ATLANTIC CITY, Sept. g. Matthew
Vol, vice-president of the American
Federation Of Labor, who is here for
the meeting of the executive council
bassador tomorrow, gave out u state
ment tonight attacking President
Harding, Attorney General Daugherty
and Judge Wilkerson as "the makers
Of radicals" He linked them with
"Wall Street manipulatorsn in falling
TO respect the rights Of the people
and predicted that wave of pro-
gressiveness Is coming which will
brush aside every element OF reac-
tion and every bulwark OF Bourbon
ism
con the eve of the meeting Of the
executive council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor there is dawning upon
the American people the consciousness
that their rights as free men, as citi-
zens of great republic, have been
fiagrantly violated and that the consti-
tutional guarantees have been thrown
to the winds like mere scraps of paper
by men holding honored and trusted
positions of government Mr.. We'll de-
clared.
Flags Daugherty
"That we should have an Attorney
General person incapable of under
standing the love Of the American peo-
pie for fair play and their profound
devotion to the American concepts Of
liberty and democracy, is bad enough.
To find that two men in America, one
judge and the other politician and
lawyer, should feel themselves powerful
enough and, what is more, capable of
throwing aside the Constitution and to
threaten people with dire punishment
who would protest against such despotic
acts is the most tragic event that has
hesmirched the glory of our great
democracy.
"It is reported that the present gov
eminent now realizes that it has gone
too far and that it intends to retrieve
itself by seeking to modify the terms
of the temporary injunction. Attor
ney General Daugherty will request
such modification of the injunction he
and Judge Wilkerson Haunted in the
face of the American people. Such a
request will be nothing more or less
than direct admission that both have
violated the sacred and inalienable
rights of free people and have placed
themselves outside of the Constitution

aWhy continue in office those who
arc sworn to uphold and support the
Constitution, and who have proved un-
true to that trust" to
Mr.. Woll declared that both Mr.
Daugherty and Judge Wilkerson have
failed to safeguard the peoples rights
in their eagerness to serve vested in
terests" and to protect the so-called
open shop. He said that government
by injunction is government by tyrants
and despots, that it is un-AmeFican,
wipes out the bill of rights, destroys
the presumption OF innocence, destroys
all rules of evidence and turns free
dom into license.
"We denounce the Soviet regime in
Russia because it does not respect the
rights of the people," he continued
"when here in America our regime in
Washington has committed the same
error"
Indorses La Toilette
TIE STOuilu WUEh VI ~ UcUW LUZ
Senator La Toilette, of Wisconsin, for
the Presidency in 1924 may be laid
by the heads of organized labor at
their conference. Supporting La
Toilette boom, union leaders said,
would not conflict with the Feder-
atoms policies as outlined in its non
partisan political campaign, but, on
the contrary, would be interviewer as
its leading feature. This may be inter
preted as meaning that the labor
chiefs may concentrate their efforts on
boosting La Toilette for the Republi-
can nomination. as they are tradi-
tionally opposed to entering politics
as unit of their own.
Samuel Gompers, president Of the
Federation, said that discussion Of the
Senator's possible candidacy is pre-
mature. He added that he considered
La Toilette great American. Mr..
Vol, when questioned, Endorsed the
Wisconsinite as the most formidable
candidate that any party could put up.
He would sweep the country" Mr..
WoH asserted
Concurrently with the executive
councils session. 500 delegates, repre-
senting the 10000 members Of the In
ternational Typographical Union, will
meet, beginning Monday, in annual
convention. The most prominent feat
ure will be finish fight between the
so-called radical and conservative
groups within the union, the former
headed by John MCFARLAND, who was
reelected as president last May, and
the latter led by John III. Hayes, sec
