GUST THEIR PRESIDENT.
Internal Strife in Association Comes
to Gilman,

Factional trouble of long standing within the
New York Letter Carriers Association came to a
head at meeting at the Amsterdam opera
House last night. when william V. McManus- the
president. removed and Henry Haeckle. OF
Station @. elected to succeed him. McManus was
removed last January from the postal service, ana
his friends charged last night that this was made
by the opposing faction. which. they
said resented bitterly his rise to Office to get him
out OF the way.
The meeting began at p. m. II soon grew into
so stormy a session that a call sent In by
members of both factions for police protection. and
a sergeant and half dozen biuecoats were placed
at the hall to preserve order for the rest of the
session. McManus did not attempt to preside after
his appearance had proved signal for catcalls-
He announced that 1t was impossible to preserve
order and declared recess. during which the
other side held its election and adjourned. After
that he declared those proceedings out Of order.
and said he would appoint committee Of five to
consider ways and means for the protection Of the
organization He and his friends threaten to ap
peal the courts.
McManus was elected office January 5. for
one year. after a hard fight in which he was sup
ported by the younger element in the association
His campaign programme promised an INFUSION OF
new blood and economic methods of administration
He believed that the cloth furnished for the mems
uniforms was costing much for the quality. and.
believing he authorized to do so by the men.

office or retaining membership In the association.
which simply is sick and death benefit organiza-
ton Of letter carriers, branch OF national or
ganization. But in my career as member and an
officer had gone up against the odtmers and the
system, and It became case where I had to CO.
So at special meeting last month a resolution was
introduced by five members declaring that should
be ousted from Office at the next regular meeting
l knew what that meant, and 1 knew what II
meant when another member proposed that the
vote should be open, by the name and station OF
each member. That meant that every man had 10

the system I don't expect to lie down now when
have carried the fight through so far. and IT IS
quite possible this will get into the courts
When the anti-McManus people elected their can
didate- they jeered McManus and gave three
cheers followed by Kisses and howls.
McManus supporters, who said they dared not let
their be used, declared that their president
was being made victim of politics within the or
sanization. He had tried TO reform the assocla-
tion's affairs they maintained. and had to suffer
for attacking the who had held office for years
