SRSmPEpE MARION DRAKE AND JULIUS ROS ENWALD FOR SWEITZER Marion Drake, who ran as a candi date against Aid.

I LABOR BODY TO CO-OPERATE IN BIG QUESTION HERE Samuel Gombers, pres. American Fed. of Labor, will arrive in Chicago late today or tomorrow. Thos. Williams, president of the building trades dept. of Xhe A. F. of L., and three international union presi dents are here and two other inter national officers are on their way. It means that the national labor body is going to co-operate with the local councils in an earnest endeavor to settle the disagreement over the proposed joint building trades agree ment without the catastrophe of a lockout. It is not likely that the unions which oppose the agreement will re cede from their position, for to do so would be simply suicide for their or ganizations. There is no reason, however, why the matter should not be settled without either side giving up any attribute of their welfare. The feeling of Samuel Gompers to wards the joint agreement is best ex pressed in his own words. "The worst I have ever seen proposed by well organized labor men. I can imagine men who ahve been defeated after a long fight accepting it not other wise." Among labor leaders of national importance who are here to aid in the fight against the Simon O'Donnell agreement are the following interna tional presidents: Frank J. McNulty, electricians; J. J. Hynes, sheet metal workers; W. H. Johns, machinists. Geo. Hendricks, international presi dent, and J. Skemp, int. secretary of the painters, are due here. These men and local business agents held a meeting at Geo. Fry's office today which was attended by Thos. Williams. Williams is not expected to enter the fight on either side. Neither is it expected that Gompers will at once take sides or suggest any radical move .,-). c.-i'i i MUMIila . . r ... '.rtl
