Conspicuous Neglect of Duty by
Many Delegates Most of the
Absentees Belong to Unions For.
merly Represented in the c. l.. F
Instead of at least 100 delegates there
| were but from so to 80 at the last meet
,ng of the re-organized Central Labor

in their seats at this important meeting,

had to be elected.

Considerable opposition manifested
itself against electing delegate Harrison
on any of the committees, as he was
charged with being politician. He is
employed by the city, but he said that
he had ''never been politician" as he
was always 'independent." The chair
man decided that, as long as the dele
gate had not been proven guilty of vio-
lating the constitution of the c. l., U.
he was entitled to all the privileges of a
delegate. Mr.. Harrison was defeated
for the Committee on Arbitration.
Delegate Ellis of the Walters is col,
ored man.
