he has received. His plans to form q
great national labor organization are fully
matured, and he believes il Will be strong

syVania lines. His assertion that strikes
are out Of date should rcassure those
who are afraid of another contest Of cap

moon and the stars as a sort of heavenly
joke. Hence the prevalence OF the comic
element throughout the cosmos.
