Dan Patch first attacked the high-wheel

tions for the annual convention of the
American Federation of Labor, which
came to a close about ten days ago in

other matters, and the organization
scheme was laid aside The matter was
again brought to the attention of the
central body last evening by Delegate
John H. Brinkman of the carriage max

He noted the fact that no definite action
had been taken by the central body and
asked that the provisions of his resolu

This action was decided upon and Mr..
Brinkman, as organizer of the American
Federation of Labor and the Central La
