layed and placed much of the blame
on local officials. Pointing out that
hundreds of thousands of building
trades workers whom the act was in
tended to benefit remain idle, the con-
vention urged the utmost speed in the
program and recommended that local
labor bodies do all in their power to
bring prompt inauguration of work.
A resolution for a federal license
law, introduced by John P. Frey, was
approved and the convention instruct
ed the executive council to make a
thorough study of the legal and con-
stitutional aspects of such a law and
to have bill for a federal license
law introduced in the coming session
of congress. The bill would cover in
dividuals, firms and corporations en-
gagged in interstate business.
Federal Workers ChampiOned
The convention demanded better
ment of working conditions in the
federal government service, includ-
ing 30-year optional retirement, res
toration and liberalization of sick and
annual leave provisions, and express
ed opposition to consolidation of fed
eral agencies and to cost of living as
a basis for fixing wages. The A. F.
of L. was commended for it's efforts on
behalf of federal employees and the
executive council was directed to
continue efforts to bring restoration
of the full pay of government work
ers.
Representation of labor on all
boards created under the national
industrial recovery act was demand
ed, the convention insisting that labor
must insist on thoroughly adequate
representation" Dissatisfaction with
the working out of the recovery act
was expressed by building trades
delegates, who charged that attempts
were being made to lower wages al
ready agreed upon in negotiations be-
tween the unions and the employers.
Adequate Relief Demanded
The report of the executive council
recommending adequate care of the
unemployed was approved. The rec
concentrations include a demand that
congress make adequate relief appro-
priations Immediately upon convening
in January.
The non-partisan political policy of
the A. F. of L. was again approved,
the convention rejecting a proposal
for the formation of labor party.
The convention condemned dis
elimination against older workers,
declared that the right of collective
bargaining under the NRA must be
vigorously protected, protes e
against further cuts in the pay of
city fire fighters, condemned false
economy practices in city fire depart
ments, asked that "just and reason
able" minimum wage rates be estab-
lished for highway work financed in
whole or in part by federal money and
urged a congressional investigation
of the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co.

Washington, D. C. GLNS)-With
broad and comprehensive program
adopted to bring better life to the
wage earners of the United States,
the fifty-third annual convention of
the American Federation of Labor ad-
jourEed here, with President Green
and others calling it one of the great
est and most important conventions
ever held by the federation.

our homes inspired for new service" !"
President Green told the delegates in
declaring the convention adjourned.
I've have shown our capacity and
our determination to run our own
affairs" President Green said later.
eve remain masters of our move
ment"
German Boycott Voted
Outstanding among decisions of the
convention in its closing sessions was
approval of a boycott of German
goods and steamship services to bring
home to the German government the
feeling of American workers against
warfare waged by the Nazis on Ger
man trade unionism and the Jews.
The boycott was voted by shouted
shorus of "ayes," after the conven-
ton had listened to stirring address
es by President Green and Selma M.
Borchardt, delegate from the Amer
lean Federation of Teachers.
President Green gave a moving ac-
count of the destruction of the Ger
man labor movement, which he de-
clared was one of the finest and great
est under the sun. Pleading for more
than protest by American labor
against Nazi tyranny and terrorism,
he said:
ut is not enough under extraor-
dinary conditions of this kind that
we merely voice our protest. That is
not sufficient because it carries little
weight, but l say to you, my friends,
that if we declare that the people of
America will refuse to buy your
goods and ride on your ships, we will
then strike at the heart of this
terror"
Use of Boycott Defended
At the end of President Green's
address, the entire convention arose
and applauded.
Miss Borchardt said that she was
rising to plead for the real Germany
the Germany which has given leader,
ship in science and material progress
which has given labor movement
"insiperd and inspiring" She told OF
facts she learned about the Hitler
terrorism during visit to Europe
last summer, saying she had spent
some time among the refugees outside
Germany, because it was only from
them that the truth of conditions ir
Germany can be obtained.
Miss Borchandt defended the use
of the boycott against Germany, say
| ing that it was a characteristic trade
union weapon. "The boycott is the
only message that can get across te
those Germans" she said. Censor
ship prevents their getting any other
message"

cry Act Makes Mandatory Employers Recognition of
Workers Freedom of Organization.

Milwaukee, Wis. (ILNS)-By Sc
curing a court injunction restraining
the Simplex Shoe Co. from interfering
with and using intimidation to pre-
vent organization of its employees, the
Winconsin organized labor movement
has achieved significant victory and
made a definite contribution to the
labor movement of the entire country.
The decision of Circuit Judge John
j. Gregory in granting the petition of
the Wisconsin State Federation of La
Dor, the Boot and Shoe Workers I'M
ion and members of the local union of
the latter organization for an injunc.
tion against the shoe company has ma
tion-wide significance, because it is
the first court action defining the Ian
guage of Section IA of the national
recovery act granting the workers the
right to organize free from intimida-
tion and interference by employees.
Declaring that Substantial and IT,
reparable injuries to the workers
rights will follow unless the injunc-
tion is issued" Judge Gregory in
clear-cut language convicted the firm
of violating the labor provisions of
Section IA of the NRA, and of estab-
lished law in Wisconsin that "if a

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-"Meet-
of all American history, the American
Federation of Labor has made a rec
ord of which it may be proud" said
President William Green, of the
American Federation of Labor, as the
organizations fifty-third convention
came to a close.
"We go forth from this convention
equipped to meet the tremendous is
sues of the coming year. In times that
are so fraught with change and with
the portent of change as to sweep
many from their moorings, the labor
movement has appraised men and
movements with logic and calmness,
refusing to be swept off its feet, re-
fusing to be swerved either to the
right or to the left. Our movement
remains the hope of democracy, the
vanguard of its militant forces.
AT this hour the recovery admin
istration is the great handspring of
our whole industrial existence. We
have voted full support to the recov-
cry administration, but we have re-
fused to extend that approval to its
mistakes. We have criticized as free

urged that every other recourse be
first tried, and that the strike be
matter Of last resort.
"There are fewer strikes today than
in any other period of recovery, and
in this we are supported by Gen.
Johnson and his statistical experts, as
he himself told us. We have given
notice to the nation that we will re-
sent injustice, and if there is to be

those who perpetGate injustice, not
upon those who seek to correct it.
