Denver, Nov. 19. When the report of President Gompors
to the American Federation of Labor was called for today, Com
pere relinquished the chair to Seventh Vice President Valentine.
Each subject of the report was commented upon and approved
by the committee as the reading proceeded, and tho convention
endorsed the recommendations of the committee and the action
of Gotopers in regard to the Buck Stove and Range, Company in
junction was unanimously endorsed by a rising vote.
There was no discussion of the committee's report until the
sub-head, "Litigation harassing labor" was reached. On this
subject the committee declared that when a judge issued an in
junction in labor disputes it is the duty of organized labor to dis
obey and go to jail, and advised that the funds of the organisa
tion be not used to defend any such suit "because it believes it
would be a useless expenditure."
James Duncan, of the Granite Cutters, first vice president of
the Federation, opposed the recommendation. He said that un-
1 ion men were law-abiding men and should proceod li'to a ay other
citizens to defend themselves at all hazards. He moved to strike
out the words advising labor men to disobey the injunctions.
President Andrew Furuseth of the Seamen's union, uphold
i the report of the committee.
