Prohibition Issue Centerpiece At AFL Convention
In Vancouver on October 15 delegates at the American Federation of Labor meet to decide a firm prohibition stance, elect officers, pick next year’s convention city, and discuss Mexican and Filipino immigration. A five hour debate produced a clear record against compulsory unemployment insurance, with President Green leading the push to address causes of low employment rather than expand federal programs. The session reflected tensions between labor and industry over wage-earner security and policy directions. Nebraska reports a total of 2,173,610 hogs valued at $17,237,885 on farms according to the State Tax Commissioner.
