TOOCONTEMPTIBLE
FOR ME TO NOTICE,
.Great Labor Leader Takest
Note of Charges of
Brownell.
Norfolk, Va„ Nov. 13.—The appeal of
the Brewery Workers' Union to the
American Federation of Labor from
the action of the latter's executive
council In revoking the brewery .work
ers’ charter because of their refusal
to relinquish jurisdiction over the af
filiated brewery engineers, firemen and
teamsters, comes before the national
body upon a- resolution by Victor L.
Berger, of Milwaukee, the socialist
leader, representing the Wisconsin
Federation of Labor. The mutter will
likely cause the greatest light of the
present session. The' Internntlnnnl
Engineers, Firemen and Tenmslers
will make strong efforts to have con
firmed the action of the executive
council, which the Intter In represent
ing the revocation of the brewery
workers' charter had become tnnnria-
tory In view of the action of the Mln-
ncn)»Ils convention In 1900. Recom
mendations of President Gonipers Is It
the effect that the Amerlcnn Federa
tion should return to the old policy of
arbitration Instead of the mandatory
policy.
The fight between the federation
and the Manufacturers Association
growing out of the suit brought In the
District of Columbia by Jumes W. Van
Cleave, president of that association
for the anti-boycott Injunction desired
by a Ht. Louis stove manufacturing
concern came to an Issue when the
lsnly .ecelved and referred to a spe
cial committee of fifteen with Frank
Duffy, chairman, a resolution setting
forth the fight that Is now being waged
"in an attempt to disrupt the labor or
ganisations of the country’ and pro
viding for a "campaign of education
against Van Cleave and his Interest*
through all central bodies allied with
the American Federation. \\ hen asked
for a reply to the statement by Ather
ton Brownell, editor of The American
Industries that it will require more
than a verbal denial for president
Gompers to "disprove the truth of al
legations that he personally benefits
financially and to a large amount front
the use of the organization of which
he Is the head.” . , ... '
Mr. Gompers said the whole thing
was simply a rehash of charges that
sve already been answered. "Who 1*
this hireling," said Mr. Compel*, "who
seeks through these Infamous charges
to discredit the officials of organised
labor and thus Injure Its cause. It la
too contemptible for me to notice
further.”
