"Your Credentials Committee gave
careful consideration to the creden-
tials submitted by Claude NJ. Baker,
President, Glenn l.. Mitchell, Nicho-
las M. DiPietro, Elmer David Mann
ing, William II. Harris and Henry F..
Clemens, representing the lnterna-
tional Typographical Union, and to
the question Of the legal right Of said
delegates to participate in the pro-
ceedings Of the F'ifty-Ninth Annual
Convention Of the American Fedora

Failed TO Pay Assessments Levied by
A. +. Of l.. Convention
"The financial record kept by Sec
retary-Treasurer Morrison shows that
the International Typographical Union
failed TO pay the one cent per men,
ber per month assessment which was
levied by the Ffty-Seventh Annual
Convention Of the American Fedora
tion of Labor which was held at Den
yer, Colorado, and the Fifty Eighth
Annual Convention which was held at
Houston, Texas.
"rhe proceedings of the Fifty
Eighth Annual Convention shows that
one year ago delegates representing
the International Typographical Union
were accorded seats in the convention
in response to their appeal to be ac-
corded wider opportunity to prevail
upon the membership of the Inter-
national Typographical Union to pay
the one cent per member per month
assessment due the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
ut is fair to assume that all con-
cerned, both the representatives of
the International Typographical Union
and the delegates in attendance at
the Houston Convention, acted in good
faith. The delegates from the Inter-
national Typographical Union were
seated because their co-delegates at
the Houston Convention firmly and
fully believed that the International
Typographical Union would, during
the course Of the ensuing year, pay

the full amount Of the assessment
due.
!. r. L. Adopted Resolution On the
Assessment
"Now President Baker and hia as
sociates advised the Credentials Com
mittee that they lacked authority
consequently they were unable TO pay
the assessment due the American
Federation Of Labor or TO give any
assurance whatever that said assess
ment would he ultimately paid In
stead, they submitted a resolution
which they advised was adopted at
the convention Of the international
Typographical Union which was held
at Forth Worth, Texas, beginning Au-
gust 10, 1889. 1t is clearly set forth
in this resolution that continued affili.
alton can not be dependent upon the
international Typographical Union
paying said assessment
A. +. Of l.. Constitution Empowers
Conventions to Levy Assessments
"When your Credentials Committee
was confronted with this ultimatum, it
was forced to consider Section 2 OF
Article X of the Constitution Of the
| American Federation Of Labor which
reads as follows:
"'Delegates shall not be entitled
to a seat in the regular or special
conventions unless the tax and as
sessments Of their organization, as
provided for in Section /, Article X
and assessments as provided for in
Article XII, Sections and 2, have been
paid in full to the second month pre-
ceding the regular or special conven-
tion.'
"Section ! of Article X referred to
in this section reads as follows:
"'The revenue of the Federation
shall be derived from per capita tax
to be paid upon the full paid-up mem
bership of all affiliated bodies as fol-
lows: From international or National
Trade Unions, a per capita tax Of one
cent per member per month; from
Local Trade Unions and Federal La.

cents Of which must be set aside to
be used only in the case of strike OF
lockout unless otherwise ordered by
the Executive Council; the amount re-
ceived by the American Federation OF
Labor on each initiation fee from all
directly affiliated local unions shall be
25 per cent of the total initiation fee
received by the local union from the
individual, but in no case shall the
amount received by the American
Federation of Labor be less than 81
from Central and State bodies $40 per
year, payable quarterly. Revenue may
also be derived from assessments
when and as ordered by a majority
vote Of a regular or special conven-
! tion.'
"These quotations from the con-
stitution of the American Federation
of Labor clearly show that conven-
tions of the American, Federation OF
Labor possess full, e hplete and un-
limited authority to levy assessments
by majority vote at either a reg
ular or a special convention; and fur
thermore, international unions which
have failed to pay assessments levied
at either regular or special conven-
ton are ineligible to representation in

"A study Of the record made at
conventions Of the American Fedora
ton Of Labor and Of the laws Of the
American Federation Of Labor makes
it clear that full authority is con-
ferred upon conventions Of the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor to levy as
seSsments and the same record shows
that the assessment Of one cent per
member per month which the Inter
national Typographical Union has re-
fused TO pay was imposed by more
than majority vote Of The delegates
in attendance at the convention; in
fact, the record clearly establishes the
fact that the delegates in attendance
at the Denver Convention unanimously
voted to levy the assessment and the
delegates representing the lnterna-
tional Typographical Union all voted
to levy said one cent per member per
month assessment. Thus, the Inter
national Typographical Union as
sumed contradictory position. It's
delegates voted TO levy the assess
ment which the international Union
stubbornly refuses to pay.
A. +. Of l.. Constitution and Laws
Apply Equally to All Affiliated
Unions
"For obvious reasons, it would be
distruptive Of the morale of the mem
bership Of the American Federation
Of Labor and a blow at definite legal
procedure for the American Fedora
tion of Labor to require all national
and international unions affiliated
with it, with the exception of the In
ternational Typographical Union, to
pay the assessment Of one cent per
member per month i'm order to be en-
titled to representation at conventions
of the American Federation Of Labor.
at would be in violation Of orderly
procedure for the American Fedora
tion Of Labor to permit one interna-
tional union to enjoy special favors,
to be eXonerated from the payment
of the assessment, and to require all
other international unions to meet
their obligations and to pay the as
sessment in full.

