Service, K. B. Nolan, secretary treas
urer of the International Seamen's
Union Of America, at his Office here,
said:
Powers was probably brought in
to create the impression that there
is a division in the ranks of the
union seamen. The fact is that our
organization is giving whole-hearted
and enthusiastic support to the La
Toilette Wheeler ticket. 1t was La
Toilette who introduced and brought
about the passage Of the famous Sea-
mems act, for which he is loved and
revered not only by the organized
seamen of America, but by the sea-
faring men of the entire world. Poor
old Dick Powers. 1t is now a quar-
ter Of century since he was ousted
from membership in the seamen's
union, away back in 1889. 1t is true
that at one time he was connected
with the old National Seamen's
Union, but since the opening of the
present century he has not had any
connection with any organization of
seamen. Dick, like his colleague,
Dan Smith, has been making a liv-
ing by serving as a federal employee
for many years. Chairman Butler
must have been hard put when he
had to haul old Dick out of his
snug berth and RIG him nm for pub-
lie exhibition as an alleged leader
of the Seamen's Union. The per-
Torrance was amusing, to say the
least"

ident of the Switchmen's Interna-
tional organization and who has
been appointed by the general presi-
dent to assist in bringing about the
success of the La Toilette Wheeler
ticket in this district. Mr.. Corners
says that Smith has not held an Of
fetal position in the union during
the last four years, but has been a
political lieutenant of Roy o. West
during that time.
Another one of the Tabor lead
ers" that Mr.. Butler had on his list
is E. M. Foley, announced as "Presi-
dent of the International Dredge-
mems Union" ]. w. Tracy, Chicago
district representative of the Interna-
tional Brotherhood of Steam Shovel
and Dredgemen, was asked about
Foley. Tracy said that Foley had no
connection with his organization,
which is for La Toilette and Wheeler,
he declared most emphatically. Tracy
said that Foley was identified with a
small union operating on the Great
Lakes and whose membership totaled
about 175, land not more than 200
at the most"
David Evans, secretary of the In
ternational Union of Steam and OPP
Grating Engineers, was very angry
over the announcement of Chairman
Butler that he was lining up the sta
tionary engineers under the leader
ship of George Dolan." Mr.. Evans
said:
"You can say for me that there is
no officer in this organization, either
local or international, by that name,
and we seriously doubt whether
George Dolan is even a member of
our union. We are for La Toilette
and Wheeler 100 per cent. Our Off
