COUNCIL TO PRINT
GOMPERS' APPEAL
Labor Organ Will Present Fed
Grafton Presidents Letter De-
spite Socialists Objection
Protest Against Livernash as
Orator Is Laid on Table 4
\ After Heated Debate

gr The session of the
ETss55E es.ssoass ec55sc5I1 San Francisco labor
fST1sTssS council last night
was the most ami
mated of the year. The first matter
that aroused discussion was the cir
cUlar letter from President Gompers
and the members of the executive COM
mittee Of the American federation of
labor, containing review of the plat
forms of the republican and the demo-
cratic parties. and urging the working
men to remember their friends and
punish their enemies.
A motion TO have the document
printed in the special edition of the
official organ brought about a heated
discussion and the charge by Delegate
Doyle that the document was a virtual
Endorsement of the democratic party.
He stated that some years ago Gompers
warned the labcring men to keep out of
politics, but that now he was trying to
plunge them into it. He declared there
is only one man who was entitled to
receive the lsboring mems votes, and
that was Debs- He was proceeding in
this strain when he was called TO order
and told that he would not be allowed
TO talk politics in the council. After
that the motion to have the circular
printed prevailed by a vote OF 40 to So.
Doyle sought TO have the platform
OF the socialist party read, but after a
long discussion q motion TO lay IL on the
table carried
request from Gompers for cam
paign funds was referred to the COM
mittee on iniunctions.
Delegate Tattenham of the BARRIERS
union presented the protest Of that
union against the appointment of E. J..
LiTernash as orator for Labor day.
This raised the warmest discussion that
has been heard in the council for years
The accusation that Livernash has
patronized an unfair barber shop and
an unfair retail clerk was met by the
retort that FIVE years ago he had been
tried before the bar of the labor coun-
ell on those charges and had been
exonerate6. II was charged that the
action of the BARRIERS was the result of
q political trick in the interest of
Julius Kahn II was also stated that
Ldvernash had proved his friendship for
union men by contributing $1,000 to the
carmen's union before any attempt was
made to collect funds for It, and
Michael Casey declared that he was the
man who received the money from
After the announcement had been made
that the cooks union protested against
Iivernash as orator and that the retail
clerks had decided not TO parade IL he
l is retained in that position a motion 10
1 hay the BARRIERS protest on the table
was carried by very large majority.
Secretary Gallag CHER was granted
three weeks leave of absence to enable
him to attend the session of the inter
national convention of his union. He
will while east represent the council in
explaining several trades disputes 10

of labor.
