SHAFFER SAYS 1T is A
SCHEME TO INJURE HIM

Delegate Sheridan Of the Amalgamated
association, colleague OF President Shat
fer i'll the convention, threw the bomb by
asking unanimous consent to introduce a
resolution calling for an investigation of
the charges. Both parties announced that
they courted the investigation and it will
be referred to a special committee of five,
two to be selected by President Gompers.

choose the fifth. After the adjournment
President Shafler asserted with great en-
phasis: The entire thing is scheme to
injure me and to discredit me so that |
cannot be reelected. has no part in
the presentation of the resolution offered
by Sheridan, and | believe that he and
Gompers are in collusion regarding it."
When this statement was made to Mr..
Sheridan, he denied that there was any
cooperation between himself and Pres-
dent Gompers. The latter said: "Mr.
Shaffer may be entirely correct when he
says he did not desire the introduction of
the resolution, but it is utterly false that
/ am in league with Sheridan or anybody
else in this matter"
President Gompers said: There is
nothing in my connection with the labor
movement that | wish concealed. l have
always acted with a single eye to the best
interests of the laborng people of the
country. | welcome the investigation in
order that the matter may be finally dis
posed Of"
Very few of the committee were ready
to report when the convention opened this
morning. Delegate Mahon, of the special
committee investigating the application of
the longshoremen for change Of name
extending their jurisdiction, announced
that President Keefe of the longshoremen
declined to serve as member of the COM
mittee, believing that it should be COM
posed of disinterested parties. After de-
bate, in which there was succession of
motions and amendments, it was finally
decided to remove from the committee all
members representing organizations di-
rectly interested in the claims of the
longshoremen for jurisdiction. At this
point the Shaffer-Gompers dispute came
up.
A resolution that before any union shall
make demand for change of wages and
conditions it be referred to the central
body for action, was reported adversely
by the committee OH boycotts to which
the resolution was referred and its action
was sustained by the convention.

CYCLE ASSOCIATION MEETS.
Changes Made in Racing Rules and
Boston Promoters Expelled.

An interesting meeting of the National
Cycling Association, which controls cycle
racing in this country, was held in New
York yesterday. Representatives were pres
ent for track owners, clubs and racing syn
dicates from several sections of the coun-
try. At the end of the meeting it was said
that more or less friction existed between
the association and some of the track own
ers, but those interested predicted that all
misunderstanding would be smoothed over
soon. Another meeting of the track own
will be held in the near future when a
circuit will be agreed on. The promoters
of the recent six day race at Boston, over
which there has been more or less scandal
were summarily suspended.
In the revision of the constitution and by
laws the first change was in district rep
resentation. The association Is divided into
six sections. InaSmuch as there is little
racing in the Rocky mountain and Pacific
coast districts. it was decided to give these
two sections representation to the main or
ganization through the board of control
member from the western section. This
brought up the voting powers Of proxies at
the annual meeting.
Several of the members contended that 1t
was unfair to those members who regularly
attended the annual meeting at great ex-
pense that members who were not interest
ed to the extent of spending car fare to at
tend the meetings should receive the privi-
1t was argued that the passage of an
amendment taking away the voting power
of proxies would strengthen the interest in
the organization. 1t was finally decided to
lay 1t over until the next annual meeting
Several changes were proposed in the
classification of franchises and territorial
rights. After some discussion 1t was de-
cided to make three classes Of franchises in
the neutrality-suspicious., conditional and
temporary. The first class will be granted
on the payment to the association of $50,
and 1t will entitle the holder to all rights
and privileges of holding National Cycling
Association meets within radius Of five
miles of the city to which the franchise is
granted. No other club in the association
will receive sanctions for that district.

be about the same as the permanent one.
