teJECTiON OF WILSON
BACKED BY ITS CHIEF
Bdwurd A. Kecnan, President,
Condemns Plan to Railroad
Resolution Indornlng the
Democratic Candidate
SCHEME OUT OP ORDER
Labor unionists In lhl city today are din
MHtitc an uttempt mnd jresterdsy to rall
tMd a resolution Indorsing: the candidacy
wt PfsMent Wllwin at a secret meeting of
' Mm Philadelphia. Central Labor Union, 212
Mtorth Ninth Mreet.
Tlie roaolutlon was condemned In bitter
It ma by Edward A. Kesnan, president of
jshe central labor body, and finally It was
declared out of order and tabled Indefinitely
After the meeting Keenan declared In the
meet emphatic terma that "no political no
tion waa taken by the Central tabor Union.
The union la a body repreientlna; labor
and doea not dabble In politic."
When questioned aa to a Wilton rcsolu
Mn, he denied that any had been mad?
eraeh a resolution, he asserted, waa out of
order, and therefore he refused to con
aMeT It,
"In this," ha added. "I waa eupported by
th Central Labor Union more stronuly
Mian ever before, although since becoming
president of the union I have always taken
that stand and fought for It "
Although the Central Labor Union usually
adjourns promptly at 6 o'clock, yesterday's
meeting, because of the politics Infused
Into It, did not conclude until after 7
C'elock, and all the members were strangely
xllent as to exactly what went on In the
meeting Yet, aa some of them left they
smiled or swore, according to whether or
not they were pleased by the fate of thb
resolution
At one crucial stage of the meeting tho
doors awung open, displaying Keenan on
r his feet and before the doom were again
closed by tho interested doorman he was
heard to ahouti '
"I am going to vote for Woodrow Wilson,
but that Is no reason why the Central
Labor Union should back nny candidal
Thta body Is representative only of the
worklngmen who are union men and Js no
place for political discussion's The men
who hava made thls.an occasion to deliver
such a political gpeecR are misrepfeSentlnc
their respective locals. Furthermore, I
have had quite a bit -of experience In. labor
bodies and I never knew titty candidate
who was backed by the labor, organisation!
to win at the polls."
Another meeting o,f.h union will be
held the Sunday before election day. Yes
terday's fight evidently represented tho
crucial effort of the political and Wilson
element to have the candidacy of the Pres
ident Indorsed, following a like movement
by the American Federation of Labor. The
absence of several of the prominent lead
ers of the labor movement In this city points
strongly to thin view.
60MPERS' IDEA TO DELIVER
VOTE WAS PLANNED AS COUP
Democrats and Republicans Amazed by
Audncity of Schema
WASHINGTON, Oct,, M, The action, of
R&muel Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labqr, An attempting to de
liver to the Democratic party the entire
labor vote of the country Is one of the big
coups which President Wilson's campaign
managers Intended to pull off before the
election.
Democrats and Republicans alike were
amated at the, audacity of the scheme
by which Oompers hopes to throw the
-whole labor vote of the United Htates to
'the President 'Never before In the hls-
tory of tho United States has there been
an effort made openly to dellve'r the vote
f of organised labor to ope party. Leading
labor unionists for years hae fought
against the mixing of labor affairs In par
tisan politics, declaring that If the down
fall of the labor cause Js ever accomplished
It would bo such tactics that would
do it. There Is much comment on the fact
that President- Compere was recently
charged by Senator Sherman with at
tempting to deliver the trade unionists to
President Wilson.

