July 14. (Special.) The stand of President William Short of the Washington State Federation of Labor against the I. W. W., George V'anderveer and the legal bureau of the Seattle Central Labor Council was sustained here to night by an overwhelming majority, in the state labor convention. As a climax to the deliberations of the convention, a communication was received from the Seattle Central Labor Council asking that George Vanderveer as head of the legal bureau 'be allowed to appear on the floor of the convention and refute the charges made against the bureau by President Short. The latter re affirmed his stand against.the bureau and predicted that in the near future X)p bureau would be repudiated by the Seattle council. A motion ' to Ignore the request of the Seattle council was put before the conven tion and passed with only one dis senting vote. Bremerton Gets Convention. Bremerton was tonight chosen as the 1322 convention city. Phil Pearl of Seattle was called upon to prove his charges that certain business houses which had men prominent in the labor movement on their boards of directors were using these men's names to defraud the members of labor organizations who bought stock in the enterprises. Pearl named the United Finance company of Seattle and in a two-hour speech deplored the entrance of union men- into busi ness enterprises. -He said that while they might be perfectly honest, after they entered the business world they would cease to act as workingmen. Pearl alluded frequently to a state ment made yesterday that the con vention would make him answer def initely so that he could be put in Jail. "I'm perfectly -willing to go to jail if the conventian does not believe me." Tearl said. "Nobody wants to lock Phil up In jail," President Short replied. "If ever he Is locked up it will be In an entirely different institution." Penrl'm Charges Answered. At the end of Pearl's address Presi dent Short, taking the floor, replied to Pearl's charges himself. He said that Pearl's statements were nothing more nor less than a play on words and that "he was carrying on a cam paign of lying charges." In the course of his address he rapped the socialists, of which organ ization Pearl said he was a member. Mr. Short was followed by William Swenson, a member of the Union Record organization, who said that "such snakes as George F. Vander veer and Phil Pearl were seeking the overthrow of trade-unionism." He was applauded by the assembled dele gates. Then followed a motion to have the convention go on record as hav ing nothing whatever to do with the charges advanced by Pearl and it was adopted by a big majority. The management of the Seattle Union-Record, the spokesman of Seattle labor, was exonerated by the convention, following a vigorous at tack on the management and on E. B. Ault, the editor, by Tearl. Charges Held Groundless. A committe ' appointed to investi gate the charges against the manage ment of the paper reported that the charges were groundless and recom mended that stock in the paper be sold to labor organizations through out the state instead of vesting the control with the Seattle Labor coun cil, which now owns 51 per, cent of the stock. Pearl, representing an investigat ing committee of the Seattle council which had brought charges against Kdiitor Ault and the management, immediately rose in defense of his committee's findings, which he said had been accepted by the Seattle council. He charged Ault with in vesting his money which he received in salary from the Union Record in capitalistic enterprises to make him self wealthy and with using the Union Record to further his own in terests. It was also charged that the paper had too many employes and that these employes did not take their work seriously. The manage ment was accused of being lax in col lections of bills. Kdltor Denies Charges. Editor Ault was present and he specifically denied each charge brought by Pearl. He declared the paper was be-ing attacked because it was not radical enough for some, and because there were four or five men who were attempting to wrest the power from the labor loaders, and were using the Union Record as a basis for their attack. A protest from the culinary crafts .gainst the use of the St. Elmo hotel, which was declared to be unfair to union labor, as headquarters for the convention, was received and referred to the executive board. The convention closed tonight after choosing Bremerton as the 1922 con vention city. Anacortes also put in a bid for the convention, but was de feated by a vote of about ten to one.

Robertson, Spo kane, offered an amendment to the report of the rules and order commit tee asking change in representation for voting on national committeemen and national delegates.

Previous state and na tional conventions have indorsed un qualifiedly the national guard and such programme."
