Denver June 21 United News reports the American Federation of Labor delegates adjourned for the day amid debate over an Irish freedom resolution. A boycott on British goods was debated, with G. E. Foley advocating the boycott and Christian M. Masden proposing an amendment. President Gompers ruled the point of order valid, and the convention adjourned until Wednesday.
