Tho Federation of Labor closed its
sessions here this afternoon afler a
most successful meeting in which re -
resentatives of organized labor
throughout the State took part
It was decided that tho woman's la
bor bill should be left as it is now

will not oppose any efforts to strength
en it, although opposed to anv amend
ments that would serve to weaken it.

be held here. This postponement is be
cause none of the bills to he presented
are yet completed, but it is hoped li>
have them ready by January IS, when
the best one from the federation'a
viewpoint will be endorsed and offered
in both Senate and House.
Action on the child labor bill also
was deferred until the-same time. Sev
eral proposition's have beeu of!\re<l, out
none lias beeu as yet framed to ineeb
all views, and until finished to the sat
isfaction of all no action will be taken.
It was decided to ask for an in
