who succeeded in getting a hearing point
OF order Kaufman member of the Inde-
pendent Labor party but last Sunday he de-
clartd that he did not like It's antagonistc atti-
tude toward Mr. Hearst, he was not against
Mr. Hearst himself. His point of order was that
as the Central Federated Union had left all
political matters to the Independent Labor
party, the Central Federated Union was out Of
politics.
WILL INDORSE NEITHER CANDIDATE.
The chairman declared the point to be well
taken, and it was decided that the Central Fed
Grated Union should indorse no candidates.
James Hatch, chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the Independent Labor party, then
said:
Were you not the first. when 1 made my
report condemning the tactics of Mr.. Hearst
and his agents, to rush to me, shake hands
with me and congratulate me?
Kaufman began an explanation. but Hatch
said that he wanted yes or no as an answer A
discussion took place between the two, and the
chairman, referring to the collapse of Mr. Hatch
last Sunday told him not to cry Hatch was
highly indignant and, turning to the chairman,
said:
Why do you not have some respect for your
own position? Scurrilous statements have been
made about me which were untrue. and you
allowed hints to be made about my receiving
money which also untrue. l want to tell
you that will know eventually who got the
price as this matter is being investigated
There were two delegates of the PAYERS and
Hammers Union at the meeting one of whom
said he had just come from a meeting where
Thomas Rock had been indorsed for Senator
In the 14th District This delegate was a
Hearst man.
Delegate Richards. also Of the PAYERS and
Hammers Union. but not a Hearst man. pro-
tested against a statement which had been
made last week that the PAYERS and Hammers
Union had indorsed Mr.. Hearst He continued:
There is no truth whatever in the statement
that my union indorsed Mr.. Hearst. My CO.
delegate might have done so. but it would have
been a very poor Endorsement. What could vol,
expect from a who can vote twenty times
inside of one day?
Delegate McConville, of the Safety Engineers
Union, took exception to this charge against
Richards. He said it was serious matter to
accuse a Of being a repeater. The accused
delegate, however, took the matter lightly and
said he might have voted twenty times in a
day when he was very young man.
Hearst man, Timothy J. Healey, OF the Ec-
centric Firemen's Union candidate for Congress
in Westchester, who spoke at the Hearst demon
stration Thursday evening got up TO COM
plain that statements had appeared that he had
made an agreement with the Actors Protective
Union to supply talent for an entertainment by
its organization, and that he had afterward
called off the engagement with that union be-
cause he differed in his political convictions
from President De veaux. Healey declared
that the story untrue whereupon De veaux
took the floor.
GIVES LIE TO HEALEY.
Il did not intend to say anything about this
matter at first" he said. But will speak now.
was In my office when 1 was called to the
telephone by Mr.. Healey. who told me that I
would have TO be silenced if I did not stop
knocking certain people and would be taken out
of my organization. Mr. Heaey has a shrilI
voice, and several other labor men, who were
there, heard it. The cancellng of the order
shows the dirty politics that was played against
our organization"
1t looked as If this would provoke a bitter
discussion, but too many people wanted to talk
to give Healey chance of replying. The name
OF Thomas Rock was introduced again, in the
apparent hope that it might lead up TO the
stampeding of the meeting for Mr. Hearst II
that was the object it did not work A resoIu-
ZION was simply carried thanking Thomas Rock
for his efforts in the Assembly on behalf of the
Eight Hour bill. Before any more political
speeches could be made the regular order of
business was called for and further political
discussion was impossible.
