The executive council had recom- mended simply a boycott of German- made goods and service, the boycott to continue until working people were | allowed to organize and the “persecu- tion of Jewish people” ceased. | But the resolution committee's re- |Port, adopted by the convention, said that to boycott one nation without mentioning others might bring ac- cusations’ that the convention was unfriendly to a particular nationality. The boycott, the convention agreed, “is not intended to be restricted to ‘use against the unfair and cruel prac- | tiees of the German government only, but also against any other govern- ment under similar circumstances.” The report added that the conven- tion should adopt a similar policy “against the governments and com- mercial interests of other countries wherein the workers are being de- nied the right of free trade union organization, or where any people are being persecuted because of race, re- | gious belief or political affiliations.” | Not Against Individuals The convention emphasized it had ho intention of being unfair to na- jtionals of the countries mentioned | who are in the United States. \ Adoption of the committee report followed an urgent appeal by Presi- dent William Green for a “ringing Protest against. the German govern- ment that will carry cheer--to our People over there.” Matthew Woll, a vice president of the federation, also warned the con- vention that organizations were be- ing set up “in our own country to Persecute the Jews.” Shortly before approving the boy- cott, the convention heard Edward A. Hayes, new president of the American Legion, exchange with Green a Pledge that the two organizations would work together for. the object- jives they both seek. | Among these wete listed a “human” hospitalization policy, continued re- striction of immigration, opposition to communistic tendencies, and de- |mands for a “sound and stable cur- rency.” Green added that the federation also would continue its “opposition to the recognition of Soviet Russia until it disavows the third interna- tionale and ceases its efforts to stir up revolution in the United States.” |, Thursday the federation agreed |to support President Roosevelt recov- eects wu seinen to con- i ie workers’ fight for ater | benefits under it. bs sii | This was the campaign challenge }of William Green after his unani- jmous re-election Thursday to his tenth year as president of the more than 3,000,000 organized workers: “I'm going to lead this army of or- ganized labor forward until all of us enjoy the rights and privileges to which we are entitled,” he said.
