WEINsEIMER WITHDRAWs.
Indicted Labor Leader Resigns Presi-
dency of Trades Council.

A dispatch from New York last night
says: Philip Weinseimer, president OF the
Building Trades Alliance "a union organiZa-
tion), who has twice been indicted for ex-
tortion today resigned his leadership. and
William P. Mason, president of the Re
lance Labor Club of marble cutters, was
elected his successor.
Mason has been for a long time an ac-
tive factor in the alliance, but he is re-
garded as one of the more conservative
element. Twice recently he and John
MacAlister have headed committees which
have gone to the employers association
in the hope of negotiating a settlement OF
the building lockout now in force here.
on a technical recognition of the alliance,
a point the employers association has al
ways refused to concede.
AS the cumulative evidence against
Weinseimer was made public, opposition
to him in the ranks of the alliance became
more pronounced, though Immediately after
his first indictment the delegates gave MN
a unanimous vote of confidence. Even in
his own organization, the Journeymen

has enjoyed the powers almost of dlcta-

In his letter of reSigna ton Weinseimer
said he realized that persistence on his part
in retaining the office would not only
jeopardiZe the present movement, but
would be against the best interests of or
ganiZed labor. He expressed the feeling
that he would be Gated in the future.
Despite WeiuSeimers action, the en-
ployers made no Roadway today in the
effort to break the tie-up.
