LOCAL LABOR MEN STRONG FOR
JOHN H. WALKER
The election of John H. Walker
as president of the Illinois Federa
tion has met with the heartiest en
dorsement of Chicago labor men.
While there is still a certain
amount of grumbling from members
of the so-called "old guard," the rank
and file of the labor movement be
lieve that a real progressive era is at
hand.
One rumor started by one of the
old gang was to the effect that the
malcontents would start a new state
body headed by Edwin R. Wright,
former president of the I. F. of L., and
Simon O'Donnell, the discredited
president of the Building Trades
Council. This idea has caused much
amusement in labor circles.
Edwin R. Wright, himself, has al
ready put the kibosh on this. In a(
very gracious speech he said he'
would support the new president and
work for the good of the Illinois Fed
eration. One good effect of Walker's elec
tion as. forecasted by local leaders
will be in the way the members of
the federation vote in the future.
It is believed that they will tear down
political party lines and vote" for the
candidates and the issues that labor
need. This change will affect indus
trial and political interests through
out the state.
Several organizations, barred by
the old ring, are expected to be ad
mitted to membership.
