As A. F. |. Official
George E. Browne Loses
Vice Presidency and
Executive Council Post
py the Associated Press.

EN IHS ASSbIldlCu
SEATTLE, Oct. 15.-The Amer
lean Federation of Labor headed into
the final hours of its 61st conven-
ton today, still buzzing over the
overwhelming vote by which George
E. Browne was denied reelection as
11th A. F. L. vice president and
Executive Council member.
Browne is on trial with Willie
Bioff, West Coast theatrical labor
leader. in New York on a charge of
extorting S550000 from motion pic
ture companies in violation of the
Anti i-Racketeering Act Browne is
president of the International Alli-
ance of Theatrical Stage Employees.
Convention veterans said the ST.
e44-to- 42l-vote by which Edward
F1ore of Buffalo defeated Browne
for the vice presidency was one of
the most one sided ever cast in an
A. F. L. election.
It was Brownies nomination,
rather than his defeat, which came
as a surprise to the convention dele
gates after they had adopted, earlier
in the day, a strongly-worded anti
racketeering resolution.
Mr. Flore, president of the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Union
and incumbent 18th vice president
of the A. F. L., was nominated for
Brownies position. The general
convention impression had been,
until shortly before the election
hour, that Browne would not be
placed in nomination.
Browne was nominated by dele
gates from his union. The only
votes he got were the 420 votes of
the three stage employees union dele
gates and one vote from the Colo
rado State Federation of Labor dele
gate, also a member of Brownies
union.
A. F. L. President William Green
was reelected by acclamation for
the 18th time. Unanimous votes
also were cast for the other II vice
presidents, who compose the EXecu-
tive Council. and Secretary Treas
urer George Meany. The new terms
begin the first of the year.
