blocked the government. He alone. they
say, refused 20 sign the agreement en-
tered into between labor and the gov

say, is responsible today for the unrest

One man, who today holds high post
in the confidence, both Of labor and the
government and is probably more
closely in touch with the labor situa-
tion than anyone else declares 10 the
United Press that with the exception
Of a portion Of the carpenters. labor as
a whole is not in sympathy with the
present disturbance.
Labor leaders, he said. believe this
a crucial time. They feel that the ac-
tion Of Hutcheson is dangerous in that
1t may well cause the people Of the
country 10 become skeptical over
labor's honest intentions TO stand pa
triotically by the government IN this
war. They fear that unrest now n fol-
lowed by a crisis In our affairs, would
lose for labor as a whole. the possibil-
ity Of helpful cooperation by the ma
