Washington union labor men have
no sympathy with the action OF the
Chicago labor unions In declaring that
II the United States takes action
against Russia in It's controversy with
Poland they will take a strike vote.
Several union leaders in Washing
ton said that the action was unpa-
triotic and unAmerican. and that the
rank and nle OF union men In Wash
ington and this section of the coun-
try would follow the country in any
action they took in European snalrs.
=. W. Reynolds. vice president oil
the Central Labor Union and chair
man OF the executive committee, said
today that a great many union labor
men In Chicago were OF Socialistic
tendency, which accounted for their
stand in the olish-Bolsheviki night
In many OF the large cities OF the
United States, Mr.. Reynolds said
there naturally is a big foreign labor
| element. but in cities like Washington
the majority of the union men are ma

the country in any move they would

her slightly over S76 a month. Al
though she was II years old on July

work consists in punching holes IN
mail bags and she declares she turns

as any of the other employees do.
Mrs. Magalis does not come within
