Shelley, president of the San Francisco Labor Council (A. F. L.), were featured speakers. Both warned labor faced a drive to incorporate unions and cripple the Wagner act and urged unity in political action. The platform agreed on is the basis of the Leagues action on candidates. It contained planks on labor, agriculture, taxation, civil liberties, education, relief and unemployment, and social security. Some of its highlights called for a state wages and hours act, a ban on transporting of strike breakers within the state, completion of the Central Valley power project, refinancing of farm mortgages on a long-tercredit basis, repeal of the sales tax and higher income and inheritance taxes instead, ademainquate old-ag- e pensions, tenance of a democratically controlled state relief administration, elimination of the paupers oath and red tape in relief, and ending of all forms of forced labor camps. Congressional and local candidates were endorsed, but action on the governor and senator was withheld pending a further survey. The convention decided on closer cooperation between the California League and cooperatives after it heard a speech by Richard Flam-ber- t, president of the California (Continued on Page 4) O.
