Maryland land workers and farmers union congress held
A statewide convention of the land and labor congress gathered delegates from 22 trade and farmer groups for a full day of sessions in which resolutions urged labor code reforms, public works, tax changes, education shifts, and anti eviction measures. Speakers pressed for wage increases, cooperative farming, and broader social protections amid a growing push for state control of banking and public utilities.
