the meeting and presided, from the I, d.
Grafton and convention, and call an.
other meeting, at which the views OF
the dissatisfied delegates may be sx-
pressed publicly.
Colonel Brcckinr.dge's speech was
considered courteous and in the vein
of n supplemental welcome to that of

friend of labor organizations and tat
he heartily favored the Org anizatiOn Of
labor. but he thought its battles should
be fought with reason and not W til

citing and criticizing the big steel strike
at the same time. He said further t at
he did not believe it conducive to tho
best interests Of labor. but unjust r
unions, to demand that only SUI h men
as they chose be employed by employers,
and only union men be allowed to work.
This expression Of opinion was not
pleasing to n number of the delegates
and several wanted to make speeches
when Colonel breckenridge had con-
cluded.
Chairman Leaning announced that
the program was concluded and de-
clared the meeting adjourned.
Agitation of the grievance yesterday
led the dissatisfied delegates to declare
that organized labor had been insulted
and deprived of an opportunity to de-
fend itself. At the meeting Of the Blue
Grass Typographical union last night.
resolutions were adopted Withdrawing
from the Kentucky Federation OF
Labor. All arrangements made by
President Leaning were approved and
his nets as well. The resO'ut' 'Ons ac.
ccrd to Colonel Breckenridge the r'ght
to hold and to express his opinions,
though they declare 1t is not necessary
for labor to endorse his position, II 1t
does not coincide with labor opinions:
they declare to the people that the
brand of unionism exhibited by the
Federation of Labor in its action today
is not that to which Lexington unions
are accustomed. nor the kind they at
tempt to propagate" and finally, since
the federation has seen fit to criticize
the entertainment and the welcome ac-
corded. the delegates are biddrn cOur-
teous farewell.
Presil,n mt McGill Of the Kentucky
federation was present and in n speech
disapproved of and lamented the ac-
ton of the convention and said he had
done all in his power to stay such ac
ton.
Labor leaders predict that the days
events will result in the disruption Of
the Federation of Labor in Kentucky.
In m interview last night relative to
the resolutions, Colonel Breckenridge
disclaimed any intention Of offending
the federation presuming it believed
in free speech and would courteously
hear the opinions expressed. even IL
different from those of the delegates.
He said he had no change to make in his
statement.
