 There is no friction now" he says. fAll differences have been adjusted and we are ready to go into the coming cleo ton confidently
 MT. Thompson's confidence Is remarka- ble. By adjusting of differences he no doubt means that the adherents of the President are agreed, but takes no note of the large number of old time workers in the party who are Tying low,n as Uncle Remus would say.

there I had always been opposed tc
labor unions taking part in politics
But l say now that I take back that
opinion. I found in England a political
condition that I would recommend VOL
to follow.
Il do not mean that trade unions
should 90 into politics. I mean that
union men should go into politics. ]
believe that every union man should
look to his own interests"
Several delegates followed and dis
cussed the same proposition President
Barney Cohen had in his annual repor,
made the same suggestion and when
Secretary Ryan recommended politics
the delegates applauded heartily.
Among thhe popular men in the con-
vention are Mayor c. E. O'Connor OF
