WHO BACKED 7
Aldermen of the city of Chicago
were charged yesterday by the Chi
cago Federation Of Labor with
treason to the city.
That body passed a resolution
charging the ordinance permitting
the sale of the automatic telephone
company was passed with the aid of
certain corrupt aldermen, city Off
Gals, attorneys and newspaper pub
Hshers," and then went on to recon-
mend that a copy "of this resolution
be sent to the mayor, all of the alder
men, to Atty Walter Fisher and to
Victor F. Lawson, editor of the Daily
News"
A number Of the delegates spoke
against it. They attempted to talk
along and stall for time so that the
delegates would get tired and leave
the meeting to those who wanted to
railroad this measure back to the ex-
ecutive board.
This move was frustrated by Pres
Fitzpatrick, who stepped right out in
the open and warned "dirty politi-
clans to keep their hands away from
the federation" that the federation
was not in politics and that it never
would be so long as he was at its
head
Emmett Flood, organized for the
American Federation of Labor, said
he was suspicious of such a measure
and that he didn't think that some of
j the men prominent in the Public
Ownership league were acting in
good faith.
eff I'm to be told that I'm the
twisted tool of the league, I'll re-
sign" said Fitzpatrick. You put me
there. We are nOn-politicaI and we
are going to have the gumptiOn to
stand I'm and declare ourselves :"

was going. It directly charged that
this 100000 was velvet; that it
went into the pockets of attorneys,
aldermen, city officials and newspa-
per publishers for assisting in the

Some delegates asked why they
should repudiate certain aldermen
who had always stood with organ
lied labor and who went wrong on
this telephone steal
Aid O'Toole's name was brought
into the discussion. Delegate Ros-
seIle said O'Toole had been 100 per
cent perfect up to the time of the
vote on the phone ordinance.
