Ignore Injunction
Proceedings.

Atlantic City, N. j.. June 1e.-The
American Federation OF Labor in con-
vention here this afternoon unani-
mously adopted a resolution, ap-

against strikers.
The Federation went on record as

princess went to Brussels in a cart.
disguised as a peasant woman. She
visited Edith Cavell. 1t was arranged
that peasants should lead the fugi-
tives to the princes chateau at Mons.
Sand thrown on a window was a sig
nal OF their arrival. Miss Cavell would
receive the fugitives in BRUSSELS, one
OF three forwarding stations on the
road to Holland.
The Englishwoman readily agreed.
She had. she said. already been shell
tering English fugitives of her own
accord. Miss Cavell was to keep the
men In Brussels till they could safely
be got away to the frontiers.
On being reminded that the Ger
mans had threatened to shoot anyone
caught harboring allied soldiers, Miss
Cavell replied: I'VE must take the
risk. We are doing no harm: only
helping our own people. A German
woman would do the same"
After more detail the narrative con-
tinues: after the system had been
working some time the Germans got
much stricter. and only parties of
two or three could be got through
to Brussels anil these had to have
false identification papers prepared.
The princess took the mems photo
graphs while the prince forged the
signatures and stamps.
Miss Cavell used herself to take
the men to the rendezvous. She
warded Off suspicion by sending her
fugitives out into the crowded streets
