erations in West Virginia, Utah, Mou-
tana. Oklahoma. Washington, New
Jersey and Nebraska were harboring
acceding factions of the electrical
workers and wanted to know if their
charters would be revoked. President
Gompei's replied that when formal
complaint or official knowledge of
such condition was received the of-
fending orghnlzailons would be ad-
vised that thelr course must be
changed. lie dccllucd to stain what
action would be tunic In tho cxccu-
tlvn council, declaring that it might be
construed as a threat.
It was the purpose or the Fedora-
tion. he said. to be impartial and Just.
