Guilty in Murray Hill Lyceum Affair.

The long drawn out debate following the report
of the committee appointed in February to invest-
gate the charges that delegates and former dele
gates were connected with the calling of the Muir
ray Hill Lyceum meeting, which the Central Fed
Grated Union repudiated, was ended yesterday at
the Central Federated Union meeting. when by a
ma jority vote was decided that the five delegates
should not be expelled. but that their unions should
be directed to withdraw them. In the unions
refuse the unions to be suspended. The Cen
trail Federated Union could do nothing In the case
of the former delegates who had been found guilty
except to pass a resolution that their credentials
would not be accepted II they were again elected

Two OF the accused delegates served notice that
they would appeal the executive council OF the
American Federation of Labor. The other three
delegates are likely to do the same the council
has power TO reverse the decision and direct that

Bitter Fight Made By Anti-Gompers
Delegates.

Although the Central Federated Union only a
week ago indorsed the two circulars OF President
Gompers, one of which praised Bryan and the DEM
ocratic party. while the other asked for contrib-
tons for the political campaign of the American
Fedora ton of Labor, the Central Federated Union
induced at its meeting yesterday to adopt
resolutions practically declaring for Bryan and
pledging its support to him and the Democratic
party. This action was not taken, however, with
out bitter debate. during which the action of
the previous Sunday severely condemned by
those who opposed to the adoption Of the
circulars.
The resolutions Of yesterday we're embodied In a
circular from the Elevator Constructors and Mill
wrights Union which read follows:
At special meeting of the above organization
held on August q it resolved that pledge
our support to the president of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and the executive board of the
same by votes to defeat the Republican party.
which has been responsible for the drastic action
taken against labors just demands.
We pledge further support to William Jen-
nings Bryan and the Democratic party in the
coming election for protecting organized labor by
inserting in their platform a labor recommendation
and pledging its support to the same.
Then followed long wrangle. and the resolu-
tion spread on the minutes.
