STATE FEDERATIONS OF
LABOR

This branch of the labor movement
was my especial favorite. I enjoyed
attending State Federation conven-
tons more than any of our other
meetings. Even the great National
Craft Conventions did not create the
interest that our state gatherings did.
The first convention I was a dele
gate to was that of the Colorado
Federation held at Denver in 1899,
forty-three years ago. 1t was a great
meeting addressed by many notables,
but none Of them created the interest
that delegation of the Idaho Cour-
de-alene metal miners, just through
with their strike, did. Governor Stue-
nenberg had the soldiers under Gen
eral Merritt come in not to keep
order but to create trouble. You will
perhaps recall that he was afterwards
asSasSinated and the blame put on
the miners, but I happen to know
some of the inside of that-even if
Harry Orchard is serving a life SEN
tence for participation in it. The facts
are as told to me by people who
should know, that the murder was the
result of a private grudge.
800 DELEGATES
The Denver convention was a
large affair. The miners were then
aH-pOwerful in the labor movement
of that state, so we had some 800
delegates and many orators among

Of eligibility for the pacs was made
possible by the Office of the Rub
Der Director in agreeing to allocate

additional production of this type
of footwear.
The supply of these pacs previ-
ously was so limited that all were

ever, in response to the needs of
lumbermen, particularly those
working under extreme weather
conditions, eligibility for the ra-
tioning certificates is now extended
to include .lumbermen engaged in

OPA pointed out that this does
not make laced rubber pacs avail
