meetings, held twice a week, These
meetings are arranged in such parts

Continue Attack on Left Wing.
The attacks on the left wing PRO
coed with monotonous regularity at
this most reactionary convention the
cap and millinery union has ever
held. At yesterdays session Roberts,
secretary-treasurer of the organiza-
ton, told why all the left wing re-
solutions had been thrown into the
waste basket without being read to
the convention. One such resolution,
Roberts declared, was "an insult to
the American Federation of Labor"
Another, which called for the organ
lzatlon of young workers, was also
thrown away because it was a Com
munist resolution" Apparently only
Communists would ever be so idiotic
as actually to propose the organiza-
ton Of young workers!
The resolution signed by the group
Of fighting left wing delegates
who were elected despite the terror
ism and corruption that marked the
machine-controlled balloting, propos-
ing that all cap and millinery work
kers in New York be amalagamated

ers Industrial Union, was voted down
amid venomous attacks on the in
dustrial union by the chief machine
harpies.
Anti USSR Resolution.
Following the lead of the last con-
vention of the socialist party, a re-
solution was adopted demanding the
release of all political prisoners in
Guiding counter-revolutionaries in
the Soviet Union. 1t is interesting
to note that this resolution, as we'll
as all other reactionary measures,
received the vote of Bergstein, To-
ronto delegate, who was expelled
from the Communist Party Of
Canada for Trotskyist activities.
This "super-revolutionist" has at
this convention sold out completely
to the machine.
A shamelessly hypocritical resolu-
ton against injunctions was adopted
by the same machine henchmen who
had secured an injunction against

Left Wing Delegates Fight.
The left wing delegates, despite
the attempts to crash them, are in
jecting the only militant note into
this dull, reactionaIy convention by
tirelessly against the unicn-
machine proposals and ex-
posing the hypocrisy and treachery
of the Zaritsky henchmen. In the
discussion on proposals for terror
izing all progressive elements in the
union, Delegate Smoliak, of st. Paul,
declared:
Despite the policy of terrorism
and intimidation practiced by the
leadership, we will continue
to fight within the International for
the conditions of the
workers. But if We are expelled, we
will not remain unorganized, but
will join the industrial union that
represents the interests of all the
needle workers"

PROUD MAYOR CHICAGO
 DIES; CANCER PANCREAS

CHICAGO, sept.1a, (R)-Wil- liam Emmett Devor, the Square Mayor of Chicago" died here last week after years of illness brought on by cancer of the pancreas. The following is a short account of his life, as submitted to the Nugget by the (P) morgue service:
 During a public service of 25 years William E. Dever regarded his accomplishments merely as duties and work that had been ex- pected of him.
 Thus, when he concluded a four-year administration as mayor of Chicago hsi proudest boast was that no civic scandal had marred his term of office.
 There has not been a scandal in the city hall for four years" he said. "and that is unique"
 Yet his administra tion had been notable for it's constructive legis- lation and it's epochal public i'm provements It's achievements had been substantial, although not spectacular. Wacker Drive, Chic ago's famous double-decked boule- yard, was completed during his term and Mayor Dever pushed through the legislation that made possible the traightening of the Chicago River.
 A split in the Republican ranks which caused Mayor William Hale Thompson to withdraw from the race for renomination in 1922 gave the Democrats the oppor tunity to capture the mayoralty. Judge Dever, who had been an all derman from 1902 to 1910, maj ority leader during two Democra- tic administra tions and judge of the Superior and Appellate Courts thirteen years. was selected to lead llitHl. HIS lltdi Sil OI NittolN Ndo 105,O00 votes.
 Mayor Dever chose his cabinet from among the ablest civic and business leaders of Chicago with out regard to politics or creed. His selections did not meet with favor from some "good govern ment" societies that adiudged his appointees wholly unqualified for office" One city voters lea que, however. paid him this compli- ment: By his leadership and jul dicious use oft he veto he has done much to make up for the shortcomings of one of the worst city coucils Chicago ever had"
 An accusa tion by the federal district attorney in 1926 that the city administration was winking at liquor law violators, aroused the civic and official pride of Mayor Dever He stormed down to Wash ington to offer testimony before a senate committee Investigating
