Labor leaders seek return of federal labor employment bureau
Delegates to the Trades and Labor Assembly Friday night unanimously endorsed reestablishing the federal labor employment bureau in Quincy. They criticized Cham ber of Commerce manager Truman Pierson for antagonistic remarks, calling his stance “sour grapes.” A five member committee was appointed to reestablish the bureau until government funds arrive. The assembly also opposed employing parole convicts at the Soldiers Home, noting only three are employed there. Treasurer Tresen reported a treasury balance of 3509.65 with 8825.65 total assessments. A Mooney Defense League meeting is set for Sunday with Thomas N. Tibbetts slated to speak, and a branch may form in Quincy. Delegates urged unified labor support for a new Irving school building, while painters and letter carriers reported progress in wage and hours talks.
