The American Federation of Labor
opened a two-week convention to-
day prepared to attack the Smith
Conally anti-stlike law, the new
Florida and Arkansas anti-closed
shop laws and what some delegates
characterized as stiffening federal
control of labor relations.
A renewal of labor's general no
strike pledge was en- the agenda and
was expected to materialize without
controversy. AFL President William
Green was scheduled to take up his
opposition to proposed labor policies
for beaten Germany while the
general convention planned pro
posalG for q higher minimum wage,
reorganization OF the labor depart
ment and for an industrial recon-
version program.
The theme of AFL Secretary
George Meany'S statement last Sat-
urday, in which he charged that the
War Labor Boal d presumed to know
better than we ourselves as to what
is best for us, indicated forthcom-
ing convention criticism of WLB
