GRAFTON Of Labor is absolutely powerless

doubt very much II Mr.. Gompers would
be able to call out 5000 men. The
strength OF that organization here lies
In the Garment Workers. Of whom 30
Der cent. have been out Of work for over
nine months. There would be little fun
In calling them out on strike. They
have got the cigar-makers and one or
two locals OF the bakers. That about
winds them up.
II see the American Federation men
claim to control the street railway men.
Now, 1 want to denounce that as false.
They have nothing whatever to say to
the street railroad men Of this city, nor
have they got a single steam railroad In
their Federation.
II have said that in my opinion the
strike will never reach this city. Why?
Because II will fall to pieces long before
reaching this place. 1t Is fast crumbling
now. and I can see nothing In II but
hopeless defeat. The only thing that can
