For the convention itself was a measure of how deep and bitter Labor's division had become. Last month, when William Green ordered the Pennsylvania Federation of Labor to purge itself of disloyal C. I. O. unions, abetted by its president, John A. Phillips, the Federation instead constituted itself the 18th State Industrial Union Council organized by C. I. O. At its convention last week, attended by more than 1,000 delegates representing some 500,000 organized workers mainly...
