news OF the WiLnuTdWdl OF
George L. Berry, president. of
the International Pressman's
Union, from the LaFolIette
campaign; of the dissatisfaction
on the part of the treasurer for
LaF oIlette's labor end, Warren
S. Stone, of the locomotive en-
gineers; divisions in LaFollette's
ranks in New York, and the
withdrawal of another local of
the AmaIgamated CIothin G
Workers of America, mark the
latest developments in the CAM
paign of the Wisconsin senator.
Berry, who had haunted the
democratic national convention
in search for the vice-presiden-
tial nomination on the basis of
a strike breaking record in his
own union, has now come out
for John w. Davis, in spite of a
pledge to LaFollette made three
weeks ago.
Stone Is Sore.
Warren s. Stone, in spite of the
over-persistent statements that he
will stick, is obviously disgruntled.
Because of a resolution passed at the
last convention of the Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers, he had AFRO
gated to himself the power to dispense
the funds of the organization as he
saw fit. And he spent lavishly, to the
tune of at least $4,000, to boost La
Toilette, but with one good eye al
ways towards the vice-presidential
nomination on Bob's slate.
LaFollette, always careful about
giving any representation to labor
that was not absolutely imperative,
chose, instead, Wheeler. For this,
Stone will probably never forgive him,
his statements of allegiance to the
contrary Notwithstanding. But Bob
is not worried.
Even Young Bob" in touching up
on the rumored resignation of Stone,
relegated him to unimportance by say
ing: at would be without signih-
canoe even If it occurred insofar as it
would indicate his being out of SYM
pathy with the campaign"
New York Difficulties.
In New York, the pernially hope
full Socialist Party has managed to
worm itself into number of strate-
gic positions in the local Conference
for Progressive Political Action. In
calling a local conference, they over
looked the Tammany Hall politicians
who are in control of the New York
portion of the American Federation of
Labor.
When the call for the conference
was issued, the leaders of the Central
Labor Council of New York sent out
a circular letter in opposition to the
meeting. And all of Abraham Tuvim's
declarations that ''the incident is triv-
ial" will not hide the fact that Tam
many Hall leaders do not intend to
Join in with the S. P. takers who hope
that the local conference Of the
@. P. P. A. may possibly endorse Nor
man Thomas, socialist candidate, for
governor. Tuvim is the manager of
the labor division Of LaFollette in
New York.
I'VE want to endorse as many
friends Of labor as possible and the
candidates most popular among the
members of the unions" said John
Coughlin, secretary Of the Central La
Dor Council Of New York. This
means the continued endorsement of
Tammany Hall or G. o. P. takers with
LaFollette carrying OF the presidential
endorsement laurels.
AmaIgamated Local Protests.

cal So. Amalgamated Clothing Work
