Labor Confederation Decries Injunctions and Urges Political Redress
Washington D C Dec 15 A declaration of principles by the conference of presidents of labor unions affiliated with the American Federation of Labor urges workers to seek redress through political pressure and possible labor party. It denounces injunctions in mine strikes and opposes wage fixing on cost of living, calling for federal control of railroads two years after 1919 and condemning radical elements within unions. The declaration backs unity to avoid industrial tyranny and cites United States Steel as needing change in employer relations.
