A resolution calling for boycott of all public restaurants, inns, lodging houses, hotels and motels practicing racial and religious discrimination was adopted unanimously at the 51st annual convention here of the Vermont Federation of Labor which is affiliated with the American Federation of Labor.
The resolution was introduced by Vermont AFL president C.E. St. Amour. It noted the existence of a discriminatory pattern in the state’s public accommodations industry and called for a campaign to publicize the names of offending institutions in labor and other paper and to urge members of organized labor and their families to avoid those places.
