&. Porter johnson. Democratic can.
| didntc for Congress In the Second Dis
trict. was considerably jolted by a re-
buke given him In u speech by Com.
missioner Of Public Works McGann ut
the labor day picnic Monday. John
son spoke first and urged the working
men to use their unions rs weapons In
political fights to knock out party
bosses. The impression made by the
remarks Of the candidate seemed to he
that he was speaking one word for Or
ganizcd labor and half dozen In his
own behalf, for Mr.. Mc(iann. who fol-
lowed him. took the speaker to task In
the following words: Il want to take
exceptions to &. Porter JOhnsOn's
theory. To me trade AMI labor or.
ganlzatlOn II not u political Organlzn.
| tiOn, nor II II expected to promote 20
litical questions. The labor unions may
promote their own organizations fOl
personal good. but they should keel
out Of politics"
The assertion has been made that the
city hall faction Is not very jealous IN
JOhnson's behalf. and McGann's re-
marks do not belle the statement
Leaders Of the gold wing declare. how
ever. that they ARE still with the nom
inee. and say II was through their Of
| forts that Mr.. johnson secured thu
nomination.
