"I " - ' -,.,''4 4444444444444 From all accounts, chiefly stories told by returning delegates, E. E. Raddlng, who was refused a seat In the conven tion of the State Federation of Labor, held at Astoria In the early part of the week, was a potent factor In the delib erations of . that body; and succeeded through the efforts of his friends, who' were delegates to. the convention, in casting Confusion Into the ranks of his opponents, and in ultimately bringing about their defeat for reelection aa of ficers ot -the State federation, v As forecasted in The Journal, several reoresenUitlvea of Portland labor or ganisations protested against Raddlng being allowed a seat in the convention. although He was tne . regularly elected delegate of the local painter's union. It waa charged that he Is not a friend of organised labor and that he had ben a disturbing factor ever since he bo came a member of the painter's union. The upshot was that Raddlng was de nied a seat In the convention. He im mediately filed a mandamus suit against the officers of the convention, requiring them to show cause wny ne should not be seated as a delegate, and then set about to - make It uncomfortable for those who had been instrumental in his undoing. He was particularly hostile to 1. m. Leaoo, rormer secretary or tne State federation, and Paulineus McDoiv aid, editor of the Portland Labor Press. The committee on "Officers reports Was largely madej; up of Radding"s friends. - and i when Leabo's report as secretary was submitted to the conven tlon durinr the first ' day's session, it was immediately referred to this com mittee, with instructions to examine ins report and report hack to the conven tion. The committee ; held the report until Just berore - nnai adjournment, Thursday -afternoon, when a report was suDmitted to tne mam Doay. scnarao teriaing the secretary's financial report as being in a deplorable condition. Lea- bo and McDonald demanded v to Kno wherein the report was defective", but the committee's report as a whole was adopted and the- retiring secretary giv en no opportunity xo explain tne alleged shortcomings in nis nnanciai report. The result was that Leabo refused to allow his name to come up for regular election as secretary, wntie Raddlng and nis mends gloated over their success :n frightening Leabo out of the raoe. Rad dlng would also have been delighted to get the official scalp of President Gram, of the State federation, buti that "of ficer was too popular and was elected to succeed -himself. - "'"Vo " , Befora turning - over to ' the - newly elected executive committee the cash on -hand, Retiring Secretary Leabo, re quired the committee to examine his books.
