The Washington herald., 1909-01-19

comment was rlie among tne members
OF the Central Labor Union at its meet
ing last night in Typographical Temple
In regard to President Lorch's announce
ment Of the standing COMMITTEES for the
next six months. Adverse criticism was
heard from many OF the delegates.
AS the names Of the members appointed
to the committees were read. It became
evident that many OF the "old guard
had been cleared from the slate. and
delegates substituted who are compare
lively new in the administration OF the
organization.
Denied Place.
Sam De Nedrey. the veteran secretary
OF the Central Labor Union, was denied
q place on any standing committee, d
thing that has not happened in the last
ten years Coming on the heels OF more
or less open snub from President LoTch
about three months ago. when the name
OF the secretary was left of an I'M
portant special committee. Mr.. De Ned
rey's relegation last night from the ranks
Of the committees was noticeable. He
bears the reputation Of being one Of the
most active members Of the central body.
Another name the omission Of which
was noted was that OF F. J. McKeuna,
OF the plate printers. who for the first
time IN several years was left Of the
label committee His work in the IN
terests OF that important body is said 20
have been active and efficient and IN
ternal politics was openly assigned az
the probable reason for the omission OF
his name
President Lorch's appointments opened
again an old question Of policy in the
union. II has been known for some time
past 70 those intimately acquainted with
the organization that a struggle has
been forward between the radicals" and
the conservatives. IN this cisssifca-
tioa Mr.. De Ned7ey has been popularly
called a radical and Mr. LOrch a con-
seTvative.
Opening Move.
Whether or not the step taken BIZ Mr..
Lorch last night Is the opening move fa
campaign against what he considers
overprogressiveness IS not yet apparent.
