Says He Has no Concern as to Wbat Organised Labor May Do to Him. Chicago, April 20. The Chicago Federation of Labor baa adopted a resolution recommending that the American Federation of Labor invade the state of Indiana with 100 organizers and with SIOO,OOO to “build a bulwark of rebuke around D. M. Parry, president of the National Manufacturers’ association.” Indianapolis, April 22.— The attention of David M. Parry, of the National Manufacturers association, was called to the fact that the Chicago Federation of Labor bad passed resolutions recommending that the American Federation of Labor invade Indiana to “build a bulwark of rebuke” around Parry. ‘That would be very unjust to the Indiana manufacturers,” said Parry, “some of whom may not share fully my views. That is just what 1 have been referring to as ‘brute force.’ It is that tendency of organized labor to insist that every one think as it does or crush him oat that la its most obnoxious feature. “As for what the federation may do, I personally do not have any great concern. I have never had to ask an applicant if be was a union man or not I have always believed each workman a aid maintain his own individuality, bold to this belief.”
