Atlantic City, n. j., Sept. e.-De-
claring that the all-embracing tnjunc-

wave of public sentiment in favor of

the courts with a demand that the in
junction be vacated. Several secret
sessions attended by Mr.. Gompers.
three vice presidents of the fedora
ton and several presidents of inter-

What took place was not disclosed.
The labor leaders frankly stated, how
ever, that they were drawing up plans
for legally blocking the injunction to
be ratified when the full executive
council convenes Saturday.
Another closed session will be held
here tomorrow night or Friday to
vote whether to convene the official
conference here or to remove to Wash
