and others have not lived up to the
Denver and Toronto agreements of the
American Federation of Labor in any
shape, manner or form.
End. You did not even make an at
tempt of any character, at any time,
to dissolve the Cleveland injunction
suits and thereby liberate the funds
tied up so that convention could be
held. You cannot hold a convention
without funds, and you know it,
3rd. You did not comply with the or
ders of the special committee at any
time. You were repeatedly requested
to dismiss all law suits, but, on the
contrary, you complicated matters by
adding three more local unions as par
ties to the suits, and this on Decem-
Der 7th, 1909-two days before the
special committee, held it's first meet
ing in Springfield, III.
4th. The special committee did not
decide that a convention would be
held at an early date, but did decide
that conventionssMo be held just
as soon as the terms and conditions of
the Denver and Toronto agreements
were complied with, and no sooner.
5th. McNulty, Noonan and others

council of the American Federation OF
Labor, and will serve on said council

Brother Murphy, don't fool yoursel
and those you represent. Don't hide
the true facts from your members un
der the subterfuge that you are righ

assumed, that the American Fedora
tion of Labor must sooner or later &C
knowledge that fact. Tell them plain
ly that you have ignored the Denve
and Toronto agreements; that yol
have defied the American Federation
of Labor; that you have done nothing
to comply with the requests of tn
