about a general strike in protest
sgaintt the use of the injunction
sought by Attorney General Haugh

the seriousness which even a gesture
of this character has in the present
inflamed stste of the public mind.
It is not believed, however, that the
executive council of the American
Federation of Labor would attempt
to engineer a general strike, Tne

once aroused, is irresistible.
