Of the American Federation Of Labor,
is due to what he alleges is the arbi :
trary conduct of union affairs by the
national organization. A rigid sys.
tenn of fines and regulations, which
make it extremely hazardous for the
orchestra or brass baud of one city to
play in another are among the griev-
ances which are charged aga INST the
federation, and which the new or
ganization is designed to correct.
