Ry GEORGE NOX MrCAIN Chicago. July 2.1. A far greater danger threatena tlys American Feder ation of Laber than that of losing cither or both of the strikes new in progress. It is the menace of Red revolution; the triumph of rndlcnlistn lu Its ranks, the attempts te grnft upon it, or trans form it into a species of communism that finds its best example in Soviet Russia of today. The danger Is recognized by Samuel Gompers. It Is feareil by many ether conservative leaders in the vnrled In dustrial organizations affiliated with the federation, e "Ne later than Raturdav lat Daniel H. Robertsen, president of the Hrothcr Hrethcr Hrothcr heod of Fnglncmen nnd Locomotive Firemen, sent u wnrn.ing far nnd near te the railroad workers of every kind. In this nation-wide warning, Mr. Robertsen cautioned his organization 1 and the members of all crnfts "te be , extremely careful net te be deceived by I emissaries or secret Influences whose real object lies be; end the accomplish ment of the destruction of the brother hood." Communists Plotting It was a confession as well as a warning. A frank acknowledgment that there are agencies within the rall- 1 reed workers' organization which seek te destroy them. They are led by communists. They nrc npenlj aided nnd nbctted by influential etlicl.tl.i of thpse organi zations. They are lending their names epculv and unblushing!- te the move ment.

The result has been that In every one of the railiead labor organizations there is a Mnnll but glowing body of teachers nnd preachers of Industrial anarchy. They epenlj advocate the overthrew of all existing forms of labor combinations and organization They are particularly bitter against the Federation of Laber. Movement Filled With Hatred Little was heard about radicalism when the coal strike ami the shepmen's strike were Inaugurated. Hut as the strikes have been protracted, discontent has arisen and this is being fanned te hunting eenl of hatred for everything and everybody that Is net an enemy of capitalism, se-called, and organized labor as it exists today. It is Red revolution ihat they preach, ami they advocate affiliation with the Red Intcrnuliennlc of Moscow.
