Cincinnati, Ohio.-The delegates to
the American Federation of Labor
adopted with enthusiasm the recon-
mendation of the committee on state
organizations that all affiliated units
cooperate to prevent the enactment
of reactionary state laws affecting
labor.
The subject was brought to the at
tention of the convention by the re-
port of the executive council that "a
repetition of the landslide of good
labor laws enacted in 1887 was per-
haps not to be expected in every long
legislative year, but the output of the
"A legislatures that met this year
was meager if not downright reac-
tionary."
To meet this emergency the con-
vention urged "that all organizations
cooperate with the State Federations
of Labor in their continued effort to
combat all reactionary legislation hav-
ing for its object the restriction of
the normal functions of trade unions,
and press for the enactment of re-
medal and protective legislation for
all wage earners"
