will act in accordance with our con-
science and not with any fear of the
attorney general. 49,.
The council of the federation is to
meet here tomorrow and VIII PROB
ably last week.
Gompers said that the demand OF
labor for q sympathetic strike Is De-
coming more insistent.
Several unions have adopted reso-

hundreds of others are on record,
favoring nationwide walkout, ac-
cording to Gompers.
The council of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor is not vested with
the power to call a general strike, but
