Central Labor Union weighs Rowley case and boycott stance
The Central Labor Union discussed the case of Frank Rowley the former railroad worker who lost both legs after a railway accident. He alleges mistreatment by Indianapolis authorities including a vagrancy fine while his pocket held money. A grievance committee found the facts as Rowley stated and urged action, while critics argued about judicial procedure and possible police workhouse connivance. The union also debated boycotts tied to the eight hour law and the Washington Street Bridge project amid reports from delegates at the American Federation of Labor convention.
