ployed in Offices Of

Today's session of the convention of
the United Brotherhoodof Carpenters
and Joiners at the National Rofies Hail.

Gus debate on the question of seating
delegates.
The main point involved was whittier
or not twelve men in the employ of
the national officers of the brotherhood
as organizers were entitled to be seated
as delegates.
According to Secretary Duffy, who ex-
planned the misunderstanding, II seems
that at the last convention a law was
passed prohibiting organizers from be-
Ing seated as delegates. but that there Is
provision In the brotherhood's consti-
tuition seatiny any man as delegate
who iB in good standing with the union.
The question will come to vote late
this afternoon. The sentiment seems in
favor Of seating the organizers.
Former Mayor Mccarthy, of San
Francisco, delegate t6-eAe- conven-
tion, was kept busy today receiving
congratulations from his brother union
men at being the father OF ten-pound
boy. The. stork visited the Mccarthy
home in San Francisco early yester-
day morning. A telegram announcing
the arrival of the baby was received in
