The A. F. of L. in Convention Cities

Abstract

MEMBERS OF the American Federation of Labor Nonpartisan Political Campaign Committee attended the conventions of both political parties. They talked privately with political figures, and they no doubt heard reassuring promises, off the record. Of these things contemporaries knew little. Labor delegations appeared before the resolutions committee of both parties on behalf of the planks they wanted to see placed in the platforms. What they asked and what they received is easily told. The rest can now be more or less pieced together.
