Public Must Own Roads Says A F L
The American Federation of Labor delegates voted unanimously for a modified dry law and directed its executive council to draft legislation to grant workers government regulation and equal rights with capital in organized enterprises. The convention overrode the majority report and debated government ownership beyond railroads, addressing mines and other industries, with John L. Lewis advocating nationalization and democratic operation of railways. It also endorsed world disarmament steps, praised Navy Secretary Denby, and adopted a trimmed Irish boycott stance after a stormy session.
