Federation Narrows Trade Unions Admission Here
Four delegates were absent as the American Federation of Labor began its third day in St. Louis. A key vote denied admission of the Amalgamated Society of Carpenters and Joiners of America, citing potential conflict with the United Brotherhood and safeguarding autonomy of trades.
