way Employees, to obtain settlement
of the New Orleans street car strike,
delegates to the annual convention Of
the organization today delivered a re-
buke to J. Foster, president of the New
Orleans District Labor Council. for his
criticism of Mahon.
Foster yesterday telegraphed asking
the convention to condemn the action
of Mahon in approving the compromise
suggested by officials Of the American
Feeration Of Labor for ending the
strike. Replying to Foster the conven-
ton said 'the delegates resent your
unwarranted criticism" ~.-#
Mahon, when he received details Of
the proposed settlement. said he felt
definite assurance that all strikers
would be re-employed must be- given
before it would be acceptable.
The telegram dispatched by the con.
vention said:
Our delegates in convention assem-
ranted criticism and regret you have
not sought the facts as to President
Mahon's position before rushing into
condemnation that, Is wholly uncalled
for"

vention ito condemn the action of your
