Union Delegation Split as Carpenters Back Hearst Papers
The Central Federated Union faced a defection when Union No. 608 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners withdrew its delegate over resolutions endorsing the Hearst newspapers. The action followed a June 26 local vote and a later committee review, with critics arguing no single paper should receive such endorsement.
