Labor executives urge veto of Winslow-Townsend bill
The AFL executive committee urged President Wilson to veto the Winslow Townsend bill as a concession to railroad owners. If Congress overrides, labor groups vow to block immediate payment of 600000 due under the Transportation Act and to use every legitimate means. The resolution accuses railroads of refusing general conference with unions, seen as attacks on trade unionism and open shop policy. It also backs Porto Rico workers seeking a congressionally appointed committee to review island conditions and enforce pro worker laws.
