Texas Labor Federation Backs Waco Strikers and Endorses Clemency
The Texas State Federation of Labor voted 500 to aid striking Waco street car men and endorsed J H Tricks of the Industrial Occupation Board. The convention discussed possible sympathy strikes over Thomas Mooney clemency, but voted against it and urged California Governor to grant clemency. A resolution backed MacAdoo’s railroad control and opposed alien labor on Texas public works. Delegates supported giving soldiers and sailors the vote and a constitutional amendment to that effect. The group planned a night session to finish business and elect officers.
