original purpose of the federation is the

the first policy Of the federation and
must remain so, and that politics shall
be a side issue. He announced that hs
was prepared to take issue with those
who hope to see the future political
agitation the federation's main issue.
Others expressed different opinions.
Delegate Brown asserted that the re-
suits Of recent activity had been that
labor had succeeded In elcctng its enc
mics and defeating its friends He said
this defeat Of the purpose Of the re-
cent political move was due to failure
properly 10 organize and that because
of tho failure attacks had been made
on President Gompers, whereas he was
not personally responsible.
Mr. Brown has a resolution before
the convention calling for the creation
Of an auxiliary political organization TO

New York. Wednesday night.
Mr. Little6ed," said President Com
pers. lis unable to look without pre-
JUDGE at any measure advanced by
Its representatives. So far as Mr.. Lit
tleheld's attack on our agitation for an
anti-injunction bill Is concerned, ] am
content TO let my answer be taken from
the report which presented TO the fed
Grafton at the afternoon session Of this
convention of Monday.
Finding himself In a congenial gath
criug, a gathering made up of men
bitterly hostile to organized labor, Mr..
Littleiield evidently decided to vent
his spleen against the movement. and
against myself The fact that he had
the newspaper men removed from the
room after saying as much as he did
