called the meeting to order at 10
A. M. General Secretary-Treasurer,
/ Thomas L. Hughes, called the roll of
members and all were present with
the exception of Vice-President Gou
die, of' Chicago, who was unable to
be present due to the disturbed con
ditions there and to court proceed
ings in which he has been named in
an alleged conspiracy in the milk
industry.
The general president proceeded
to transact the regular business of
the organization. One of the most
important matters to come before the
board was the question of the Brewr
ery Workers.
President Tobin asked for the opin
ion of the board as to whether or
not he should ask the executive coun
cil of the American Federation of
Labor to unseat the Brewery Work
ers’ local unions in Central Bodies
until such time as they complied with
th ■ decision of the*federation regard
ing the jurisdiction over brewery
drivers. After a lengthy discussion
it was decided by the board to author

the executive council and request

chartered, into court; and in view
of the fact that the statements made
by our people in central bodies, have
been used in the courts against us,
we feel we are not free to express
ourselves in central bodies where the
Brewery Workers are also seated;
and because of the foregoing the ex
ecutive council be requested to issue
an order instructing all central
Bodies to unseat the delegates from
Brewery Workers’ local unions in
any district in which the laws and
decisions of the Federation regarding
the jurisdiction of the International
Brotherhood of Teamsters are dis
regarded, and that said local unions
shall remain unseated until the de
cisions have been put into effect.
The general president then asked
the general executive board their
opinion as to what should be done in
the next convention of the American
Federation of Labor in regard to seek
ing the suspension of the charter of
the Brewery Workers’ International
Union. After a thorough discus
sion of the matter it was suggested by
Vice President McLaughlin that the
general officers use their own dis
cretion as to how to proceed, depend
ing largely upon developments be
tween now and the time of the con
vention.
