Chicago, Illinois - America Union Workers Plead for Life of Irish Rebel
In a meeting of the Chicago Federation of Labor this past Sunday, a resolution was passed that a message should be sent to London making a plea for the life of the Irish Rebel, James Connolly. Connolly is well known and much respected by the trade unionists and Socialists of Chicago, having once been a resident of the city where he was active in both movements on behalf of the working class.
