IH iyOF It) ; j* IM k< l j I I MATTHEW WOLL <1 Chicago—The executive eoumil of ■tii<- American Federation of Labor Kias prepared to call a meeting within Kiix days to select a new president to Kucceed Samuel Gompers, who died ■Saturday. Dec. 13 in San Antonio, fljvx. The man selected will serve ■until the next annual convention, ■which will choose an executive. ■ Several candidates are mentioned flor the presidency: all of them have Keen ardent followers of the con.serv ■stive and constrrctive policies advo■rated by their late labor chief. « The one most prominently mention Bed is Matthew Woll of Chicago, in Wternational president of the Photo ■Engravers’ union. For several years, •■labor officials aver, Mr. Gompers was ■ grooming Woll to succeed him. The ■ photo engravers’ president is now ■ the sixth vice president of the feder- ■ ation and is classed as an ultra ■ conservative. 3 ' Mr. Woll’s handicap lies in the fact ■ that he represents a comparatively ■ small international union. Its voting ■power is minute in compar.son with ■ the unions of miners, carpenters, and ■ several other internatioinal organizaB tions.
