PRESIDENT POPULAR
Organized Labor Calls Him
it's Best Friend.
NOT A NTAGONIS TIC
GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE
TROUBLE NOT AGAINST HIM.
Leaders Who Urge Warfare Will Be
Repudiated by the Knights-Method
of Settlement Suggested.

PITTSBURG, Pa, September 24.-Simons
Burns, general master workman of the
knights of Labor returned from Washing
ton, D. c., today, where he had been at
tending a meeting of the general executive
board. He reports the adoption by the gen.
eral executive board of the following reso-
lutions:
Whereas, the newspapers report that
certain labor organizations and their lead
ers are attempting to have organized labor
take up the fight of the enemies of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, because of his action in the
dispute existing in the government printing
office in Washington, and believing the
President is one of the best friends organ
lied labor ever had in the White House.
and that the present move Is political
one in the interest of prominent republicans
who control some few leaders with desire
to attempt to defeat the nomination of
President Roosevelt,
Important Resolution.
Therefore, be it resolved by the general
executive board of the order of the Knights
of Labor Incorporated:
THAT the action taken at this time
against President Roosevelt is not in the
interest of organized labor, but a political
move that, If carried out, will disrupt or
lower organizations and tnjure the men,
bers, and if the leaders attempt any such
action the majority of the members of all
organizatio without regard to their po-
itfcal opinions, should refuse to recognize
and repudiate such leaders and their action
BE 1T further resolved That such action
as Is contemplated against President Roose-
welt is ole of the many errors and mistakes
made by organized labor, as they seem in
cliEed to ignore the rights of others, create
strikes and make demands that are unrea-
sonabe. relying not the justice of their
contention or claims, but the amount of
loss or trouble they can cause others and to
see what they secure by depending on
politicians and not on the justice of their
demands.
Hanna to Be Referee.
And be it further resolved That as SEN
ator Hanna of Ohio is said to be a great
friend of organized labor and that he is
also considered loyal supporter and sim
cere friend of President Roosevelt we
therefore suggest to both sides to the pres
ent controversy existing in the printing Of
nee that they refer the dispute to Senator
Hanna for decision"

This was the mode of procedure accord

Nilsson and Herbst would go to city

cure credit.
They would operate under the name of
some one well known to the business world.
