Labor Federation opens third day with vigor in Louisville
Louisville, Ky. Dec 10 The American Federation of Labor began its third day's session with vigor and moved quickly through six items on the morning agenda. An appeal from the Federation of Labor of Puerto Rico for freedom of speech assembly and press was read and a committee was to visit the island for investigation and organization. A telegram from the W B T U asked help in suppressing liquor traffic. The executive council report took over an hour and only the resolutions committee was ready to respond.
