REPORTS SHOW GAINS
FOR ORGANIZED LABOR
Finances Are at High Tide, Balance
of More Than One Hundred and
Sixty-five Thousand Dollars Being
In Treasury-RuIing in fractional
Strife.

TORONTO. ONT. Nov. S.-That the
American Federation of Labor intends
to stand by President Samuel Com
pers and his officers, Vice president
John Mitchell and Frank Morrison, in
their fight to evade the jail sentences
imposed in the United States for con-
tempt of court was indicated today by
the attitude of the delegates in at
tendance at the twenty ninth annual
convention.
II is apparent that the committee on
the presidents report will recommend
that the, case be carried to the SUI
preme Court of the United States. AT
least this is the expressed opinion OF
many OF the delegate.
Substantial Gains.
MIR. Gompers in his report discuss
ed a wide range of labor issues, and
those of Secretary Frank Morrison
and treasurer John B. Lennon, which
followed, showed that oganized labor
has made substantial gains in the past
year and that the funds of the fedora
ton are at high tide with balance
of $f65,303 in the treasury.
The conventions attitude towards
the factional strife among the mem
bers of the International Brotherhood
of Electrical Workers was shown to-
day when the credential committee re-
ported in favor of the faction headed
by F. ]. McNulty and declined to seat
James J. Reid, of the Erie, Pa, cen
trail labor union. president OF the in
surgents. and other delegates from or
CARNATIONS whose charters had been
revoked by the federation.
President Gompers ruled that only
organizations in good standing were
entitled to representation in the con-
yention.
May Be Aired on Floor.
1t is predicted that the dissatisfied
electrical workers eventually will air
their grievances on the floor OF the
convention.
They contend that their charters
were revoked before they had had an
opportunity to appeal to the conven-
ton.
The greatest part of tomorrow's
session probably will be devoted to
the report OF the executive council
and the various committee appoint
ments will be'read.
