in which he heard recently in ses-
sion of supreme court in PittsfeId.
Mass.
They follow:
This is an appeal from decree of
the probate court allowing the second
and final account Of the petitioner as
administrator of the estate of Oscar
S Roberts.
- At the hearing before me, counsel
for the appellants expressly waived
in open court all objections to the ac-
count except the charges of the adj
ministrator for services and the action
of the estate in certain partnership
accounts for the sum Of $3.50.
- find that the charges of the ad-
miuistrator for services amounting to
$500 in view of the character of the
services rendered are fair and reason
able.
II find that the charges of the ad-
ministrator sold the interest of the
partnership accounts for what they
were reasonably worth and in making
such sale acted in good faith and in the
exercise of sound discretion. The ap
pcllant 5 requests for rulings are giver
and the requests for findings are de

ment of 81 union men in the Chicago
Federation of Labor yesterday after
noon after a bitter fight. 65 voted
against him.
The vote was taken at the end of
a long-dragged out meeting after a
great number of delegates had left
the hall. AS means of preventing
this result from showing the feeling
of the entire Federation Vice-Presi-
dent Oscar F. Nelson announced that
he would move for a reconsideration
of the vote at the next meeting when
all the delegates would be present.
The Harding forces were led by Ed
win R. Wright and Harding himself.
On the opposite side were lined Vic
tor A. Olander, Margaret Haley, Os-
car F. Nelson, John Karl and other
progressive members of the organiza-
ton.
The fight started when the school
committee reported back on the reso-
luton indorsing Mrs. Ella Flagg
Young, which was offered by Mrs.
Raymond Robins two weeks ago, and
the amendment praising Harding
which was offered by the Allied Print
ing Trades Council.
The committee announced they
had decided to take no action on the
Mrs. Young resolution, as she has
since been reappointed to the posi-
ton from which she was ousted.
But the~fght came on when the
committee announced that it also had
decided to bury the Harding amend
ment, as his fight was now in the
courts.
The Harding Wright forces imme-
diately demanded an Endorsement of
Harding. Olander, after asking that
the Chicago Federation refrain from
getting into fight over the ques-
ton, then let out the sensational in
formation that Harding in court was

Olander also charged Harding with
having entered into a political al
lance with Carter H. Harrison, who
is on union labor's unfair list. The
fact that Harding gave an undated
resignation to Harrison was offered
as proof.
Harding denied Olander's charges.
Edwin R. Wright in attacking Mrs.
Young also criticized the Federation
in yelled way because delegates had
attacked John D. Shoop for his al
legiance to the Association of Com
merce. Mr. Wright's speech was in
praise of the association.
Oscar Nelson charged that the
Harding and Wright faction was de-
liberately delaying the game until the
anti-Harding forces had been de-
pleted.
A rising vote was taken.
The committee on unemployed also
turned IN the following report:

session with the special committee
