That of the former was that two delegates whose credentials had not been reg ular, be seated. The report was adopt ed. Delegate Kemper, of the Brewery workers, objected to the report, say ing that there was a protest against the seating of their delegation, and asked what had been done. He was Informed that the committee wae not prepared to pass upon the eligibility of tho Brewery workers, but vMuld do so at a later time. A similar request came from the Sheet Metal workers, and a like comment was made. In the repqyt of the executive com mittee read yesterday by Vice-presi dent Duncan, allusion wot made to a circular Issued by the Milwaukee Trades council advooating a federation composed of city central bodies. The move, the committee declared, would result In an establishment of a body antagonistic to the American Feder ation of Labor. To tbls view, L. Burger, delegate of the Milwaukee Federated trades ob jected strongly this morning, declaring that there wae no thought of antago nism to the American FederatloSof lAbor, but rather ter the purpose of formulating a program having for it* Object a platform embodying munici pal- socialism.
