rAINTERs AND DECORATORS NOW
Are Holding Their Annual Conven-
ton I'm Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 3.-The council chamber
of the city hall was well filled this morn
Ing when the national convention OF the
Brotherhood of Painters and Decorators
of the United States was called TO oruer
by President John Nj. Welter OF this ity.
Delegates from between ~ and ~ local
unions in as many cities of the country,
and representing a total membership Of
nearly 10000 responded to the roll call.
This organization has attracted attention
ON account of the sensational dissensions
in its ranks. Two years ago at the con-
vention in Buffalo, number of the
unions seeded and established headquar-
tiers at Baltimore under the leadership
of John 4. Elliott, and since that time he
two factions have been known as the
Elliott and Mckinney factions, the latter
leader being the general secretary treas
urer and located at Lafayette, Ind. For
a time the Elliott element had the On
dorsement OF the Federation of Labor,
but at the last convention of this order a
pledge was given that peace would be re-
stored. So far this pledge has not been
carried into effect. AL the present time
the Elliott faction has a membership of
about $500. while the Mckinney faction
rolls up about 1000. 1t is thought that the
present convention will prove the death
knell of the Baltimore concern, especially
as many of the seeding lodges are rep
resented here today.
