l abor Delegate May Be Ousted for Misconduct Member of Butchers’ Local to Be Tried for Writing Article Flaying Leaders. A tense situation has been created a itliin the councils of the Central l abor union through the filing of charges against Thomas Mathews, delegate from butchers’ workmen lo cal union No. 602. ^President J. M. Gibb of the Cen tral Labor union announced that at the regular meeting of the organiza tion November 2. He will name a trial committee to hear the charges In the manner provided by the laws of the central body. Mr. Mathews is charged wjth con duct unbecoming a delegate 'to the union, the more specific information being that he contributed to the Mid west Labor News a signed letter in which he criticized the American Fed eration of Labor Portland convention. Got All VHet I p.” “They weren’t ail het up about the open shop drive,” was one of the statements which appeared in the Mathews letter and which has stirred up the breach between the standpat ters and the radicals of the Central Labor union. David Coutts, delegate to the cen tral union from the stonecutters un ion, is one of the delegates who fa vors Mr. Mathews' cauRe and also the "Foster program.” "The Issue in the C. L. U. is be tween those who see the need for adopting a more aggressive policy and progressive program as advocated by W. Z. Foster, and those representing the old ideas that have now become ineffective and obsolete. Seventeen state federations of labor, numerous central bodies and local unions, to gether with five international unions, have endorsed amalgamation'and the labor party, which are features of the Foster program. The number of sympathizers for this program is trowing steadily.” Charges Not Dehitnhle. .Under the rules of the Central La oor union, the charges against Mr. Mathews were not debatable at the regular meeting Friday night, when the accused was present. The charges against Mr. Mathews were signed by Tom Wilson, machin ist; O. M. Olsen, plumber; Gus I. Law son, electrician, and N. W. Stewart, painter. “We have no time for this red stuff down there,” Mr. Olsen said. "That is not part of our business.” Mr. Olsen was secretary to Ed P. Smith during the latter'a term as mayor.

Mont., a man named William F Dunne, who represented the central body or his city Dunne possesses « imputation *a a real labor flghtar. Here's how he earned It. Not *0 many years ago there wna a great strvke of the metal miners In Mon cana. The bosses were determined to break Up the organization of those min ers at all costs. Mob terrorism was thpir weapon and the Butte Dally Bulletin, of 'which Dunne was editor, was the chief object of their attack. Instead of run-i Ping away and giving up the ship. how-. nr:r’ ~unne aml hia brother union men •lid a t-e-r-r-r-b-l-u thing. They posted armed guards around the plant to pro tact. their Newspaper from the hired gangsters of the mine owners! In Butt*, Dunne faced n white-collar eel mob in the employ of the »nemle* of labor. Who would expect that at I*ort lancl, Ory., he should be fared by another wnite-collared mob, even more- bent up on hit* destruction. Vet that very thing hfopened, and the mob was the ennven Tton of the American Federation of La bor! T.ef us examine the cause for Dunne’s expulsion from the convention. The gen tlemen who live In the fine hot*)*, and worry about nothing *0 long as their salary checks are In no danger, were very angry at Dunne. The reason Is this Dunne is not afraid to ftght the open anoppers. He is not afraid to fell the truth about the agents of big business whp have planted themselves within the labor organizations of this country. He ; 1" oof afraid to tell Samuel Uompers tj hi* face that he la doing the work of' Wall Street when he fight* proposals, to build up and strengthen the organ-1 lzed labor movement in this country. 1 That i* ths crime of William F.

Soldiers Bad Lot: He Said It—Girl; Did Not—Jailer Custodian of County Bastile Declares Only Comment to Fair Caller Was Regard ing Her Youth. Because, she alleges, when ^he went to the county jail Snturday aft eroon to .see her sweetheart, R. l)ah Hn, member of Company I, Seven teenth Infantry, serving a sentence in connection with an automobile theft, Jailer Joe Sherry told her that soldiers were a 'bad lot,” Ixtulse Schlager, 1». 3820 Parker street, an nounced her intention of reporting the incident to the commanding of ficer at Fort Omaha. Miss Schlager took a photograph of herself to the Jail to show it to I»ah lin, whom, she declared, sha was planning to marry at the time he was arrested. Jailer Sherry refused to permit her to see the man. "You're too young to have a swe^t heart,” he told the girl, according to her story. "You ought to stay awtry from these soldiers. They're a bad lot.” Finally he consented to take a note from the girl to Dahlin, and to bring liuck an answer, but he declined to take the photograph. Following is the note: "Dear Dahlin: 1 Just came up to, see you, but it was the same old story. I am sending my picture by some kind man. Give him some kind of an answer. Itemember, dear, 1 am, as ever, faithful. Louise. - "P. S. 1 still feel the same as ever, do you?” The answer, scribbled on the back of the note, read: "Dear Louise- I still feel the same but have no time to write much now Please write me a letter.” Jailer She:ry denied that he said soldiers are a "bad lot.” "Nothing was said about soldiers," he declared "But the girl looked to be about 3 8 and I mentioned that to her. It Is sad to see the youth and Inexperience of some girls who come up here to see prisoners. "However, the reason 1 did not let this girl see the man was that It was meal tluse and also Saturday aft ernoon. We don’t allow visitors at that time." .
