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. This was done, the accounts were
found to be correct, and Leabo was com
pletely exonerated by tha executive
committee and ' officers - of - the federa
tion. 1
