Pittsburgh, Pa., Nov. 2—A resolu- tion recommending a statewide strike of organized labor as a last resort in the union's fight for “free speech, free press and free assembly,” was adopted by the special convention of the Penn- sylvania Federation of Labor in session here today. Following the vote on the resolution, it was announced that only two of the 506 delegates had cast nega- tive ballots. Under the resolution the executive | council of the state federation is in- structed “to issue a call for a state- wide strike when in its judgment it is necessary 10.compel respect for law and the restoration of liberty as guar- anteed by the constitution of the United States and of the state of Pennsylvania.” Governor Willlam C. Sproul was asked to call a special ses- sion of the legislature to act as an im- peachment tribunal agalnst public of- ficials who are accused by the union of violating their oaths of office, The right of the state federation to call the strike was questioned by a number of delegates, but James H. Maurer, president, said that “when we decide we have to fight, whether the American Federation of Labor or the different international unions concur, we are going to fight” He added that he did not anticipate opposition of the proposed walkout from the interna- tional unions, but said he expected “their hearty support.” Other resolutions passed by the con- vention urged that the raflroad men, miners and steel workers pool their forces and refuse to make any settle- ments that do not include the three unions; ordered the taking of a refer- endum vote of the .different crafts in statement says locotive en- Americanism should assure by the hoerding and to lower pro- misun derstanding We attempt at netion, Dbelieving tend | to_make the eighty-five ing a labor party; demanded amnesty for persons imprisoned under the espionage act and urged the repeal of the law; recommended the release of ing and shooting in Alexandria today, the booty.
