AFL Calls for Excluding Japanese Immigration and Secession Opposition
The American Federation of Labor meeting in Montreal urged Congress to cancel the gentlemen's agreement with Japan and bar Japanese and other Asiatic immigration into the United States, including a ban on picture brides. It condemned the secessionist railroad strike and urged affiliates to withhold support, while exploring a possible international union for building service workers. The convention backed Panama Canal hiring American citizens and rejected a proposed labor–employer arbitration body. Allen and Howat clashed over strikes, with Howat promising to defy anti-strike orders. The federation endorsed Gompers's nonpartisan political stance.
