This call invited the. membership of all A.F.L. bodies to elect delegates to @ conference to be held in Cincin- nati, Ohio, on November 22 and 23 simultaneously with the AF.L. an- nual convention, The purpose of this conference is to send an official del- egation to the A.F.L. convention to bear pressure upon the AFL. con- vention to adopt the Workers’ Unem- ployment Insurance Bill as the meas- ure it will sponsor and fight for its adoption by the federal government.
