Spurious Delegates Disrupt Cook County Labor Convention
In Cycago Illinois on September 26 the Cook County United Labor convention faced a stormy session with 741 delegates. An attempt to infiltrate outsiders with admission cards yielded 200 spurious delegates pushing their own votes, leading to adjournment until the temporary chairman can reconvene. The twenty-one member committee later claimed power to bar delegates deemed antagonistic to a full independent ticket or to a new party. Several unions, including a Knights of Labor assembly, were debarred as others were reduced by about two-thirds, leaving the remaining delegates contested by those calling the convention under socialist and radical Knights of Labor influence.
