gavel hit the table for the last time the Convention had voted a boycott of Germany asked greater speed for the public works program and criticized some NRA officials whom the convention delegates charged were seeking less than living wages in some of the codes "We have voted full support to the recovery administration" Green said "but we have refused to extend that approval to its mistakes "We have invited the spokesmen of the Recovery Administration to bring us their message We have listened to the President to General Johnson (NBA Administrator) and to Senator Vaguer "We have heard strikes repeatedly denounced even to hearing them called economic sabotage But we have answered that as long as there is freedom in America the right to strike must be maintained inviolate and inviolable lulu say" "We have shown our capacity and our determination to run our own affairs We remain masters of our own movement Its boycott shouted through a chorous of "ayes" marked the first time the Federation ever had asked its around to cease buying the goods of another nation This action was taken the convention agreed because of "dangerous tendencies" The executive council had recommended that Federation boycott German good and service until the German people were able again to organize freely into trade unions and until the "persecution of Jewish people" ceased Besides agreeing with that reeommendation the resolutions committee added: "It would seem unwise for the American Federation of Labor to enter upon a policy of that sort against the government and commercial interests of one nation without at the same time adopting a similar tolicy as against the governments and commercial interests of other countries wherein the workers are being denied the ilght of free trade union organization or where any people are being persecuted because of race religious belief or political affiliations "These are governments of Daly with its Fascism and Russia with its Communism and China with its chaos "With these observations and with such modification and understandings as have been suggested your committee recommends approsal of the section of the counciFs report herein discussed" After this was adopted many of the 600 delegates debated whether it applied to Italy Russia and China as well as Germany To settle the question President William Green made this statement to the convention: "The boycott declared by this convention is to apply only -to goods front Germany and to German sere-ices It is in no way Intended to effect any other country" Then the convention proceeded with its businese In its closing sessions it voted to protest to the administration against "home officials of the NRA" who "are attempting to undermine living btandards under the cloak of an argument that such action would stimulate building construction" It blamed delay In the public works program upon the "apparent laxity of local and state public officials in presenting authorization and plans for local publie works" end added an appeal to President Roosevelt the public works administration and state and local officials to expedite the work It said too that "violations of the codes In the textile industry are becoming snore pronounced" and asked an appeal to the National Labor Board "in order to avoid the necessity of strike declarations" The convention endorsed the fur workers union's eampaign against Communism rejected a proposal ler eonstitutional amendment railing for the retirement from business of all terrains who have 030000 or more voted to ask Congress to make an investigation of the transportation of strike breakers and directed the executive council to try to settle with Rev Charles Coughlin of Detroit the question of whether he was fair to organized labor It approved a resolution asking Congress to investigate the American Telephone and Telegraph Company tend urged new laws to "prevent the so-called abuses and impositions en the

Seabury Fusion strategist and defended by Joseph McKee independent Democratic candidate Soabury prosecutor of the legislative investigation wtich ended in resignation of Mayor James Walker charged Gov Lehman had failed to correct evils disclosed by the inquiry and had neglected to take steps to bring to justice criminals who stole emergency relief funds "If we had had a Governor of the State who was determined to enforce the law as it should have been enforced" said Seabury "these criminals that stole a good part of $10- 000000 (relief funds) would have been arraigned at the bar of criminal justice and some of them would now be in Sing Sing" McKee replied: "Judge Seabury is not a candidate but let me say this: His attack on Gov Lehman is the key to the man's character and what he is trying to do in this campaign "The people of this city will resent any attack on a man who is one of the great Governors of this state It is a compliment to me that I've been put in a class with Gov Lehman The campaign on the other side has been characterized by some pretty cheap and shoddy stuff" It was the first time that Seabury directing Florello La Guardia's strategy had criticised the administration of Gov Lehman Seabury an independent Democrat in attacking Gov Lehman struck at another personal friend of President Roosevelt Previously he had called Postmaster General James A Failey reputedly a McKee backer an "arch-spoilsman" Be has also charged that Secretary of litate Edward Flynn Bronx supporter of McKee Is seeking through McKee's candidacy to grasp control of Tammany Ball Seabury's charge came as La Guardia made plans to reply "paragraph by paragraph" to McKee's Cooper Union speech calling the Fusion mayoralty candidate a "cheap publicity" seeker and charging that as a member of Congress he had sought to thwart recovery moves While Seabury and McKee were exchange charges Tammany Hall continued reprisals against party leaders holding public offices who have switched allegiance to McKee Kenneth Sutherland leader of the Brooklyn revolt for McKee which is threatening John MeCooey's 22 years of dominance of the largest Democratic machine in the city was dismissed from his $9- 140 job as assistant to the Alder-manic president Dennis Mahon Aldermanic president who dropped Sutherland laughingly said his action was not inspired by the leader's bolt to McKee and Mayor John O'Brien Tammany candidate declined to comment Meanwhile Sutherland asserted the meeting Monday of McCooey's leaders to determine whether Brooklyn's Democracy will swing to McKee would be "a real showdown" He declined to discuss the name of MeCooey's successor should the veteran leader be forced out by McKee backers Former Senator Abraham Kaplan O'Brien campaign manager minimized reports of continued revolt to McKee In Queens and asserted a new Bronx organization to replace the machine led away from O'Brien by Flynn was being rapidly perfected by Thomas Doke new Tammany Bronx leader
