and he was assigned to a cell. An

the GER Juring Of switchmen for what
they term an illegal act" adds another
twist to the situation. That the switch
men realize the seriousness or this in

that George B. Hawley, president OF the
Minnesota Federation Of Labor, left hur-
-iedly for Duluth last night to take
charge Of the switchmens interests.
The Duluth setback Is partially cOun-
teracted, however. by the entry OF the
American Federation Of Labor into the

rison has wired from Washington guar
anteeing financial support.
