not be long before he Is discovered.
Those of us who know him from

dodge issues which may compromise
I him with the powerful in and out OF

making general declarations and
promises, but will not make a spe-
cific promise that he will help a
small union when II Is in competition
with one. OF the larger units OF the
American Federation of Labor, be-
cause OF his disposition to save him
self and not unprop his own for
