lowing wire received: 1T is my opin-
ion that the decision of President
Jepsen and the Seattle central body
in unseating delegates to the Central
Labor Council becomes effective i'm
mediately and that suspended dele
gates are ineligible to the seats in
the central body pending decision on
their appeal to the executive council
of the American Federation of Labor,

to the vice president and in half min

said that he was supported by Green
as the wire proved, and that the
matter was out of the councils hands
and he will not obligate the two dele
gates. No one from either side spoke,
but all looked on curiously and did
not care for what was said in Green's
wire nor what Jepsen said.
