national convention In Chicago last
week. and II was scarcely what could
be called u success. The official list Of
delegates showed thai 7as presented
credentials. hui n good many Of them
faded away before The convention
came TO close. Moreover. not one

was represented. and Of the $4,000 10
ciiI unions In The American Federation
Of Labor and COCO independent unions
only 642 sent delegates. One delegate
from Boston said about 50 per cent Of

mind toward the reds who had been
caught in the federal net. There may
be more about him later on.
