ASKS IMPEACHMENT
OF MAYOR WILSON
Bridgeport c. l.. U. Draws Up Set of
Resolutions Bearing On COnvic-
ton of Its Leaders.

Bridgeport, Aug. 12.-The Central
Labor Union at it's meeting last night
drew up a new set of resolutions bear
ing upon the arrest and conviction of
George J. Bowen, Frederick Cedar
holm, and Louis Nelson for breach of
the peace in disregarding Mayor Will
sons order that they should not ad-
dress an open air meeting of employees
OF the Locomobile company on labor
matters.
The new resolution calls for the
impea chment of Mayor Wilson, and a
Judicial review of the decision of
Judge Frank L. Wilder, which found
against the three defendants.
It is planned that a copy of these
resolutions shall be given to each
labor union in the city for individual
ratification, the Central Labor Union
simply being the central body of dele
gates without power over the action
IF the unions themselves. It is also
proposed to have the resolutions in
troduced in the counclI, because the
claim is that the previous set has been
shelved by the committee to which
they were referred. The committee to
handle the situation are Jasper Nc
Levy, Julius E. Seipert, James Dunn,
George Smith and Henry Englehardt.
