F. oi L. with 522 local department councils, 49 state federations of labor, 734 city central bodies, pver 900 directly affiliated local trade and federal labor unions, and more than 32,000 local unions will undoubtedly fall into line in the interest of a long delayed reform in those Federal judicial bodies that have assumed the power to veto laws for the general welfare enacted by the congress of the United States, signed by the President and approved by the great mass of the voters.