"For these special reasons your
Committee on Credentials recommends
that the delegates from the Interna-

seats in the Fifty Ninth Annual Con-
vention of the American Federation of

further recommends that the law re-
garding the payment of the assess

ROCHESTER, Mimi, July 28.-
White-haired DR.. William j. Mayo
son of country doctor who trained
him to become one of medical his
tory's greatest surgeons, died in his
sleep at 4 am. today from an all
ment upon the treatment of which
he gained much of his fame. He
was 78 years old June 20.
"Dr. Will underwent an opera
ton for a serious stomach condi-
ton May % at famed Mayo Clinic
here, founded by his father, his late
brother, DR.. Charles H. Mayo, and
himself more than half a century
ago.
The clinic, to which persons came
for treatment from all over the
world, will continue, as during the
past 10 years, under the administra-
ton of a board of governors. Both
DR.. Will and DR.. Charles Mayo
retired from the board five years ago
and had aided since then only in an
advisory capacity.
The brother surgeons, planning
for continuation of the medical cen
ter, set up the board of governors
about 10 years ago, when they laid
aside their surgeons instruments.
Members of Board.
Members of the board are Drs.
M. S. Henderson, A. r. Barnes, D. c.
Balfour, F. G. Mann, D. M. Berk-
man, R. D. Mussey and Waltman
Walters and Clinic Manager H. j.
Harwick.
Physical properties of the clinic
are owned by the Mayo Properties
Foundation, formed several years
ago.
He rallied, even resuming his
visits to his Office and went on
short automobile trips, but by July
he. had begun to decline" in the
words of attending physicians, and
his death followed.
At his bedside were Mrs. Mayo,
two daughters and their husbands.
His death removed within a short
space of few months the last of as
famous a trio as the medical world
has known. Last March 81 Sister
Mary joseph, who stood across an
operating table from Or. Will' for
quarter of a century and was
called by him easily the first of
all his splendid assistants" died
here. On May 26 "Dr. Charlie" died
in Chicago from pneumonia even
while DIR. Will" was apparently re-
cuperating from his operation.
Brothers Death a Factor.
DIR Will" began feeling poorly
last spring and cut short vacation
with his family in Tucson, Ariz., to
return here. 1t was on a similar re-
turn trip few weeks later that Or.
Charlie was stricken with pneu-
monia.
An operation, such as DIR. Will"
had performed hundreds of times
was decided upon, with DR.. Walt
man Walters, husband of his
daughter Phoebe, performing it.

Made Rochester a Mecca.
The Mayo brothers surgical skill
and passion for research made
Rochester, a city of $4,000 in South
eastern Minnesota, a Mecca alike
for the ailing and for knowledge
seeking surgeons from all sections of
the globe.
Sons Of an English born country
doctor who settled in the valley of
the Minnesota River in 1855 and
combined farming with medical
work, when, he wasn't fighting In
dians, the brothers followed their
bents for medical and surgical
science, acquired Unsuitable thirsts
for knowledge and developed deep
feelings of responsibility for ailing
humanity.
Working in partnership when they
took over their fathers practice,
they early began setting aside part
OF their earnings and out of this
fund grew two enormous projects,
the Mayo Clinic and the Mayo
Foundation for Medical Education
and Research.
The one cured the ills of hundreds
OF thousands Of patients. The other
gave younger men and women
technique and knowledge which was
spread over the world as the
Rochester trained medicos scattered
to practice.
Specialized on Cancer.
The brothers made themselves
World-renoWned as surgeons by con-
slant study at home and abroad and
by natural aptitude for their work.
Each was noted for his ability to
operate in almost every field, but
each too had his speciality. While
his younger brother preferred to
work on eye, ear, nose and throat,
the chief interest of ''Dr. Will' was
surgery of the abdomen.

They were convicted in Madison
In 1887 on charges of conspiring to
raise and fix gasoline prices in 10
Midwestern States, in violation of
the antitrust laws. The appellate
court held that the case should have
been submitted to the Madison jury
on the question of whether there
was unreasonable restraint of inter-
state commerce, instead of on the
question of whether there was an
antitrust law violation.
Originally there were 72 Defend

verdict and freed II, granted new
