State AFL Backs Lincoln For Speaker
California State Federation of Labor backs Luther H. Lincoln for speaker of the state assembly in a first public AFL entry into the battle for lower house control. Haggerty says labor protection and favorable committee makeup motivate support, opposing Assemblyman H Al Jen Smith backed by industrial groups. Lincoln’s potential power to stack committees could shape labor legislation and finance priorities.
