" Wrangling Over Rival Jitney Ordl nanre Has Contributed to Dis ruptionScrap Continue With Growing Fury. Between wrangling over rival Jitney ordinances and widespread dlsaatlsfac tion resulting from the Indorsement of various political candidates, organised labor appears almost hopelessly dis rupted. Dissension anions; the dlf ferent factions baa become ao acute that It la conceded by many union men themselves that the Indorsement of organised labor this year la of more doubtful value than ever. No one thins; haa coma before the union men In months that haa caused as much friction aa haa the considera tion of the two Jitney ordinances that will be voted on at tne special elec tlop May IT. Tba streetcar men have insisted that organized labor should Indorse the ordinance for regulation of Jitneys In the circulation of which they assisted. An opposing element In the Central Labor Council has so far successfully prevented the desired In dorsement of this measure. Jt la this faction that favora the other proposed ordinance, drafted by the anti-C-cent-fare, people. This ordinance proposes restoring the Jitneys with only a min imum of regulation. Faettoaa Meet Taalaht. The streetcar men take the position that the labor organisations should un hesitatingly get behind their measure In view of the fact that It Is the only recognition they have asked. On the other hand, the frlenda of the other' measure want to leave the question of approving either of these two or dinaacea open and allow union men to vote aa they pleaaa without tha sue aeetlon of a formal Indorsement. Thesa two factions will have another Inning tonight at tha regular meeting of the Central Labor Council, when the streetcar men hope to force the matter to a vote. The atreetcar men are firmly resolved not to take "no" (or an answer. Much discord also haa reaulted from certain Indorsements of candidates re cently announced by tha legislative committee of the labor unions. In con nection with a divided opinion with reference to the Jitney ordinances that breach waa only widened when the committee gave Its Indorsement to 'rank J. Miller. Republican candidate fer Public service Commissioner. This Indorsement waa especially displeasing to tha antl-t-cent-fara crowd, known aa tha McGinn faction, which haa reg istered a strong protest against the action and does not hesitate to aay It will not bo bound by tba work of the committee. - JImr ladereeaaeat Opposed. r - i d x i m ev 7 III V-V "VJL erland. who I I O of this city day at the II ; ill r Mrs. Mathew D.
