At End of Their Patience

Organised Labour and Farmers THREATS OP DIKEur ACTION United Press Association—-By Electric Telegraph—Copyright Received Thursday, 7.40 p.m. WASHINGTON, Jan 25. “Organised Labour has reached the end of it's patience, and we shall use our might to compel plain remedies withheld by those whose misfeasance caused our woe,’’ president Green, of the American Federation of Labour, declared to-day in an interview published in “Nation’s Business," tho official magazine of the United States Chamber of Commerce. Pointing out that American Labour had not suddenly become revolutionary, Mr. Green declared that necessity dictates that now is the time to fight the battle for restoration of safeguards confiscated by “pillaging bands of exploiters." Mr. Green has been advocating Congressional measures for a six-hour day and five days a week as tho means of stabilising employment. Tbeir passage during the present session is highly doubtful.
