In the circular sent to the local unions,
announcing his resignation, he states
that he deems it his duty as a trades
unionist to devote his services in the fu-
ture to fighting the menace of socialism
in the labor movement" adding: "The
fight made against our brotherhood by
the socialist movement and the social
lists, individually and as a party, was
bitter and malicious attack on the trade
union movement of our country. with the
purpose in view of destroying the trade
unions in their advancement of the cause
of the workers. We were successful in
defeating the socialists in. the labor
movement and now in the decision of the
courts of our country, which backed up
the action of the American Federation of
Labor. Our victory was complete. Our
vindication by the labor movement and
the courts indicate splendid future for
our brotherhood"
