Mouatreai,
May 9th.—‘"Hallucination of
lunatics’’ was the
term used
by Mr.
Sam-
uel Gompers,
President
of the American
Federation
of Labour,
in commenting
on
the view
by ‘‘Reds’’ in
Canada
and
in
the United States,
that organized
labour
on this continent
will line up
eventually
with the
Third Internationale of Russia.
““The Labour
movement
in Canada
and
the United States
the most potential,
im-
portant
and
successful
of
any
labour
movement
of any country
in the
world,”’
Mr. Gompers
declared,
‘'lt deals
less
in
flamboyant
declarations
and
proclama-
tions,
but our
movement
is engaged
in
the
achievements
and
accomplishment
of things for the

of la-
bour.
Any movement,
must
be
judged
by its accomplishments
in the interest of
those

it
and
compared
with the economic
