Especial Dispatch to me ISfoNneJ
ST. PAUL, June 15.-Feeling here
among the delegates to the annual con-
vention OF the American Federation of
Labor concerning the record of BenJa-
min Schlesinger, of New York. on 10y
atty measures has been bitter at times.
The matter never has been major is
sue in the convention. for it is felt that
Sccielist opposition is insignificant, and
if the issue were brought to head 1t
might cause false appearance Of dis
unity among the labor forces in their
support of the government. But In the
Hobbies of the St. Paul Hotel, the con-
vention headquarters, the talk some
times has been heated.
Feeling first fared up when Mr..
Schlesinger. president of the lnterna-
tional Ladies Garment Workers Union,
voted against the printing Of the report
Of the Federation Labor Mission to
France and England. AS Socialist he
protested against the wording of pas
sage implying that the Socialist poll
ticians OF France and England did not
truly represent the laboring class.
Failing to have his protest sustained,
he. together with other delegates from
his union, voted against the report.
Gompers Stops Discussion
William Dobson, delegate from the
Bricklayers', Masons' and Plasterers'
Union, participated in the discussion
by asking whether the previous record
Of these delegates had been in harmony
with the principles of the federation.
President Gompers declared the ques-
ton out of order and shut off discus
SIGN.
The next day, however, Frank Duffy,
and vice president of the federation,
created mild sensation by refusing to
sit on the organization committee with
Mr.. Sehlesinger, unless the latter
apologized for his vote. Schlesinger
refused to apologize, giving at the
same time little loyalty speech in
defence of himself.
On each of the two succeeding days
the New York Socialist took the floor
for a moment to protest about some
thing or other relatedyto the question
of loyalty.
Mr.. Schlesingers friends are in
clined to attribute the attacks to per-
sonal motives.
Schlesinger's Statement
Mr.. Schlesinger's statement in part

"The international Ladies Garment

has bought 100000 wor h Of Liberty
bonds and has in every instance sup

tarism and autocracy.
LAS to my vote on the report Of the
labor mission, President G mpers has
stated that I needed no defence
questioned that passage in the reNort,
which implied that the Soc alist lead
ers in Europe do not truly represent

Mr. Schlesinger is being groomed for
vice president and member of the ex
ecutive council to oppose II. B. Perham.
Max Gorenstein, de egate from the
Ladies' Garment Workers, asserted to-
day that Mr.. Schlesinger will get the
vote of call the pr gtcssive frees"
