F. of L. addressed the New York convention last week, he said: "I am convinced that Governor Smith's speech of acceptance and his reference to the abuse of injunctions has made a deep impression, in every industrial state. . . . I am satisfied that, when they go to the polls, they will stand by those who stood by them in their hours of need."
