A G o b e representative waited upon
Mr.. Louis Nash yesterday and asked him
what there was TO the rumor that was
going the rounds to the effect that he
favored the reported compromise on the
ONeill anti-boycott bill, entered into be-
tween the trades unionists of Duluth and
the gentlemen representing the business
interests of that city, at the conference
with the senators, held at the Merchants
hotel last Monday night. In reply Mr..
Nash stated that he protested against
every proposition that was made in the
way of a compromise, but upon being
assured that said compromises were en-
tlrely satisfactory to the trades union
lists of Duluth, he relinquished his OBJ
1ectons thereto as he did not consider he
was representing any one at the confer
ence but himself, hence did not feel JUS
titled in attempting to voice the senti-
ments of the trades unionists of the
Twin Cities, but" said Mr.. Nash, 81
did inform the committee that thought
the proposed compromise would meet
with the determined opposition Of the
industrial forces of the Twin Cities, and
In conversation after the meeting with
