officers and delegates, threatened dis

The trouble arose over consideration
Of resolution that, had 1t been adopt

resolution, offered by the adjustment
committee, called for the suspension of
the United Brotherhood of Carpenters
& Joiners, the second largest interna-
tional union in America.
The resolution to withdraw the car
penters' union was the result of the
failure of the organization to refrain
from alleged encroaching upon juris-
diction awarded the machinists, cou-
pied with the carpenters unions atti-
tude toward the federation.
Gompers Fears Split.
In the course of the debate, Samuel
Gompers, president of the federation,
said:

ideals Of human brotherhood"
John b. Lennon, opposing the expul-
