The proposition was that the Federation of Labor should refuse strike aid to .all unions less than a year old. - The proposal was advocated by prac- ; tlcally every experienced leader who at- tended the meeting held In Bricklayers' hall, and they had fought valiantly for its adoption. Against them was an array ar-ray of men representing the so-called "mushroom" organizations, who hissed and Jeered and finally defeated the measure. - |
