The 64th annual conference of the American Federation of Labor yesterday adopted a resolution condemning racial and religious bigotry and discrimination against minorities.

The resolution urged the executive council of the A.F. of L. to support efforts by international and local unions to carry out an educational program designed to promote tolerance and understanding. It also warned against efforts by anti-democratic groups to spread bigotry in the period of adjustment which will follow the end of the war.
