BALTIMORE, March 10.—Modifica- tion of the Volstead act and legaliza- tion of the manufacture afid sale of light wines and beer is favored in a resolution passed yesterday by the Maryland State and District of Co- lumbla Federation of Labor, which is meeting here. Another resolution adopted provided that, whereas the legislature at times wilfully and in defiance of the of its constituents passed measures that were exceedingly unpopular, it be reiterated that the fundamental principles of the American Federation of Labor demanded the initiative, ref- erendum and recall, and that it be urged for Maryland. After election of officers and the ‘se- lection of Cumberland for next year's convention, the delegates visited An- napolis in' a body to enter protest against a number of bills pending in the general assembly. Chief among thése is the so-called equal rights bill for women, and a protest was made to Gov. Ritchie against its enactment, at which Miss Gertrude M. McNally of Washington was the spokesman Their contention is that there is no true economic equality secured for the working women under the lan- guage of the bill, and that the labor laws protecting women would either be nullified or seriously endangered by passage of the bill. Officers elected were: President, Francis J. Drum of Cumberland; vice presidents, C. C. Coulter of Montgom- ery county, Miss Gertrude M. McNally of Washington, N. A. James of Prince Georges county, F. Isaacs of Balti- more, R. H. Burdette of Washington, Robert H. Snyder of Hagerstown and C. J. Chapman of Delmar; secretary. Henry F. Broening of Baltimore; treasurer, J. E. Toone of Washing- ton; delegate to the American Fed- eration of Labor convention, Frank Coleman of Washington, and organ- izer, A. M. Lawson of Washington. |ELECTROCUTION BUNGLED I ELEVEN ATTEMPTS FAIL - Inexperienced Electrician Succeeds on Twelfth Try—Death Chamber Scene Revolting. By the Associated Press. LITTLE ROCK, Ark.
