Gallagher Raises Question

Andrew J. Gallagher. representatives
of the California State Federation OF
Labor, raised the question of financial
laid 10 the men on trial IN fndians +nhss
ffe offered an an,ehdniSnf 90 f.i ,5s)it
OF the committee on the presidents re-
port, recommending tlrat the balance in
the McNamara defense fund he devoted to
the defense of the Indianapolis defend
ants. His amendment was rejected by
the chair on a point of order that the
money In question is In the custody
of the Mcnamara defense committee
and therefore not at the disposal of the
federation.
The report of the committee on pres
ident's report was adopted without
amendment and directly afterward
James b. Conroy of the International
Brotherhod of Foundry Employees pre-
sented the motion urging international
and local labor bodies to give financial
assistance 10 the accused men. The mo-
ton was adopted without dissenting
vote.
The presidents report committee de-
fined the attitude of the federation In
the so-called "dynamiting" case includ-
ing the Mcnamara cases in these
words:
THE American labor movement, as
represented in the American Federation
of Labor, will neither countenance nor
condone any one who. under the cloak
of trade unionism. undertakes to carry
on criminal warfare on society. That
some of the men are guilty of carry
ing on such warfare appears from the
confession they made relative to their
connection with these crimes. That fvr
cry man must be considered innocent
until proven guilty has always been ac-
cepted as a fundamental principle of
our Jurisprudence and In the consider
affon of his case before the courts he
is entitled to a fair and impartial
trial

Rochester, n. r.. November 22.-The

ity required, to revoke the charter of

The conventions refusal to act in
the electrical workers dispute involved
a refusal to return the charter of the
Alameda county, California, Central La
bor union The charter was recalled
when the union refused to unseat del
egates from the electrical workers
faction, which is not recognized by the
federation. The committee on adjust
