COOLIDGE WARNS UNIONS.

May Be Divorced from Government--League Issue Not Dead.

BOSTON, Nov. 24.--Vice President-elect Coolidge, speaking last night before a group of Boston business men, asserted that in the last election the country had expressed its opinion against organized labor as it had a few years ago against organized capital, and warned against the danger that labor might be divorced from a part in the government just as organized capital had been divorced. The issue of the league of nations, Governor Coolidge said, had not been decided by the people.

Governor Coolidge said that although he did not know "what is in the mind of Senator Harding," except what he had gathered from his speeches in regard to the league, he did know that the league of nations brought back by President Wilson was "dead." Whether the people would decide to use the old league as a working basis in forming a new world body was the question, the governor asserted.
