Claims Victory.
The following statement was issued
by James Tracey, secretary OF the
allied trades conference board:
THE strike was one Of the most
remarkable that has ever occurred I'M
the United States. It was remarkable
for the absence Of disorder although
fifty thousand men and women we're
involved. It proves the labor organi.
