(Received Wednesday, 5.5 p.m.) NEW YORK, Oct. 12,
After a heated debate, the Federation of Labour Convention at Detroit, to-day rejected two resolutions urging modification of the United States immigration laws, to permit the admission of aliens seeking refuge from “political and religious persecution.”
The resolutions committee reported that resolutions were passed advocating diplomatic recognition of Russia by the United States Government, and expressing “full agreement with President Coolidge in holding that American principles must be unbartored,” disapproving of the proposed Labour Commission of Investigation to Russia, and extending “profound sympathy with the masses of the people of Russia, in their moral and political enslavement.” Tho Committee staled: “We regard the Soviet regime as the most unscrupulous, most, anti-social, and most menacing institution of the whole world to-day.”
