AN ILLEGAL BODY, SAYS FEDERATION —— Executive Council Upholds Ap- peal of Painters; Finds Char- ter Was Unlawfully Issued. The Priing Trades Council, or- ganized by Robert P. now serving a term in Sing Sing for ex- tortion, was illegally chartored, ac- cording to a decision of the Executive | Rrindeil, Council of the American Federation of Labor, made public to-day, The| decision is a victory for the Brother- hoot of Puinters and Decorutors, | | which for three years has been fight- Ing the control of the local building trades by Brindell and his personal coterie. Also it presages a bitter bat- tle at the Denver convention of the! American Federation, when powerful influences will try to upset the de- cision of the Executive Council. Since the Brindell scandal was aired in January by the revelations before the Lockwood committee of the way | in which independent contractors had been crushed between the Brindell and the employers’ combination, and the later conviction of Brindell and Btadtmuller for extortion, the Build- ing Trades Council has been working under a handicap. New offices were chosen after Brindel!'s conviction, but the charge has been made that there has been no change in policy, and, in fact, that Brindell still rules. The Central Trades and Labor Council, at the suggestion of the painters, wanted to investigate as to whether the Building Trades Council had reformed, But President John Donlin of the Building Trades De- partment of the A. F. of L. declared the local body had no power of in- vestigation. In a letter upholding Mr. Donlin, printed on Sunday, Bam- wel Gompers stated that the proper course of the painters was in an ap- peal to the A. F. of L.; that such an fappeal had been taken and decided, Dut he gave not hint as to the de- eision. *This, however, is made public to- @ay by Philip Zausner, Secretary of Painters’ District Counct!

When Brindell secured his charter for the Building Trades Council and organired it In October, 1919, he acted through the “board of business agents” without any motion by the unions affiliated with the building trades. ‘Then he insured absolute control by himself and his friends by providing that none but the bueiness agents of @ union could represent it in the counctl; that a delegate must be eleoted for three years, and that his salary should be not less than $76 a week. The painters declared the charter- ing of the council without motion of the unions jilegal; that a union had the right to elect any member to rep- resent it; that a provision other than @ one-year term was Mlleg/ and that the union, not the counds, must fix the pay of its delegate. On all these points it is now upheld by the A. F. of L. Executive Council, ———— ASKS ANDERSON TO CARRY BANNER Anti-Saloon League Superintendent Invited to Participate in Anti- Prohibition Parade July 4. Frank C. Drake, Director General of the Anti-Prohibition Parade, has invited William H. Anderson, Super- intendent of the Anti-Saloon League, to carry his own banner in the pa- rade on July 4, Mr. Anderson wrote to Mr. Drake offering $26 as a con- tribution, or as much of it as would be necessury to get ® man to carry a banner inscribed “Our Bottle Cry— Appetite and Anarchy!” Mr. Drake to-day said he had re- ceived many anonymous letters from persons objecting to the parade on the ground that they were against thc saloon, Mr. Drake said: “It ia vital to our cause that the public understand our position. The Anti-Prohibition Parade Movement does not contemplate a restoration of public resorts whose primary rea- son for being is the sale of intoxi- cants. In fact, it is intensely hostile to such resorts.” The second floor of No. 618 Willis Avenue is headquarters for the pa- rade movement in the Bronx. An- other organization formed to fight for the re of the Eighteenth Amendment is the 1776 Society, which has heen incorporated, No one is re- quired to join the society to get into of Copper Wire.

Withers was shot through the head. An inquest was to be held to-day, Withers had been commanded to haly and was bringing his car to a stop when he was killed, according to his son. Robert §. Gast, Chairman of the City Relief Committee, gave the fol- lowing summary of present condi- tions: The gas plant is entirely out of commission. No Ice factories are in operation. The two water systems are only partially functioning. ‘The lighting system is out of opera- tion, with the exception of a few street lights. A broken levee lets the water into the city whenever there is any rise. The extent of the flooded district in this city can best be understood from the statement that the water swept area comprises 350 city blocks, the surfaces of which are deep in mud and slime. Many believe the total number of persons killed will never be accu- rately known, as It is almost certain that the swiftness of the current has carried bodies downstream and buried them in the sand banks along the river. DENVER, June 7.—Danger of floods from the Platte River here had passed early to-day when the water began to recede slowly. Although some railway tracks and property near the river were inundated, no great damage was done. pa han aa NEW YORK TO SEND AID TO COLORADO.

Brooklyn Man to Collect From Woman He Says Told Him “Your Loss, My Gain.” Samuel Goldfarb of No. 554 Hendrix Street, Brooklyn, by mistake pald taxes of $56 last April on the house of Mrs. Frank Greenberg, formerly of No. 666 Hendrix Street. When Goldfarb discovered the error he asked Mra. Greenberg to return his money, but he alleged that she re- plied: “Your loss is my gain, and de- clined to give it back, Goldfarb obtained a judgment against Mra, Greenberg in Munictpal Court, and the case came into the Kingy County Court to-day on supplementary proceedings. Mrs. Greenberg said ahe hed sold the house and had assigned @ mortgage of $3,000 on it to her brother-in-law. Counsel for Goldfarb, however, said it had been escertained that the mortgage, had not actually been assigned and Mra. Greenberg still received payments on it. Judge MacMahon directed that the next payment on the mortgage be turned over to Goldfarh and subse- quent payments until he had received @ total of $116—$55 for the tax and $59, his cost in bringing the action. —»————.
