Toronto, Nov. 1S.-Endorsing a report

American Federation of Labor. and
one Of the officers of that organization
sentenced to prison for contempt of

was concerned, regardless of conse-

things says:

say that when the employer has de-
termined to exploit not only adult male
labor, but our women and children

fairness and his conscience will not
sway him, boycott; we; We say that

ercise that right. In the application of
this right to boycott. to paraphrase the

for Mitchell as he concluded and there
were cries for Morrison The Sec
rotary did not respond. President Com

claration. not to tickle the ear of any
man, but that 1 may publicly declare
the conviction that is within me.
Lesson to Worlingmen.
1T seems to me that the whole pro-
ceedings should prove a lasting lesson
to the workingmen of the United States
and Canada. If all the workingmen had
been true to themselves there would
not have been a nonunion product on
the market. 1 re2eat that so far as
1 am concerned and let the conse-
