Distinguished Leaders of Labor Ex-
 press Sympathy with the Mckinley
 National Memorial Movement.
 Organized labor is showing great in- terest in the work of the Mckinley Ma tional Memorial Association which has charge of the national fund to erect q memorial tomb over the late Presidents grave at Canton, Ohio.
 Not only is it contributing gensr- ously, but number of its leading men, who are honorary members of the Asso- citation, are setting aside their personal and official affairs for time to engage actively in the movement. The work is labor of love with them, for President Mckinley was true and practical friend of labor: in fact he was himself a member of a labor organization. P. M. Arthur, Chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers, in accepting honorary membership, spoke of Presi- dent Mckinley as ''a man whom to know was to love, whose whole life was an open book" and Frank P. Sargent, Grand Master of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fireman, declared that the late President was ''the best friend ever had"
 Mir John Mitchell. President of the United Mine Workers of America, said "I beg to assure you that will do all in my power to be of service in mak !ng the work of the Association a success, '' and Samuel Gompers, President of the American Federation of Labor. the lar0. est and most powerful trade organiza tion in the world was elected to honor ary membership.
