"My record in the Labor movement will bear the fullest investigation." Kirkwood need have no worry that he would not be In the head~ lines, the chairman declared, "You filthy our," another dele« gate shouted at the chalrmau, "Why do you say a thing lke that?" A formal protest against what he called the 'studied offensiveness' of the chairman was here entered by James Maxton, chairman of Las bor's left wing, the independent Labor party.
