A. F. |. TO SEEK
FUTURE VOICE.
IN LABOR LAWS
Resolution Condemns
Failure to Consult
BY EDWARD B. LoCKETT

BY EDWAhD b. LONhLAA
DENVER, Oct. 8 GN.S)'
Gathering support in the Amer
ican Federation Of Labor Conven'
tior today, was a high-command
resolution, demanding the RooSe'
welt Administration consult the
A. F. Of L. in drafting all future
social and labor legislation.
Sponsored by heads Of the big
metal and building trades divl-
sions, the measure contained a
bristling collection Of darts
directed at the New Deal. It
branded as Justly suspicious"
any legislation initiated without
Federation advice, and directed
criticism at the administration Tor
writing the wages and hours bill
without A. F. of L. consultation.
STRONGLY SUPPORTED
A favorable report on the pro.
posal was nearing completion ana
will be laid before the convention
next week. A checkup revealed
the conservative leadership OF the
A.F. of L. solidly behind the meas
ure.
Metal Trades President John P.
Frey, one of the trainers, said he
and building trades chiefs blocked
the wages and hours bill, and
would exert pressure again II
measures dealing with labor rela-
tions were put forward by the ad.
ministration without federation
okay.
Support of the Frey resolution
revealed A. F. of L. leadership
ieery of "too much Government
regulation of labor relations, as
J. w. Williams. building trades
head, put it.
TOKYO BOYCOTT UP
The Black-Connery wage and
hours act also got a lacing In the
resolution preamble, too, which
said:
The bill as introduced would
have created a governmental
agency influencing, and at its
discretion replacing. collective
bargaining as now carried on by
voluntary associations of wage
earners and their employers.
This priceless right and the
freedom to bargain collectively
with employers would be injuri-
ously affected by any Federal
board or commission, or their
representatives"
Delegates may get chance to
vote on another resolution, placing
the A. F. Of L. behind the British
Trades Union Congress, for a rigid
boycott against Japan as an
aRgressor in the Orient.
