In labor conventions n tnuS carry
out the leaders schemes, frequently
abhorrent to- the rank and file: so 1t
was at the late Toronto convention.
The paid delegates would applaud
and ~.'resolute'' as Gompers wanted,
but now and then some of the real
workinomen insist on being heard,
sometimes at the risk OF their lives.
Delegate Egan is reported 10 have
said at the Toronto convention:
IF the officers Of the federation
would only adhere TO the law we
would think a lot more of them

WorkingmeD's Assn OF Canada

saying amy union having its seat OF
Govt in America, and pretending to
be international in its scope, must
fight Industrial battles according . o
American methods. Said methods
have consequences which are abhcs-
rent to the %law-abiding people of Can,
ada involving hunger, misery, riot,
~bloodshed and murder, alb OF which
might be termed a result Of the prac-
teal war now in progress in our fair
province and directed by foSeign ennis

That is an honest Canadian view OF
our infamous Labor Trust"
