Reports from the Massachusetts Gen eral Hospital indicate that Mr. DriscOll will recover. Governor Guild called at the hospital yesterday, carrying with him a bouquet of flowers for the injured man. The Governor will visit Wells Memorial today where the body of Mr. Cohen will lie in state. After leaving the hospital Governor Guild said that Mr. Driscoll was conscious and hopeful of early re covery. He encouraged him to hope for an early release from the hospital. A great many of the members and officers of labor organizations in Bos ton and vicinity read with interest the editorial in the Boston Post yesterday, which suggested that it would be a “gracious and friendly and apprecia tive act on the part of labor organiza tions to establish a relief fund in be half of the late Mr. Edward Cohen and Mr. Dennis D. Driscoll, and in be half of those dependent upon them.” SYMPATHY APPRECIATED Henry Abrahams, secretary of the Bos ton Central Labor Union, said: ‘The edi torial in the Boston Post in reference to a fund for the families of Cohen and Driscoll is but another exhibition of the well known generosity of our people. “The trade union movement appreci ates the feelings of our fellow citizens. It shows that ‘one touch of nature makes the whole world kin.’ ‘Should it be necessary, the trades unions will act on the suggestion of the Post. We understand and appreciate the sympathy shown by our fellow citizens, together with the kindness of the press.” Acting President Philip H. Sweet, of the State branch, American Federation of Labor, said: ‘We intend to wait and see how Mr. Driscoll comes out. He is not wholly out of danger yet, perhaps, al though just now it looks as though he would recover. At the proper time some thing will be done in the way of a tes timonial, in all probability. President Patrick Maloney of the Bos ton Central Labor Union said: “I think we had better wait and see how Mr. Driscoll is coming out before we take any decisive action on this matter.” former President C. A. Winslow, of the State branch, A. Belle said: “I do not care to say anything about the suggestion for a fund at the present time. Mr. Sweet and and several others were just talking privately about that very matter, but nothing has been decided yet and probably will not be until Mr. Dris coll’s condition becomes improved.” Thomas J. Minihan, international or ganizer of the teamsters, said: “The iden is a good one. They ought to raise such a fund. A precedent has already been established in the case of the deaths of other labor men. II do not see why it should not be done in the case of Cohen and Driscoll.” President P. D. Daley of the Cambridge Central Labor Union said: “It is an ex cellent idea. ‘They couldn't do anything different under the circumstances, it seems to me. What have they got? Nothing. I think the Post's suggestion is a good one. We were talking over this very matter among ourselves last night, and agreed that something of the sort should be done.”’ At the joint meeting of the executive boards of the State Branch, A. F. of L., and the Boston Central Labor Union, last night In the Wells s.Memorial building, it was stated that it had come to the knowledge of both organizations that cer tain parties are already at work solicit ing subscriptions from business concerns and others for organized labor on account of Mr. Cohen and Mr. Driscoll. “The joint boards,” it was announced, “wish it to be distinctly understood that no solicitors have been authorized to col lect subscriptions in Boston or in any other city for this purpose at the pres ent time.” Edward McGovern, William Keating, Patrick O'Connor.
