Union Labor Ends Meeting In Quebec Over League Endorsement
The American Federation of Labor adjourned its two week convention in Montreal after endorsing the League of Nations without reservations amid a stormy session. Gompers urged backing the covenant, while Irish sympathizers and the Progressive wing pressed opposition. The federation also outlined a program supporting peace, government ownership of railroads, collective bargaining, shorter work days, and anti profiteering, with plans to push these aims in national politics. The report defended the league as the best path to prevent war, despite flaws, and urged unqualified support from American workers.
