FOUR UNIONS TO
TAKE AN APPEAL
Member Says the American
Federation Will be Asked
to Set Aside Suspension

The four local labor unions that were
suspended by the Central Union on
Tuesday night on a charge of insub-
ordination, because they protested
against the Central Union declaring for
license in the November campaign, do
not intend to submit tamely to the
suspension, but on the contrary threat
en- OF make 1t warm for the Central
body and to carry an appeal to the
American Federation Of Labor.
The Unions that were suspended on
Tuesday night from further participa-
ton in the councils of the Central
Union were the Pattern Makers Union;
Local No. 1926 of the Carpenters; Pap
.er Hangers Local No. 971 and the Musi-
clans Union.
After the Central Union had declared
for license at it's last meeting in Octo-
Der these four local unions adopted
resolutions protesting against the Cen
trail body's action.
Since then a committee Of the Cen
trail Union has been considering the
matter and on Tuesday night on the
committees recommendation the four
unions were suspended by the Central
body.
At the next meetings Of the four
local unions the action of the Central
Union viii be reported officially and
they will act upon it. A prominent
member Of one Of the suspended unions
this morning said the four organiza-
tions propose to combat the Central
Unions action. He contended that the
Central body had no authority to sus-
[ pend the four unions, and stated that
, each Of the four unions will carry ar
iappeal N +r0 American Federation OF
Labor to have the action Of suspension
set aside, and further asking that. the
charter Of the Central Union be revoked
on the ground that It had no right tc
commit itself either for or against IL
cense in the local option campaign
Preliminary steps to get the appeal
ready were taken this morning.
