LABOR MEMS OK.
IS NOT FOR RAND
Endorsement of Haynes by the Com
mittee May Make Trouble mas
much as Union Men Charge That the
Mayoralty Situation Was Not to Be
81 Passed Upon.

Lars M. Rand Of the sixth ward, it's
of Endorsement at the hands of the To-
cal political committee Of the State
Federation Of Labor, which has signi.
fed its preference for the republican
candidate, John Peterson, as alderman
of the sixth ward The ward is la
Dor stronghold and the Endorsement of
the committee will carry weight and
influence at the coming election.
The same committe its
instructions in leaving the field of cam
didates for legislative bodies-has
stirred up a storm of protest by in
dorsing James G. Haynes, the demo
cratic candidate for mayor. In pro-
testing against the action of the COM
mittee for exceeding its authority and
IN 1ndorslng any maayoraity candidate,
ton will be absolutely without infiu-
ence....-...s--I.@ 80
Others who have been Endorsed are
Martin tMcHale for alderman of the
twelfth ward democrat, and B. F.
Sheldon for alderman of the second
ward, republican. MeHale is a union
man. @@ -
While the action of the committee
10 some eases is approved by labor men,
its action in dipping into the mayor
atty fight, it is said, will make trouble.
It is asserted that no reply to a list Of
labor questions was ever received from
Mr.. Haynes, and: that in their zeal to
get him, some verbal answers were Sc
cured by special committee of three
that waited on him and no Others The
same Committee backed DR.. u. G. Will
liams in the primaries, and is now try
ing to continue. its opopsitin by bolt
ing with DR.: Williams and trying to
stampede union republican votes to
