U.S. Federation of Labour's "Hearty Welcome"
New York, Nov. 7.
Mr. William Green, President of the American Federation of Labour. has extended a "hearty" invitation to the Duke and Duchess of Windsor to visit the United States following the retirement of Mr. Charles Bedaux, who had antagonized American unions by his rationalization schemes, from the management of the trip.
The postponement of the tour has caused keen disappointment to a large section of the public. The newspapers indicate that when the couple visit the United States under auspices other than Mr. Bedaux' they will be given "a hearty American welcome."
It is now revealed that the hostile demonstration which had been planned was not directed against the visitors but against Mr. Bedaux.
Paris considers that the Duke has taken a wise step, while Berlin makes no comment.—Reuter.
