United labor bulletin., 1910-08-25

Mr. Hally spoke at length and denied
each assertion, and appealed to the del
egates that out of fairness a committee
should be appointed to investigate the
charges that they might be verified or
if found to be false that retraction be
made in the paper. He said he had con-
suited an attorney and that he had been
informed that he had a good case for
criminal libel, but did not desire to
bring suit, but desired to know who was
responsible for the article, claiming that
he could have all the officers OF the
League arrested. The motion for the
committee was made by Chester Com
mon that Mr.. Hally's request be granted
The motion carried, and President White

mon, Harry Parker. Clarence Cox and L.
NJ. French as the committee to either
commend The Bulletin or endorse the
actions of George A. Hally.

reply on the floor of the League. but the
delegates can expect an accounting to

sires to say here that he and he alone Is
responsible for the article denouncing
Mr.. Hally. and the delegates, business
committee and officers should be exon
Grated as the article, on account of an
oversight. was not brought to their at
tention by the editor.
The editor desires further to explain
that the line which reads: He has no
place, and should not have, in the labor
movement" was not meant to advocate
that Mr.. Hally should be expelled from
his local (for many card holders have
been found wanting), but that he should
be removed from the public eye and
from any connection with the promotion
of great things.
