New York Was Feature s,t

Cincinnati, Dec 1.-(UP)--The American Federation of Labor, with its major issues written into 2 program for next year, prepared today to speed the ai1ual conven- ton to a close, possibly by tonight
 DeIegates were weary following lengthy debate, especially on the unemployment insurance proposal which was adopted. Favorable ac- ton on this plan and q pronounce. rnent for immediate modification of the Volstetad act and repeal of the 18th amendment featured yester- day's session.
 The federation's stand on pro- hibition repeal was the first time In it's history that such action has been taken. Hitherto labor has been content with urging 2.76 per cent beer.
 The resolution read: !.
 we have reared the fruits of prohibition, and the nation has fol- lowed the lead of organized labor in repudiating these fruits. What America needs now Is the speediest posisble return to sanity, the manufacture, transport, and sale of wholesome, palatable beverages. n-intoxicating in fact, and we recommend the repeal of the 18th amendment as rapidly as that can be brought about"
 The unemployment insurance plan calls for enactment of laws but individual states. It calls for employers to set aside per cent of their payrolls toward the tn- surance fund. A $15 week bene- fit, or one-half of workers salary could be drawn by an employe upon losing his job under the ifi- surance plan.

the making Of another Around the
