Labor F L A Opposes Large Standing Army at Kansas City Convention
At the American Federation of Labor annual meeting in Kansas City delegates nearly unanimous against a large standing army seen as imperialism. Samuel Gompers led the debate while Henry Lloyd presided the resolution demanding protest and action against expansion. Donnelly of the Typographical Union defended expansion but faced opposition from multiple speakers and a final vote with only a few dissenters. The convention also endorsed sending an organizer to southern states, considered a press-foreign mission, and discussed a 80 day navy yard leave proposal, which Gompers cautioned could burden a pending hour bill.
