Eclipse Factions Clash Over AFL Leadership Fight
A high stakes confrontation at the American Federation of Labor convention centers on President Gompers and President Shaffer of the Amalgamated Association. Shaffer accuses Gompers Mitchell and Sargent of bad faith amid a renewed probe into last year’s U S Steel strike defeat. The convention forks toward a five member panel to investigate, with Gompers and Shaffer naming two each. The effort stalls as the body delays appointing a fifth member, planning to resume the inquiry tomorrow.
