Labor Federation Bans Gilhams and Hilgemann in Fort Wayne
The Fort Wayne Federation of Labor adopted resolutions declaring Republican candidates Lawrence C. Gilhams and Henry F. Hilgemann unfriendly to organized labor. Gilhams was criticized for silence on the federation’s questions, while Hilgemann’s past dealings with carpenters and electricians were cited as inconsistent with his answers. A gas-committee was formed with Commercial club members to address the artificial gas issue, and city officials spoke on municipal lighting plans at the meeting.
