was unable to reconcile itself to recent
court decisions upholding injunctions
in labor disputes, and added that labor
could not abide by these decisions and
yet live and function.
"In such a dilemma what can labor
organiza tions do?" he asked. ITO
obey these injunctions means ami

violate them means persecution and
punishment. Labor protests against
being placed in such d position"
The labor federation president as
serted that aside from 'the destruc-

upon the activities of organized labor"
they impose great financial burdens.
because they entail long and costly
court proceedings.

MOSCOW, May 25.--Negotiations
between Soviet Russia and the United
States promising improved relations
between the two countries now are in
progress at Geneva, according to re-
ports here. The reports explain that
the Soviet and American delegations
to the International Economic Con-
ference understand each other better
than any other delegations.
"Our delegations have had long con-
versations with the Americans, chiefly
with Henry NJ. Robinson Of California,
chairman of the American delegation,
regarding the granting of credits by
America to Soviet Russia" says
Russian cable dispatch.
Apparently America Is ready to
make concessions and grant more Ia
vorable terms for business, following
our latest conflict with England. In
connection with this, the trip of Ivy
Lee, representative of big American
industrial concerns at Moscow ana
Geneva, is significant"
Henry J. Freyn departed by ar

Soviet Russia. or possibly any other

neither acquaintances in Moscow nor

or New York bankers, with which ne

serious results, for the peace of
