Under the head of new business the
Corresponding Secretary was instructed
to lodge protest with the American
Federation of Labor against its action in
apparently protecting the K. of L. at
the expense of the open unions. In de-
batting the motion it was said that Mr..
Gompers contemplated the formation of
an ultra conservative central body in
this city and that his union, Cigarmak-
ers IA, had been the instigator of this
scheme. 1t was assumed that this new
body would be patterned after the
famous 10 Stanton street combination
which years ago had Leen formed as an
offshoot of the Socialist Labor party by
disgruntled elements, prominent among
whom were A. Strasser, S. Gompers, J.
Speyer and others.