Political Caldron in Ferment
Over Charge That He Made
Deal With "American In
dependence Conference"
PLATFORM PLANK QUOTED
NHW YOrtlf, Oct 21 A second state
ment from the Democratic Nat cmal Com
mittee, following one from tho same source
made public early today, In which It was
charged that Charles K. Hughes had met
In secret and "made ft campaign deal" with
Irish Americans and German -Americans,
was Issued this nfternoon. It quotes "a
plank" adopted by the American Inde
pendence Conference following the alleged
"agreement" with Mr Hughes. This second
statement vvns followed by n challenge from
llepubllcnn National Chairman Wlllcox for
the Democrats to produco such nn agree
ment. The Interchange from the rival head
quarters kept the political pot boiling here
today with the hyphen Issue
To the Democrat charge that Hughes en
tered Into n "secret agreement' with tho
pro-Ocrman organisation Wlllcox entered
emphatic denial nhd characterized the
charges ns ' the cheapest kind of adver
tising In the Interests of a lost cause."
-AMERICAN INDKPKNDlJNCi:' PLANK
Tho Democrats quoted what was said lo
be the plank adopted by the American In
dependence Conference calling upon the
people to "condemn the abject" surrender of
"American rights to Mexico nml Kuropenn
nations" and support Hughes
This plank, according to the statement
from national Democratic headquarters,
read :
Wo call upon thci American people to
use the opportunity which tho present
campaign offers to condemn the abject
surrender of American rights to Mex
ico and to European mitlonr nnd to
support the man who has openly
pledged himself to maintain theso
rights.
The Democrntlo statement charges that
shortly after tho Incorporation of this planL
J. P O'Mahoney, of Indianapolis, Hnd Vic
lor Itlddcr, editor of the Stunts-Zeltung. ad.
dressed a meeting of members of the Ameri
can Independence ("onfercnoo In Chicago on
newspaper publicity and outlined tho becret
purpose of the conference to support
Hughes for President and light for tho elec
tion of certain Congressmen.
JlOLti DENIAL AND CHALLKNUH
At Hepubllcan headquarters n telegram
was received from Frank Hlcberllih, who
was present at the session between Hughes
nnd representatives of the conference, deny
ing thnt tho Hepuhl.can candidate made any
promises. The telegram follows:
Tho statement made by Mr. Hughes
relative to the conference with the com
mltteo of the American Independence
Conference Is absolutely true Mr.
Hughes saw tho committee, of, which I
was n member; made no promises; did
not criticize Roosevelt, and made state
ment to the committee that he stood
for all American rights.
After giving out this tetegram Wlllcov
eald:
"If the Democrats have any kind of agiec
ment why don't tLoy present It? They have
my Consent to find nny kind of agreement.
This Ih tho cheapest kind of advertising for
a lost cause. There was nothing secret
about the conference Mr Hughes hud."
Wlllcox went on to say tl)at all manner
of citizens of citizens and groups of citizens
had seen Hughes, but that he had made no
promises In nny "shape, manner or form."
Speaking of the lack of secrecy, Wlllcox
took a fling at tho Democrats' by declaring
he didn't think tho "same could be said of
Mufleson aild others who have sought out
certain racial interests." .K a
''I don't think Mr. Hughes would 'have a
conference at midnight with a beer party,"
he declared. Tho chnlrmau said none of
Hughes conferences were r secret, nnd
added that In the various organizations
who jmd sent, committees to see him. tho
American rights committee was Included.
DUMOCRATS HIT PROPAGANDA
"When the tme comes that professional
propagandists can attempt to dictate the
election of a President In the interests of a
foreign country It Is time for Americans to
stand up and repudiate such attempts," Na
tional Chairman Vnnco McCormlck de
clared. He sald"Hhat regardless of politics
he considered It a duty to give publicity
to such attempts
Vice President Thomas R. Marshall, who
visited Democratic headquarters today, pre
dicted that any party or candidate trying
to hook up with propagandists will "get tho
worst of It."
"Church nnd racial questions were in
jected Into the Indiana campaign by the Re
publicans, but they found It wouldn't work,"
he said. "Tho great body of voters are
true In their ullegrance to America."
The dominant issues of the campaign.
Marshall said, are peace, prosperity and the
question of 'continuing- the foreign policy
which has meant peaic, or substituting for
It a "chip on the shoulder" policy.
-HUOIIES HAKES SWEEPING
DENIAL OF ".HYPHEN DEAL"

CLASH WITH RADICALS
A resolution condemning Samuel Oom
pers. president of the Amerlcnn Federation
of Lnlior, for Indorsing President Wilson,
vvns Introduced today before the thirteenth
biennial convention of the International
ladles' (lorment Workers' Union, In Scot
tish Itlte Hall, two hours before Oompers
was scheduled to address tho delegates
Tho resolution was referred b-ck to the
resolutions committee
Incitement vvns caused by the Introduc
tion of tho resolution, which arraigned
Oompers nnd other officers of the federation
for attempting to drag tho organization Into
politico. The resolutions commltteo drew
up tho document unawnre of the fact that
on Saturday Oompers had called upon tho
federation to support Wilson.
After nearly an hour's debate, In which
radicals proposed withdrawing from the
federation and forming a labor party, tho
resolution was referred back In tho com
mittee. Tin: nnsoLUTioN
The resolution. No. 23 which called upon
the convention to "cmphatlrilly dlsipprove
of tho policies nnd conduct of the federation
otllccrs." wild In part'
"The past policies of tho executive coun
cil of the Amer"can Federation of Labor
In mnny Instances have been timid, con
servative. Inefficient nnd Incons stent. The
chief executive officers have committed tho
largest nnd most powerful body of or
ganized labor In this country to nn undlg
nlfled policy of lobbjlng nnd beggltiB nnd
havo attempted to make the federation nn
nnncx to one of the old political pnrtles.
mnnnged principally In the Interests of the
employing ilass."
Ilccnuse of the failure of the oniccrs of
the federation to work more aggressively
and progressively, tho resolution said, the
"smpathy" strikes planned for the str'klng
New York carmen were fnllures
TURMOIL STARTHD
Tho effect of tho resolution, which dealt
pointedly with what was only n threaten
ing policy of the federation president when
tho document was written, was to create
a turmoil in the convention. Some of the
delegates urged that the resolution be
rushed through as it was; others demanded
that It be made stronger nnd that a direct
rebuko bo presented to Oompers for his
Indorsement of Wilson
Benjamin Schlcslngrr, president o( ho
union, calmed the delegates.
"I regard this resolution ns a humorous
article' he said. "Mind you. I am not try
ing to Justify tho pol clcs of tho American
Federation of lihor and much less tho of
ficers; but It was not tho fault of tho of
ficers that lobbying was done. Thafls the
result of resolutions empowering It."
The resolution then was referred to the
committee, which was not given Instruc
tions as to how to amend it.
Oompers Is scheduled to address the con
vention this afternoon.

omclals, who nro following tho general

Tho suggestions that a general policy of

Impossible. While most of tho departments
directly concorned have made a genera!
study of the methods to bo followed If such
a policy definitely is decided on, their con
